Update 3/13/13 The 2 I bought are still working fine and have been plugged in since I bought them. They have been in continual use since delivery in 2009.
I purchased this unit after trying many, many, many different types of night lights for elderly parents, one with Alzheimer's. Because my dad has advanced Alzheimer's and we care for him at home it is necessary that we have a night light that turns on and lights well enough for him to get out of bed in the middle of the night and walk safely. This has a night light built in AND a plug in for another stronger lamp to light up the room which triggers along with the sensor.
All of the other night lights I've tried are simply too weak, die too quickly, or have the plugs not face the correct direction in the wall sockets. In frustration I tried this unit and it seems to have alleviated all of those problems.
We rigged it nearer to where he gets out of bed and plugged in a good night lamp that is bright enough to light the room but not bright enough to wake my mother. This unit works perfectly for that. It does have a night light attached but it is not bright enough for my dad which is why the plug in for the lamp on this unit is perfect. This will probably be the last night light I'll have to get since it finally affords the amount of light needed for my father to see well enough to get around his room at night. I am pleased with this and very happy with the results. We've had no incidents with him walking into things at night ever since we got this. Prior to that we had sensor night lights in every socket and not one of those really helped. This is finally something we can count on for his safety.
Update 1/25/2013: The lights are still working perfectly as they were still new. We still keep the lamps plugged in but now they are for mom and I helping change dad at night. He's not been ambulatory or able to control functions any longer but he's still with us and still appears to be running very well (relatively speaking) just like these lights I got and am reviewing and still praising. These lights have been in use every day and night since they arrived in the house years ago. You absolutely cannot go wrong with these based on my experience after buying 2 units.

After some initial confusion re operation parameters, I found the sensor works quite well. I was initially confused because the sensor did not seem to work properly, then I realized it apparently has an ambient light sensor which prevents it from switching on & off when the ambient light is above a certain level (i.e., you can see). The night light is nice and can be folded down if you don't want to use it. I purchased the sensor because my mother is elderly and frequently gets up in the middle of the night. The sensor works quite well turning a light on & off using user preset timer options. Be careful not to buy an "occupancy" sensor unless that is specifically what you want. I wanted something which would turn off the light even when my mother was in the room, but not moving around, and this does the job perfectly.
