Get a 5-pack of outlet covers with nighttime safety lights for $15 – CNET

You know you’re in a fancy house when there’s a soft glow of guide lights illuminating stairs and hallway baseboards. Here’s a way to make your house a little more like Bill Gates’ summer home — these outlet covers have built-in LED guide lights. Regularly $20, you can get a five-pack of these outlet covers for $15 with promo code CNETOTPL. That’s $3 for each one. 

These plates come in two styles to suit most electrical outlets, and both feature a trio of LED lights that point down at the floor. There’s no battery or special wiring needed; just remove the old cover and push this new one into place. Two electrical contacts hug the outlet and draw power for the LEDs (estimated to cost about 10 cents a year). And the lights only run at night thanks to the small photosensor.

I love guide lights like these. Not only are they convenient and improve safety, but they really enhance the look of your home after dark. What do you think about these outlet covers? Let me know in the comments.
