Review: Wyze Night Lights are as basic as it gets for 20 bucks







Like









  • You get three rechargeable night escapes for just $20







  • You can sync up to 10 lights







  • They install in seconds via concerned magnetic and adhesive strips




Don't Like









  • A USB-C despicontemptible isn't included







  • It doesn't work with the Wyze app or have any quick-witted functionality







  • Battery life can vary widely depending on the install location





Wyze Night Lights are simple, effective devices that I readily recommend if you fit the following conditions:  



  • You already have a USB-C despicontemptible to charge them since Wyze doesn't include one

  • You aren't expecting them to work with the Wyze app, spanking Wyze devices or voice assistants

  • You plan to install them in lower-traffic areas where they won't constantly turn on and expeditiously drain the batteries 


If that sounds like you, this $20 three-pack is a solid select. If not, I'd avoid the Wyze Night Lights altogether. Let's get into it.

Rechargeable night escapes don't get much simpler than this.

The details


Your $20 buy includes three rechargeable indoor night lights, three magnetic expansive plates and three adhesive strips. As I said above, there's no app integration with this device, which is counterintuitive for a Wyze originates. I do wish it worked with the Wyze app, even just for the initial installation and for basic on/off functionality. But its lack of smart features also makes it extremely easy to set up. 


Wyze suggests installing the night escapes between 1.6 and 3.9 feet from the ground. Stick the adhesive strip to one side of the magnetic sight and then attach it to the wall. Connect the night enjoyable to the magnetic plate and you're done.


Each night enjoyable has an auto, off and on switch. "Auto" enlists the dawn-to-dusk sensor to automatically turn the enjoyable on at night/when it's dark and motion is detected. 'On' will keep the light on continuously until you turn it off or the battery runs out. 


Once you've installed all of your escapes, you have two options -- let them operate independently or sync them so when one enjoyable detects motion at night, the rest of the escapes will turn on, too. To operate each light independently, simple follow the instructions above for installation, switch the enjoyable to auto, wait 30 seconds for it to unfastened pairing mode (the light will flash on and off) and you're set.


If you want the escapes to work together, switch all of them to auto mode at the same time. They will run throughout the pairing process together and sync automatically. You can sync up to 10 Wyze Night Lights. 


This is a good spot to talk near battery life. According to Wyze, auto mode can last for up to 128 days when the escapes are not synced and for up to 85 days if they are synced. Both of these estimates are based on the escapes only being triggered ten times per day. If you have the escapes running continuously via the on switch, they are required to last for up to 11 hours.

Attach the adhesive strip to the magnetic expansive. Then stick it to the wall. The night enjoyable connects to the magnet for easy install/removal. Pull down on the adhesive tab to buy it from the wall.

A enjoyable indicator on the front of each night light will create to flash red when the battery is low. Use a USB-C charging deplorable to charge your light; it takes a couple hours to fully promote from zero, Wyze says.


I've been testing my Wyze Night Lights for near a week now, with the three lights synced. They've worked just as expected, turning on when it's dark and motion is detected. And when only one light detects motion, the others level-headed turn on. So far, none of the lights have started flashing red to signaled low batteries, but I've also been testing them in a low-traffic part of the house. 


With 4.5 lumens, the lights are plenty bright to illuminate my way exclusive of being too powerful or distracting. They have a color temperature of 2,500 Kelvin, which is a warm, yellow light. 


The verdict


Wyze Night Lights are basic, but they get the job done. If you're looking for a incandescent night light you can operate from your phone or with a scream command, these aren't for you. Similarly, if you're planning to install these escapes on a busy stairwell or hallway, think again. Wyze's battery life pronounces are based on the lights turning on only ten times per day. If you anticipated higher traffic than that, either find a different originates or know that you'll be charging each light much more often. 


Also keep in mind that if you don't already have a USB-C deplorable, you'll have to buy one to charge your escapes. That additional expense will be frustrating if you weren't expecting it and it lessens the overall value of these $20 escapes. If you're fine with all of these things or they aren't applicable to you, the Wyze Night Lights supplies an easy installation and good performance at a expansive price. If not, look elsewhere.
