What are the best night lights and where can I get some? I'm
talking about lights that burn about 4 watts and you place them
in a hallway or bathroom. I have been using the Chinese made GE
model but the quality (both lifespan and filament breakage) is
horrible! Seems like Target only carries this model. Any
suggestions?
TIA.

I would suggest buying 7 watt bulbs that are rated for 130 volts instead of
120 volts. The higher voltage rating will allow them to burn cooler and last
much, much longer, while producing less light than a 7 watt 120 volt bulb.
You can buy 25 bulbs for $5.00 at the following source...

You might consider LED night lights (look up on google) that take fraction
of the watts that an incandescent bulb does, and the led's last practically
forever. I think some of the big box stores sell them, as well. They often
operate in three modes: motion detecting, always-on, and darkness
detecting. LED's give off much more light than the "green glowing types",
but a bit less than a 7w incandescent.
