Nightguard Night Light and Torch

Product Information

the main capacitor fails 4uf at 450 volts is required and sometimes the mini fuse fails 1Amp and also the switching transistor which is a MJE13001 device can fail.

The motion sensor picks them up as they open their bedroom door and illuminates the landing and almost to the bottom of the stairs.

My problem is that the resistor is now black and grey with no colour bands so I have no idea of its value. 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.

This probably way too late but having had one of these passed to me by a neighbour I went through much of which has been written here but believe some of the advice given does have problems.

Don't get caught short stumbling over in the dark on your way to the bathroom (we've all been there); this nightlight will power on, illuminating your route without the need to touch a button! 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). Some products may be delivered straight to your door from one of our suppliers and these products will be labelled within the product description. It's been quite some time since I last posted on the forum but I have been regularly reading most of the contributions. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.Smarts is a family run retail business based in Cheshire, specialising in online sales of highly sought after brands. The inductor has a ferrite ring 'side-on' in the coil former to improve magnetic coupling with a similar 'secondary' coil in the torch. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging .

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.

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. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too.

It might be an idea to put 2 capacitors in parallel to improve reliability as 8uF will not affect operation. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. The pcb even has a transistor profile on it and they'd fitted opposite to the profile to suit themselves at manufacture. The torch function is great for those 'routing around in the dark; trying-to-find-your-phone-charger moments' when you don't want to disrupt your household, and, it's great for the little-ones who can grab the torch to do their exploring!

Great idea and useful features, but for domestic use is probably too bright even on the lowest setting. Friends in the city happened to have 2 of these , one of which had 'died' just like the one I already had, and they sent me a good clear photo of the internals as well as the dead unit! 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 needed the value of the burnt resistor which I found on another site but the damned thing still didn't work so I took another link to get here. As a coincidence, the Aldi catalogue arrived in the letterbox the next day and I was surprised to see these same units on sale! 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. 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. One is for a friend with grandchildren staying over regularly, extremely useful for through the night.
