Too bad this light has a UK plug and runs on 220-250VAC 50Hz...I can't test this with US 110-120VAC 60Hz power and US plugs. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Hmmm, methinks time to go and have a hunt around see if I can find one of these in Aberdeen...

Thanks for the heads up Adam!

Craig, Do you have a cooker outlet? can get 220V across these in US wiring I believe.

Zelandeth, try visiting Au Naturelle, UK store dealing in cheap home decor, look for the Glowball at 3 GBP, Mathmos knockoff basically at 10% of price....

Will try and get examples of both sent to The LED Museum for Craigs perusal.

They are available at DIY stores as well. I've got one of those (couldn't resist since it was a LED) and I like it, but i don't like the fact that it dims the LED when the light level gradually increases from outside. Makes me wonder if a current keeps flowing trough it during the day too. albeit a small one.
It's nice to use for floor lighting at night though.

There is a 220VAC outlet behind the stove/oven, but my kitchen is far too small for me to pull out/unplug the stove to plug a nightlight in. And I'd need an adapter to convert the socket on the receptacle to the socket needed by the nightlight. The AC power here is 60Hz, not 50Hz, so the nightlight may not function properly even if I was able to pull the stove out and plug the adapter/nightlight combination into that receptacle.
