Check Me Out

I love these lights! I've only had them for 3 days and already they've paid for themselves. As far as pros and cons? I haven't found any cons yet so let me give you the pros. 1) There is a small magnet on the center back that is wonderful if you use it on an appliance like a refrigerator or on a stove vent. 2) It also comes with a double-sided tape foam circle that fits perfectly on the underside over the magnet. I didn't need the inserted magnet and used the circle of tape instead. I didn't think it would hold well even though the lights themselves are very lightweight. To my surprise, I attached the circle, stuck it to the underside of my cupboards for a little light on the countertop, and reconsidered the location. When I went back an hour later to move it, it was holding much better than I realized and was glad I'd put it there in the first place. 3) Although we live in an older home that's been remodeled and updated, certain areas in our home could still use more outlets. Another reason I love these lights is they don't need to be plugged in. Each light takes 3AAA batteries which ordinarily would bother me since batteries are expensive. However, I use the rechargeable batteries AND the lights actually help keep their use to a minimum because ................ 4) ............ the lights only turn on when there is motion nearby and its dark enough. About 15 seconds after the movement stops, the lights turn off automatically. For example, speaking about the light under my cupboard, if I'm mixing a cake and I'm within 5 or 6 feet of the light, it will pick up my motion and turn on. As long as I'm working there the light will stay on. If I cross the room or leave for more than 15 seconds, the light turns off until I return. I love not having to flip a switch on or off with doughy or greasy hands. 5) The amount of light these give off is a plus for me, too. I put one near the coffee pot that goes on as soon as I enter the kitchen. Everyone knows how horrible it is to have a bright light hit your eyes when you first get up. These give off a soft, warm light so I can walk into a dark kitchen and still see everything I need to without going blind! I also don't need to be jolted awake by accidentally sticking my fingernail in the nearby outlet when trying to find the light switch. 6) Did I mention how quiet these are? I don't hear so much as a little click. They just 'light up'. 7) I have to reiterate how economical these are. They only turn on at night or when its dark enough and they turn off automatically. You don't even need to keep night lights on! 8) I actually bought a set of 3 for our stairway. When I received them I immediately opened the box to check for defects or damage and to try them out before adding them to the stairs. Consequently, I realized there were all kinds of places I could use them. As I said I put one under the upper cabinets to light up the kitchen countertop which works GREAT! There's also one in the bathroom and I put one above the dog dishes so I don't need to keep a light on in that room any longer. When the dogs get near it, it lights their food and water perfectly. 9) Now that I've used the original 3 lights for other locations in our house, I'm back to order a bunch more including 3 lights for the stairs .... again .... since I used them elsewhere. 10) One last point - I've also realized what a HUGE advantage these are for safety, not just for us who live here, but even more so for guests who don't know the lay of the house very well. These little lights mark where stairs start and end, where doorways are, where light switches, doors, and windows are, even how the furniture is arranged to avoid stubbed toes or falls. Think of how convenient it is have one or more in the bedroom to automatically turn off once you're in bed. They can even be added to the bottom of the bed to turn on when needed or in the baby's room to see while changing diapers without the glaring light of a lamp. Then too, intruders don't expect to be seen but will be when the lights turn on. Clearly I truly do love these lights. In fact, I'd love to buy them by the dozen so we can use them in the camper or in the shed! Heck, I can even put them in my china cabinet! The price is fantastic, too. A great buy for a sweet product! UPDATE!!! UPDATE!!! Well, my GREAT enthusiasm for these lights has flickered since a week has now passed. Initially, I was the biggest fan of these lights. Unfortunately, it looks like I let that enthusiastic excitement cloud my judgment. First, the same night I wrote the first review is when the lights started dimming. I walked into the kitchen and both of the lights I have in there came on immediately, but during the couple of minutes I got a glass of milk and snack they dimmed enough I actually had to look under the upper cabinets to see if they were even on. They were. So I changed the batteries thinking that was the problem, and it was. I was pleased to see both lights came back on as bright as when I put them up earlier. Its a shame my review can't end right there. A few hours later, I walked in and both lights were dark. Again I hoped it was the batteries so I changed them out again. New batteries added and brighter light again ............ temporarily. Ok, so I decided the only option left was to buy new batteries instead of the ones that were a few weeks old. I've not gotten them yet but now I need fewer batteries anyway. Yesterday, one of the lights that I didn't want to move because it was stuck so firmly in place, actually let go of the cabinet and hit the countertop on its way onto the floor. I'm so totally disappointed in this product. Having these little lights were great in the beginning and were exactly what I needed. Now I can't recommend them to anyone even with all the reasons that I got so excited about! On second thought, rather than continue to change out multiple batteries and hope they'll work later, I'll just return these and look for other lights instead. I'm still soooooo disappointed.

It's a bummer to have to install three AAA batteries in each light; however, these lights work incredibly well. Think about it. They only use juice when it's dark AND when it detects motion. Cool, right? How many times do you have to get up for liquid or to releave that liquid in the middle of the night only to wake others when you turn on the overheads? Not now. Not enough light to wake others but enough light to keep you safe. All without you having to turn on manually or disrupting others. The adhesive that comes with each one does have the strong holding power AND THE BEST PART the thing is magnetic. So it will stick to filing cabinets, refer doors, and light fixtures! I love them!

I bought this set of 3 motion lights to use in our pantry. When I first put the brand new batteries into each of these, they came on and stayed on for at least 15 seconds. However, after they initially turned off, only one would come again when I waved my hand in front of it. The other two would only turn on again when I removed the batteries and replaced them again. I tried several times in regular light and in a dark space, and the results were the same regardless of the location. The only light that came on again was also defective, because it would turn on immediately after turning off in the pantry. With the light mounted in the pantry, I closed the door and waited 15 seconds, and the light would go off for a partial second before turning on again. This repeated for a few minutes, and I finally determined that it was not working properly. I decided to return the lights instead of exchanging them, because I'm not certain that the quality control is very effective. I am leaving a 2 star review because the lights are bright, and they were effective at lighting a small pantry sufficiently. Instead of trying again with another set of lights that may or may not be defective, I decided to go with a different brand with a touch switch instead. ********** Updated review: The seller contacted me after I returned the lights and left an honest 2 star product review. They sent me a complimentary set even though I was refunded the original purchase price, so I just put the batteries in and tried them out. All three lights work exactly as described. I used a screw to act as a magnetic anchor so I could angle one in the pantry, I put one in the metal utility room door, I put one just inside the garage passage door. All three lights work well, and the motion sensor makes them incredibly convenient. The seller went out of their way to make sure I was satisfied, and I feel that I can now recommend this product to others because of the customer service provided.

The staircase leading down to our basement is a dark zone. We had a motion light there before but it ended up breaking and it had been on my list of things to replace. I had purchased the previous one from Lowes and went back to see if they had the same one and for the life of me I couldn't find it! I forgot about the issue for about a week and while browsing Amazon I saw some advertised - these guys - and decided to try them out. I'm super impressed with the little lights. I admit I did have some reservations because 1. they're pretty cheap and 2. there are 3 of them. I love them though! They're bright, small and compact, and they have a magnet on the back, which I didn't realize they had. They do come with 3 adhesive patches to apply them to non-magnetic surfaces though. I have one on the stairs, the OG issue, one in our small dark coat closet, and the last in the cabinet under the sink in the kitchen. Plus, it has a warranty! So unlike its predecessor, I will be able to replace these guys without worry. TOTALLY RECOMMEND.

Worst battery backup, lasts only 2 days even while sensor turns it on so basically 15 mnts approx

Doesn’t work well sensor is ineffective and inconsistent.
