Works well
Our old house had two LED strips that plugged into outlets so we would flip two switches to turn them on in the evening and shut them off at night. But the strip would not work in the new house because the cabinets are different heights and depths. I paid $12 for each rechargeable light so $24 per two pack. I bought just 2 lights to make sure we liked them then ordered 10 more. We have used them for a month and like them; brightness is good; very easy to install; some reviews complained about the mount falling off but not an issue (maybe they did not put them on correctly); i set one light to max brightness and it lasted 10 hours; yes it’s a pain to turn on 12 switches every evening but that only takes 30 seconds; we end up charging 3-4 lights each day so I bought a “MaxLax USB Charger Station,10-Port 50W/10A” for $12 so there’s enough ports to also charge two phones and other gadgets.Install: Cabinets are wood but rather than use the screws to mount the plates I stuck the sticky side of the plates to the wood. After you remove the plastic from the two mounts, put the mounts on the back of the light (light is held to mounts by a magnet) with the sticky side up. Then get the light in place under the cabinet and push up on the whole thing- light with mounts attached, and the mounts will stick. Do not try to attach mounts without the light because it’s impossible to line them up correctly. I wanted each light two inches from the front edge of the cabinet so every time I stuck my hand under there the switch would be in the same place. I taped a 2 inch scrap of wood under the cabinet and mounted the light right next to it- that also kept the lights straight. After the first light I did not even bother with the tape- I just held the block in place then smushed the mounts to the cabinet. After they are charged, I put them back under the cabinet with the switch always on the right side so i do not have to guess which end to look for the switch on.Specs: Lights are 10 inches long and 8 inches of that is the LEDs. They have a low profile so you do not see them under the cabinet. When we found we had to charge the lights every few days (we were hoping for once a week) I looked into the 1800 mAh spec which is some measure of the battery, and I found similar lights with up to 5,000 mAh. But they had the exact same “lasts up to 8 hours on max brightness.” I think because they had more LEDs or put out more light- the battery was better but it did not extend the max time before needing a charge. I finally found a light about the same size with a 4,200 mAh battery that lasts 20 hours but it’s $20.So the drawbacks are turning on and off so many switchs and having to charge them. But it only took a couple minutes to install one light- I installed all 12 in less than an hour. I guess I could have bought one 20 inch light for the bigger cabinets and had three less switches, but these were a good price. These would be perfect for use in a pantry, closet, over the utility sink in the laundry room- not really bright enough to put over a workbench, but if you set them to auto, every time you open the pantry door or use the sink in the laundry room you can see what you’re doing. And with the light on auto it should only need to be charged once or twice a month.

Fantastic set at a good price
Got my set on apparently a Black Friday deal — they’ve gone up since then — but for the price I paid it was WELL worth it. These work fantastic, super easy to install, and the single biggest selling point for me was that they’re rechargeable. I’ve had mine several weeks now and have only had to recharge them once (I noticed other users saying they do it weekly?) Mine are in the kitchen, one under the upper cabinets, shining light on my primary workspace, the other under the stove hood, shining light on the stove. My stove has a light, but I find it too bright for every day use, and I love that these come on only when they sense motion, go out when I leave the area.As others have noted, these are VERY sensitive — even with the one tucked up behind the lip of my upper cabinet, it still somehow senses when I’m in the vicinity. I’ve noticed at night it also senses when the cat comes in to nibble from her food dish, it’s now lighting her way, which I’m sure she appreciates, as much as a cat can appreciate anything.GREAT set — if the price was still the same (I paid about $18) I’d buy another set..or two! Maybe next Black Friday.

I absolutely love these rechargeable motion-sensor lights! No wires and the magnetic design make them so convenient. I placed one in my dark front closet, attaching it to the metal wire shelfâworks perfectly. A simple, effective way to brighten up small spaces!

Sensitive motion detector, easy installation, easy recharging and adjustable light intensity make these under-cabinet lights an indispensable addition to my kitchen. The only critique is that the battery charge is a little shorter than expected, so regular recharging is necessary.

I love the look of closet lights but refuse to pay for wiring. Iâve tried so many types of auto lights over the years, and these are absolutely the best ones. Easy installation, rechargeable, and easy to remove to charge. 5 light brightness sings. Iâll be buying more for sure!

Good lighting, no more replacing batteries.
I purchased these lights for under counter lighting. They were easy to install with the self stick tape and they light up well when motion is detected. I would prefer they didnât turn on during the day which they do even though I donât have a dark kitchen but if they donât run down the battery too fast I will be ok with it. Itâs too soon to tell yet since they were just recently installed.I like that the light isnât as narrow as my old magnetic lights and that I donât have to take out batteries, recharge them and reinstall them.This product came with a USB charging cable but did not come with the charging block. Not an issue since I have more than one charging block. They charge fast and the charge indicator light displays well.Overall Iâm happy with my purchase.

Great for closets
Weâve tried a few different models for motion-activated battery-powered lights in our closets, and this is our favorite. We now have about a dozen in total.Weâre using the warm white, longer models. I love that they charge using USB-C, and the LED clearly shows red or green to illustrate if it is charging or fully charged.They are very slim, which is great for occupying little space in a closet. The adhesive magnet mount is very useful, easy to stick the light onto a place but detach and reattach it easily when taking off for charging.The light itself has nice color temperature, shines brightly, and produces a quality solid light, none of that flickering strobing stuff from cheaper LEDs.The battery lasts sufficiently long such that I canât remember being bothered by having to charge them frequently (but again weâre using them in closets, not as kitchen under lighting or something where it would be used more frequently).The only downside is the cost. These are not cheap, especially to have a couple of pairs in a closet, but the quality of the light and ease of install and use make them worthwhile.

RECHARGEABLE; great light; on, off, motion sensor auto; easy install;
RECHARGEABLE, NO ELECTRICAL HARDWIRING; great even light; optional on, off, motion sensor auto; easy install; reordered extras to provide consistent and even lighting under each cabinet unit of varying sizes/widths. BEST UNDERCABINET LIGHTING I’ve tried. Best of all, the magnetic “adhesion” makes them easy to take down and recharge as needed. Best to fully charge before installing. Adds a finished and classy look to your kitchen and soothing ambiance when all other lighting off.
