how long (Hours) will the three side LED light stays on during a power outage.

3 out 4 of mine completely died within 5 hours. 1 barely hung on, ever so dimmly, maybe enough light to see 3 inches in front of it for at about 5 and half hours. based on that, In a few -6 months, I worried they wouldn't last 3, maybe 4 hours... if your lucky. I understand that in a power out, they will light your way, and help you find the regular battery type flashlights... but if your not home during those first hours (power out in day, lights go on for 3-4 hours, but you come home afterwards, in the dark, .. or if your asleep the first few hours, the lights die out before you wake up to go to the bathroom, or let the dogs out or what ever... your screwed... they are useless under those conditions. Probably better off looking for and paying a little extra for longer lasting ones... If your in hurry and want something ASAP before the next storm... Get 1 of these, while you look for better ones... (And test it!).

when plugged in does this also function as a night light?

The description is misleading. It says "plug in light" "24 hour guide light" which could be interpreted as a night light and it's NOT! However it great to have for power failure. It also has a small red indicator light that remains on all the time.

When you plug this into a wall socket will it also block the other socket? In the photos it appears that it does so I'd like to confirm that. Thanks

In one of those photos at Amazon, the AmerTec is plugged into the bottom outlet and is blocking the top one. Since the distance between the bottom of the light and the prongs is about ¼ inch, it can be plugged in and not block the other outlet below it if it is in the top outlet or above it if it is plugged into the lower outlet (upside down). If it is plugged into an ordinary, flat 6-outlet wall tap, it would block the adjacent outlet.

How bright? Light up the living room or hall enough to walk safely?

Yes, enough to walk and see all the room corners in a 25x30 foot room. The way I have it set, when the power goes out the side LEDs are quite bright. Flashlight mode is very adequate. I'm thinking of buying another one. It's really much smaller than I imagined, but for $8.99, what I paid, it's given me peace of mind. The light is enough, in the center of the house to pour through the hallways and kitchen so you can make your way to it. Like a moth! ;)
