I just received two of the three versions of this light; the third is on it's way to me.

GE enbrighten lights on Amazon are rectangular, picture frame shaped lights that either plug in or run on 6xAA's. Before going any farther, what makes these lights interesting? The light quality. A warm, very bright smooth as glass flood at just the right color temp. No other battery powered light like it. Blows away Energizer fusion lanterns, of which I have several. Available for 15-29 bucks; I think they're a bargain.
The build is very good quality but not intended for water resistance, so not a traditional lantern in that respect. It's aimed at being an acceptable or attractive part of your home decor.
3 models all of the same look, size and light quality. A plugin nightlight style with motion sensor. Similar light that's 6xAA powered, and lastly a 6xAA version with a pressure on/off switch.
Some interesting features. All have a brushed nickel front and solid multi position kickstand, as well as keyhole mount and hardware. The tube shaped light emitter is around 3" long and has a plastic diffusion shroud (removable). All have dimmer functions, with two of them being a continuous slider, the other a three-mode brightness.
The on/off 6aa one is the most lantern like. Current draw is 30ma on lowest setting and 400ma on high. So, a very respectable 4+ hours of high using standard eneloops. The pressure switch requires your finger to join two metal contacts for activation. It is not a clicky and has no moving parts. The range of output varies greatly, making it a super useful light. The excellent warm tint makes this light very pleasant to have on for all uses. It shuts off automatically after an hour to preserve battery power.
The plugin nightlight version is a little brighter (400 lu vs 300), but not noticeable unless side by side. It covers both outlets intentionally to turn a vacant outlet into what looks like a light fixture, not a plasticky cheap nightlight. Great warm tint for nightlight function that's easy on the eyes. In that mode, dimming it to almost lowest output is necessary. In full blast mode (GE compares it to a 40W incan bulb. They're right), it's the best hallway etc light I've seen. The motion sensor activation only works in darkness, and stays on for 5 mins after the last motion is detected. I think that is great if you are moving in and out of an area; it stays on until you're done and leave.
The 6xAA motion version is en route. I ordered it immediately after receiving the first two. It has three output levels and will make a superb closet light, etc.
GE did a nice job on build quality, looks, function, features, light quality and quantity, as well as price.
Bravo.
