Why is it a good deal? 💰

Not only are these discounted by 45%, the extra on-page 5% coupon makes this the lowest price we've ever seen. Since you're getting a pair of them, you're really paying only around $9 each — way less than having an electrician install lights.

Why do I need this? 🤔

Under-cabinet lighting is a fantastic kitchen upgrade; it's perfect for when you want a midnight snack or are getting breakfast started before your eyes are completely open. These lights can detect motion up to 10 feet away and have 30 LEDs that produce a warm light up to 200 lumens — more than enough to see by, but without that "cold" quality that fluorescent lighting has.

They're powered by a 1,000mAh battery that can recharged through a USB cable. One charge will yield about three hours of continuous use, or an estimated three to four weeks in motion-sensing mode. They can also work as stairway lights; you could even rig one up inside your car's trunk.

The built-in magnets make these easy to install — they'll attach to practically any metal surface. If you don't have metal in your cabinets, the included adhesive tape makes for press-and-play installation.

What reviewers say 💬

When over 22,000 people rely on a product to help navigate around their home, we start to wonder what we're missing.

Pros 👍

Ease of mounting + long life = happy customers. "I installed one in my kitchen pantry and one in the utility closet," shared one homeowner. "I am in my pantry on a daily basis and I have only had to charge the light one time in the past 8 months. I have not had to charge the utility closet light to date. I have both lights set on the motion sensor setting, and they work exactly as expected. My takeaway after owning for 8 months: Easy installation, fast charging, bright light, long battery life and great adhesion."

Another fan raved about how quickly these changed their kitchen's vibe: "Instantly enhanced the ambiance of my kitchen. I love not having to use the bright overhead lights, and I love that these are rechargeable and detachable. Great value for the price. Very easy 'install' (because it's like a sticker). Cannot recommend these lights more."

One couple said these lights helped light up their workspace: "We needed more light for each of our desks, and these are perfect."

Cons 👎

Most users experienced no trouble, but one cautioned to keep the included charger on-hand. "These lights were a great purchase. ... At night when my dog walks into the kitchen, the cabinet light activates right away," said one shopper. "The only downside is that, as far as I can tell, you have to use the USB-C charging cable that comes with the lights. I tried using another USB C charger and it wouldn’t take a charge. All in all, I’m still very pleased with the product."

This user warned that placement is important. "My only complaint is that they are STICKY. Super-stuck to the wall, so make sure you place them correctly."
