The motion sensor picks them up as they open their bedroom door and illuminates the landing and almost to the bottom of the stairs. I previously had one of these and decided to purchase more as I found it extremely helpful at the top of my stairs and the torch is excellent too. I am reluctant to try various values as the charger circuit is at potentially mains voltage and the value is probably quite critical due to significant load changes when the torch unit is removed and replaced.

It is perfect at night time when some one might want to use the bathroom and makes this safe to do so and the light stays lit to give enough time to walk back to your bedroom. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. One is for a friend with grandchildren staying over regularly, extremely useful for through the night.I did replace the resistor with a much higher rated one which got too hot to touch so I replaced the transistor which also got hot. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. Great idea and useful features, but for domestic use is probably too bright even on the lowest setting. Just plug in and go, good bright light when it gets triggered and the low level light which stays on during the hours of darkness is useful. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

I liked the product so much that I sought out a replacement battery, of trusted pedigree, the battery details are as follows Branded as Master Instruments Mod TB-144301C065. My problem is that the resistor is now black and grey with no colour bands so I have no idea of its value. When the parts arrived and were fitted it was dis-appointing to find the charger would still not work, but a check of the transistor with the component tester revealed that its pins were BEC instead of ECB like the original! I traced the circuit and used a circuit simulator to try different resistor values but the results were inconclusive, partly because I was just guessing the effective inductance of the coil (particularly when the torch is in place).
