The SnapRays Guidelight is a brilliant light up outlet that automatically turns every receptacle into a night light in the dark. One of the most impressive features about the SnapRays is that they can be installed without wiring and actually draw power from the outlet's receptacle. Although this might seem costly, it's estimated that the SnapRays Guidelight only consumes about about ten cents worth of power over the course of an entire year.
The LED-integrated outlet covers cost $12 each and claim to have a life of about 25 years. People are snapping up multiples of them now in bulk while the Kickstarter campaign is ongoing and the SnapRays Guidelights have already been incredibly successful with its crowdfunding efforts so far on Kickstarter. Initially hoping to raise $12,000, the project has already collected well over $140,000 and still has just about a month to go.
