Eufy Lumi Plug-In Night Light, Warm White LED, Light Sensor


The 4 pack Lumi Plug model T1303 comes in a small standard box that weighs in at 7.2 pound that is not too obtrusive but clearly explains what Is in the box. They are rated at an input AC120V-60Hz and Power 0.4W.


The packaging of each night light is in a soft white plastic pouch. Clearly quality is eufy strength. You get two leaflets one is instructions on usage which are self-explanatory and the other is a Happy Card with warranty information.


One is greeted with 4-night lights that are white in nature and a small eufy logo at the bottom of the white light. The LED glow a soft white light that is not harsh to the eyes something that I clearly consider when looking for night lights and are bright enough for any space be it in the bathroom, bedroom or walkway in the house.

At 12.99 they are great value for money when you compare to other models that retail for 15 dollars for a two pack.Anyone looking for nice white night lights ought to take a look at this. The only caveat I have noticed is that its only useful being connected to the top socket since if connected to the bottom socket that leave the top socket covered. Also noteworthy is that the light turns on only when the room is pitch black.

I own several Anker products and have been impressed every time and now recommend their products to family and friends and this is no exception.Would definitely get another pack.

Ear Trumpet-What Windows 10 Should have Shipped With!


Do I dare say Windows 10 is damn near perfect OS but there is something that i believed is missing,and that is the ability to control individual sounds.By Individual sounds i mean for example i have Tidal playing and have it set at 67 % and systems sounds are too loud at 67 % and would like to have them at 4 % and Chrome at 100% but there is now way to do that until i discovered this app in the Microsoft App Store!

Microsoft does have an App Store for those wondering and it does have some meh apps  and some gems like  Ear Trumpet.This App has apparently been around since 2016 and frankly this is what Microsoft  10 should have been shipped with.

The latest iteration is:

  • version 2.0.3.0

– Fixed an issue with certain apps (e.g. Sea of Thieves) not appearing correctly – Added additional languages (Arabic, Spanish, Hungarian, Korean, Turkish, and Ukrainian).Its only 26.47MB the install is pretty easy.

Once installed you get this sound icon similar to the stick but with options to set the volume individually!!!!. Plus this App has a 4.5 Rating on Microsoft’s App store.

Ear Trumpet

Minimum Requirements:

Windows 10 x86

Additional Features:

  • Visualize Audio with Multi-Channel Aware Peaking
  • Default playback device management
  • Automatic updates via the Microsoft Store
  • Support for light/dark mode and all accent colors
  • Configurable hotkey
  • Modern context menus
  • Growing multi-lingual support
  • Cairo Shell support

For more information you can visit their Github webpage.

Dont take my word for it,go to the App store and download the app and take it for  a spin.

 

Recycle Bin Pro-Tip!


How many time have you deleted something from the Recycle Bin and immediately regretted it,or wondered why you did not get a delete confirmation.

Well it would behoove you to perform the following steps to check whether the ‘delete confirmation‘ is turned on

  •  Right click on the Recycle Bin icon on Windows 10 desktop
  •  Select Properties and once the Recycle Bin Properties dialog opens
  • Check the box next to Display delete confirmation dialog. Then click Apply and OK.

And just like that you are all set.
