RiteLite Wireless Twelve LED Under Cabinet Light #LPL700

This product's description was pretty sketchy but I went ahead and ordered three of them, hoping they would work out for a display case project I was working on. To get an idea of how long the batteries would last, I set up a test using a photographic light meter. I opened one light and and inserted 6 fresh AAA batteries. After only three hours on high, the light output had dropped by 75%! At that light level this unit would have been useless for my needs, not to mention the number of batteries I would go through. Product returned.

I ordered two of these lights to use in my newly installed bedroom closets. One was placed under a shelf to provide light to a shelf and drawers below, and another was placed on a rear panel of the closet to light a larger area. They work well, although are not quite as bright as I would have liked. They do provide just enough illumination to be able to discern different colored pants, tops, drawer contents, etc., however, which is really all I needed.

I had to change out the hook and loop fasteners that were provided for a more "industrial strength" type, as the lights fell off the panels of my closets a few times using the H&L fasteners which came with the units. They now seem to be permanently affixed and I wouldn't hesitate to order more of these lights for other closet-type applications where no other light source exists. They also look nicer than some of the other closet lighting fixtures I've seen. Lastly, I like that they don't automatically turn off after a short time they stay on until you turn them off at the switch.

I'm quite disappointed in this light. The illumination is weak. Instead of using the screws to under-mount this light, I chose to use the supplied adhesive strips. Regrettably, the strips don't hold the light up for more than a few hours. All in all, I wouldn't recommend this light and am quite disappointed with my purchase.

I needed something to put under my new cabinets in my breakfast room without running new wiring, installing a wall switch, etc. This little puppy fit the bill quite nicely. The three independently-pivoting light heads allowed me to "focus" the down-lighting where I wanted it... one light pointed toward a piece of framed art against the wall in the center; the other two lights pointing down and slightly angled to highlight the items on the shelf below.

I do think it's a little bit pricey (thus, the 4 stars instead of 5), but all in all, it's worth it! Since I don't turn it on very often, it will take several years before the cost of replacing the batteries will come anywhere near what it would have cost for installing new electrical wiring.

A very minor criticism is that there is not much difference between the two brightness settings (the "low" setting was actually a bit too bright for my particular situation). That said, if you need something for accent lighting in an unwired area, I highly recommend giving this light a try.

I have a glass top Computer desk with a slide out keyboard tray. I tried a few different gooseneck desktop lamps to light the keyboard at night so I wouldn't have to use the room's main light. I wasn't happy with any of them. I kept getting the AC cords of the lamps tangled up with the telephone cords and different system cables.

I ordered this light and problem solved. The velcro holds the unit quit well to the bottom of the glass desktop where it will light up the keyboard for night time use in the dark. The ON/OFF switch is conveniently located so you can easily turn light off while using the mouse and not typing. The Hi-beam is a little too bright and glares off my keyboard, but the low-beam is just right.
