Why You Can Trust CNET Get a 5-pack of outlet covers with nighttime safety lights for $13
This clever design offers a gentle night light for pennies a year and you never have to replace batteries.
Never stumble in the dark again. These LED-equipped outlet covers will light your way.
You know you're in a fancy house when there's a soft glow of guide lights illuminating stairs and hallway baseboards. Here's a way to make your home a little more like Bill Gates' summer mansion: Snazzy outlet covers with built-in LED guide lights. Regularly $20, you can get a five-pack of these outlet covers for $13 with promo code CNETOCV. That's less than $3 each, and a dollar less than the last time I saw this deal.
These plates come in two styles to suit most electrical outlets, and both feature a trio of LED lights that point down at the floor. There's no battery or special wiring needed; just remove the old cover and push this new one into place. Two electrical contacts hug the outlet and draw power for the LEDs (estimated to cost about 10 cents a year). And the lights only run at night thanks to the small photosensor.
I love guide lights like these. Not only are they convenient and a safety improvement, they really enhance the look of your home after dark. What do you think about these outlet covers? Let me know in the comments.
