Hello - I`ve just invented an innovative product and am in the process of marketing, distribution and sales.  Any suggestions about my ecommerce site www.nitetrip.com would be greatly appreciated.  Also, if you have any feedback on the product or price, I would love to hear from you.  Thanks for taking a look.

I like the idea and hope you sell a million.  My critique .....
 
What size is it?  What type of batteries does it use, and approximately how long will they last under normal use, if you can determine what normal use is.
 
And you should try to take some night shots with the product in place so it not only shows approximately how much light it throws off, but how well it blends with varied decor or how inobtrusive it is because of its size or design ..... etc.  As with any product, you need to "sell it" not just show it. 
 
So far as the price point is concerned, you`re in Sharper Image territory at $25 for a night light, so you`d do well to look through their catalog and site to see how they sell/show things.
 
Again, best of luck.

Very cool idea, and attractive site. I would suggest maybe a little rewording on the main page, and if possible a couple of small images of the light actually in a setting where it will be used, so the viewer gets the overall idea a little sooner. Good information overall, and the price isn`t as high as I would have first thought.

Overall, I think it`s a good job.

I would leave out the pseudo-science in the Features page.  First, the math doesn`t work.  The wavelength of 8Hz is 3.175mm or 3174 nm, almost an order of magnitude larger than the 400 nm wavelength of the blue LED.  If in fact you are using a PCM Charge Pump to pulse the LED at 8Hz, then it would be a very annoying flicker.

The main features stand well on their own without the techno blabber.

Hi TomNiteTrip,

Nice site!  I`d almost recommend placing your concepts with the features page or adding it to your front page to get people "hooked" quicker. 

Good navigation although I have to strain for the top tabs.  It might be beneficial to make those tabs a bit brighter.

Other than that, it looks great!  Hope you sell millions!!

There are a few of us working together tonight, and we all loved it!! And the web site, is clean, classy and to the point. The product is Hot, Hot, Hot!! You know, when folk`s have a house that is lacking in switch lights and only lamps.. this is great for that. Or going out early, thinking you will be back early enough, so you don`t put on the lights... you now..having this wold eliminate that darkness and stumbling. I just went back to see if I could afford one.. Yes I can 25 buckeroonies.. a deal.. Very Cool!! I bet you worked hard on this, great work!!

I, too, would like to have seen some pictures of the light in a bedroom, hallway, or wherever---in a night-time setting. If not, then I`d like to at least see the light in its packaging as you`d see a standard product in a store.

One thing kind of weird is that it`s my understanding that of all the colors that don`t mess up our night vision, red is the best. So how come blue?

All in all, it`s a pretty nifty idea for the bedside. I`d think you might include a sort of "Use it in.....situations" list, like an infommercial. :-)
