Is the "emergency" light the same brightness as the regular "night light" function? Or is the emergency light brighter?

The flashlight with 3 led's come on when the power goes off. The nightlight has one led and can be turned on or off.When turned on the night light stay's on and if the power goes off the flash light turns on when on automatic.

I just checked. The emergency light is slightly brighter than the night light function. But not big difference.

The emergency light / flashlight side has 3 led lights. The night light has one led light. Night light has an option of being turned off.

Thankfully, I have not had to use in an emergency. However, the night light is very bright, if that is an indication. There are high and low light features and a blinking light too. Hope those helps.

Has anyone else tried the "bright" mode trick? Any comments on the difference...

There is only a little band of light around the top and bottom, so it isn't very bright at all (about like a night light). I leave mine running in the bedrooms 24/7.

I'm using this as an emergency light in case of power failure. When plugged in a power socket and charged up it automatically lights up in case of power failure or if you remove in from the power outlet, and you can use it as a portable light. As best as I can tell, it has no "night light" functionality, unless there is a power failure or if you unplug it from a power socket.

Jon - That's actually one of the features of our "BrightStart" Technology. Every time the you turn the flashlight off, the next time you turn it back on it will come on at it's brightest mode (it also does a bit more, but that's one of the features). After field testing early models with multiple first-responders and hunters, that was the #1 feature that they requested, since the vast majority did not want to always be cycling through the modes each time they turned it on to get back to the brightest mode. :)Sincerely,The Guardian 1300TL Team at Intervine

Not normal. The off position is in the center. Don't man handle the switch and feel the center slide. One direction is the main bright light. Complete opposite is the dull nightlight. In between the two is the off position.

The 'night light' feature is not always on and only comes on when they flashlight has it's AC power source removed. It will turn on automatically when the power goes out or if you remove it from the cradle. This makes the flashlight easier to find in a dark house, and when you pick it up it already turned on for you.

Low is still pretty bright. I have turned the night light toward the wall at times to make it less bright. I have not experienced a power outage yet, so I can't answer the second part. But, I do love this flashlight!

Flashlight feature is white LED. Emergency lights are red w/approx. 10 light sequences.

It is an emergency light. Plug it in and leave it there, in the event of a power failure it will come on and light your way. Great for when a storm knocks the power out at night. It can also be used as a flashlight.

I believe it is. I have one from Young Living and this one. I have used both the same and see no difference. I like this one because you can turn the light off. You cannot the Young Living.

It's pretty bright. I don't use it as an alarm clock, but I'll normall turn it off in my den because it draws attention when it's not in use. I really like this unit, but if bright light bothers you, you might want to choose somethiing else.

The light with new batteries is more like a 5 watt nightlight. The stars are very clearly seen on the ceiling, but they don't light up the room any more than a 5 watt nightlight. Once my eyes adjust to the light, I can easily see to move from the door to the bed and vice versa. The top of the turtle is fairly bright with new batteries, but our grandsons have their turtles on top of their dressers and they are too small to see the colored glow on the turtle itself. They and their parents think this is the perfect night light for a child. You should know though, that the light turns itself off after 45 minutes.... one reason the batteries last quite a long time.

This one has a "standard" indicator (which is a bit difficult to read, imo); the other has an electronic indicator (light). So regarding all of the negative reviews saying the light doesn't work, that's because there is no light.

No, but even at night its not distractingly bright. There is a newer version that has a safety cutoff built in if you lean out that's better than this model. Of course it costs more. If you're running a bit fat for safeties sake then this is a good buy

I checked the box and it doesn't inlcude that info. I'm very happy with it. On high, it's like a decent flashlight (but not as small a focused area that flashlights provide). On low, have used it as a nightlight and it stayed on all night. It's not super bright but is very satisfactory for me. (It should include lumens, though)

Correct. This is an emergency power failure light. Its main purpose is to provide you some light for a few hours, so that you can get to safety or find some other light sources. It is not powerful enough to light up a room or to last overnight. For that you'll need an LED lantern that runs on D cells.
