Unless it's incandescent, lights use so little power it's not worth spending even $10 on power savings.
That said, I have some LED nightlights that I use to provide "navigation lights." They don't put off enough light to do much more than see if there's a wall in the way or I'm going to step on a cat, but that's enough to walk around. They're something like 0.5 watts. That comes to 4.3 kilowatt-hours over the course of a year -- which for me is less than $0.50. And these models don't have a built in dusk-to-dawn light sensor that turns them off. They just run 24/7.
I've got 5 of them in my house (which pretty much covers the whole thing), so that's a whopping $2.50/yr.
Virtually everything you try will cost you more than the power you'll save. Here's a 4-pack of 0.3 watt nightlights with light sensors for $8. https://www.amazon.com/Maxxima-MLN-16-Night-Sensor-Lumens/dp/B00IXWYR42/ Assuming they don't burn out (and my LED nightlights have lasted almost a decade now with no signs of change), your total cost of ownership for the pack until the kid graduates high school will be under $20 (assuming they run an average of 12 hours a day).
That is absolutely true if you actually do the fucking math. Every single time this shows up here, there's some True Believer who takes whatever PR video or pamphlet given out as absolute gospel and denies that physics is a thing.
This is real simple: Take a 10 kg mass, hoist it 2 meters up under Earth's gravity. That represents an energy potential of 196 joules. If you plan to do that every 30 minutes, that is equivalent to 0.1 watt-hours. Not kilowatt-hours. By way of comparison, you can't really buy a screw-in LED light-bulb that runs on less than 40 times that amount. LED night-lights, which generate just enough light for you to tell if there's something in front of you in the dark, use 3 times that amount. And remember, this is the ideal setup, assuming no losses or inefficiencies at all. In reality, you'll be lucky to pull in even half that.
You want to crank that power generation up, you either have to lift more, lift it higher, or lift it more frequently. To crank it up to levels where you can actually comfortably light up a room, you'd effectively be lifting a very heavy rock up past your ceiling every few seconds.
Hello everyone. I made a negative which allows you to produce pieces that fit perfectly onto a cheap night light you can find on Amazon.
I posted this in 3D printing, but figured that you guys may actually get more use out of it in here.
There is a full video tutorial along with the file on Thingiverse.
Enjoy :)
