Update: I still absolutely love these lights and now have 3 sets. I came back to order another set. Now concerning battery life: It is not as good as I had hoped. While the lights I have inside closets aren't used very often, they are still functioning. But the lights that are on several times a day need to be charged at least once a week, if not more. Because the lights are attached with magnets, it is not difficult to take them down to charge. I just wish they lasted longer. The 4th set I am ordering today will go in my bottom kitchen cabinets. These lights have made my life so much "brighter". :) I received these yesterday and couldn't wait to put them up. After charging all of them, I put them under the cabinets in my kitchen, replacing old fluorescent fixtures that blew out bulbs yet again. These are absolutely wonderful! As soon as I walk into the kitchen, they come on and as long as I am in the kitchen, they stay on. And as soon as I leave, they turn off. Awe... no more fumbling for the button on the fluorescent lights, no more turning on the big overhead lights. I ordered 2 sets. I put the second set along the floor/wall of two hallways and two in a linen closet. I came back here to order another set that I plan to use in other cabinets. Open the door, and they come on! They came with a short USB cord for every light and two magnetic mounting strips for each as well. Just charge them, stick the magnetic strips on, and stick to wherever you want to put them. Easily detach them from the magnets to recharge. I can not attest to the battery life as of yet, as I just got them, but the motion detection is perfect, and they seem like good quality. The brightness will do just fine, and you can adjust the temperature of the light as well. An excellent purchase and investment in my opinion! Read more
Ordered the 5 pack and installed in my kitchen under cabinets and in pantry/closet. Have had for 2 months now. I do not use the remote as these were pretty much "set it and forget it" for me. Set them to warm light mode. As under cabinet lighting, they are fantastic. Responsive as I walk into the kitchen, stay on long enough, and if not, a wave of the hand (or any movement) triggers them back on. I was delighted that my oldest suggested that one be installed in our pantry which is reliant on whatever light is cast by the ceiling mounted kitchen light. Illuminates the entire pantry! Simply opening the door triggers the light without having to have remembered to flip the ceiling switch on opposite wall. At night (which comes early this time of year in the North), we are able to simply able to walk into the kitchen and the lights turn on automatically. Open the pantry to root around for snacks and its light turns on automatically. For regular kitchen duties of cleaning or cooking, they certainly enhance the ceiling lighting for better visibility right where you're working. On average, these have lasted 2 weeks before needing charging. That's a kitchen in a house with two teenagers (repetitive visits to the kitchen every day, aaallllll day) too! For what these are, their price point, and the fact that no electrical wiring is required to install, they are a 5 star product. Read more
**UPDATE** Customer service reached out and informed me I was not using the correct charger and got me straight. They are working great and I couldn’t be happier! **** Initially, it was a really great product. I love the options to change the hue. I love the option to either have it go with motion sensor or only motion sensor at night, but it only lasted about a week after a week. I recharged all of them and now it’s very sporadic and the charge only last a couple of hours. It didn’t even last an entire day before I had to charge it all over again. I will say that it does go off often in our kitchen so I understand having to recharge it frequently, but the initial charging lasted a week before I had to charge it and now it’s literally less than a day. When they are charged, it doesn’t stay in motion setting. It’s like I have to turn it off and turn it back on to re-trigger it to start working again, and I have to do that frequently throughout the day. Read more
