Never knew what they were. We rented before buying and the home had one in the bathroom. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to turn off the damned bathroom light!

After learning what they were we have 2 of them in our little 2/2 which turns an always dark during the day hallway & kitchen into a well lit sunny space. It also has a regular LED light in it for nighttime and a solar powered nightlight for getting up at 2AM. Best thing we did.
