Blue LED night lites from the Dollar Store

Andy replies: Thanks for the website -- I'll bookmark it in my circuits folder..

The first circuit shown under AC Circuits is similar to the light I'm talking about, except a 470K resistor is added across the capacitor, apparently to make sure the circuit doesn't hold a charge to surprise someone when it is unplugged....

In a reply to krw@att today, I posted a nodelist. Very simple.

I really like your idea about adding a second LED to replace the reverse diode..... The units I have are simple to disassemble and modify, and I'll probably try it out ..

I've got a showerhead that lights up the water in a stream of multi-colors. The (non-LED) lights are powered by the water running through the showerhead. It's fun.

heh,I was thinking these guys must like to change batteries,with all those LED lights in their fixtures;lots of little coin cells.

Thanks, I have one near me. I'll have to check if they carry them.

Beer would be less than a dollar if they sold it by the can. :-)

Aiming is too much trouble. Sitting is more relaxing. Damn prostate ...

I have taken to sitting down for the 2 am potty run. I have always left the light off for this event. Give it a try.

I'll have to draw it out later. No sharp sticks on this beach. ;-)

I really like these nite lights. I'm going to look at the Dollar Store and see if I can find some more. They are great for all over the house.

Put a big fast-rise power glitch into your simulation to see why all LED's don't just use series caps for limiting.

A few years ago, the $-store had nightlights with R-G-B leds that summed to white...sorta...

[Ed Pawlowski]

They are good, but, you may want to consider buying a $10 emergency night light. There are some LED night lights that are also a rechargeable flashlight. If the power goes out, the bright light goes on to light the way and is then able to be used as a carry around flashlight. I have one on each floor and they are very handy when the power goes out at night.

I'd be interested in a few of these lights, but which dollar store? There are many of them....

In my area we have Dollar General - Dollar Tree - Family Dollar and there's at least two more in a nearby larger city.

Please name the store!

I see it's been years since anyone has replied to you. Our Intermatic note lite model #GN141P, finally expired, after 30+years of service. Don't remember what we paid for it, whatever it was, it was WORTH IT! ❤
