Overview
Have children afraid of the dark and you
hate leaving the lights on? All those “night lights” you buy end up
being broken, batteries dying quickly and having no light? Well,
then, you need these all-encompassing guardians of the night. Datexx
has managed to come up with a “hot” and “cool” multi-purpose
lighting solution, which everyone can use anywhere you are or go.
The Sentina™ emergency lighting system satisfies many needs in the
home, outdoors, car, boat or any other location you may find
yourself in. How about lighting up your life effectively,
efficiently and securely.
The Sentina™ light acts as three lights in one. It senses motion, is
a photoelectric night-light and a very bright, portable flashlight.
Plug into any outlet; click the two nicely hidden switches (Power
auto/on/off and Nightlight auto/off) on each side to provide you any
of the functions listed above. Or, simply remove the fully
rechargeable (three NiMH batteries) unit from the outlet and
illuminate that dark pathway ahead of you with its brilliant
flashlight LED luminosity (200 lux). Did I say the flashlight mode
lasts 8 hours? Try to make your typical flashlight last that long
and remain that bright. The LED bulbs will remain operational for an
amazing 100,000 hours and are cool, at all times, to the touch. If
the electricity fails where they are plugged in; don’t worry as they
operate off of those long-lasting rechargeable batteries to keep you
from stumbling into any objects you don’t have a desire to meet.

I’m one to want
multi-functional use for any high-tech product I own or purchase
along with low maintenance costs and this certainly fits the bill.
I charged the batteries, plugged four of them in (no shock or Tesla
coil mishaps at all) the wall outlets in every room in the house,
garage and outside patio area. My illuminometer measured 201-lux so
the stated 200-lux was, indeed, met. Each Sentina™, as you can see,
is designed nicely to fit into any décor. The luminosity extends
from the LED bulbs encased in a hard plastic housing on the front of
the unit. When the electrical supply is interrupted, the Sentina™
can be removed and carried as a common flashlight. If you are an
insomniac and roam the house in the middle of the night, your child
arises in the dark, cats, dogs, lions, tigers and bears (oh my!)
move around; the Sentina™ senses that motion within a 10-12 foot
(304-365cm) range and softly produces a bright, phased array spot
light on the top to give your eyes additional time to adjust, and
light thy way. I placed the units with the spotlight in an up and
down configuration to illuminate up surfaces and down onto your
pathway.
I also have a beautiful home theater den and I wanted the
traditional theater experience soft lighting ambience we all enjoy
in that setting. They integrated perfectly for that purpose. If
you have different height placement desires, simply unplug them, use
some Velcro (I tried this on my own and is not recommended by the
manufacturer obviously) on the back and you have the light exactly
where you need it. Just remember to plug them back in during the
day to recharge the batteries for another night of harmonious
lighting. I also placed my personal “sentinels” (no suggestion here
to change the name) in my vehicle for my wife and children to
utilize as a reading light, and to act as a security light for her
to carry at night. Going on an airline flight? Bring it with you
for your very own personal seat/reading light and use in the hotels
you stay at. The variations of uses for the Sentinas™ are limitless
and certainly exceed any typical flashlight. T
Conclusion
The quality,
design, efficiency and multi-functional role they provide are
first-rate and, in my opinion, one of the best all-encompassing
“night light” systems available today. Try them tonight and “own
the dark”.
