Review of Lumen 3 Pk LED High Output Spotlights w/ Remote Control

Customer Ratings:

Pretty nice lights; light weight, nice looking, and pretty bright. We needed to light a big painting on a high wall. Stuck all three in a row on the adjacent vaulted ceiling with the included self-adhesive hook & loop pads in about 10 min., and we keep the remote in a nearby drawer (it must be aimedd at the lights to work). Some pluses not mentioned on the Amezon page: a full set of Duracell batteries are included, and, you can press and hold the remote button, or buttons on the lights themselves, to dim them for softer light. ...UPDATE (after two weeks): The bad news: one of the adhesive pads let go at 3 a.m. and the sound of the light bouncing off our coffee table scared us half to death! The good news: light still works fine after a 15 foot fall onto a slate coffee table! I'll add a screw or two (provided) to each base. The lights still snap off their base easily for changing batteries.

These lights are stylishly gorgeous. The polished metal makes the lights look very expensive. The lamps have a swivel base so that you can point them where you want. Each light takes 3 AA batteries and the remote takes 3 AAA batteries. The remote works with all three lamps. However, if you aim the receiving window of a lamp away from the receiving window of the other lamps, you can "disable" that light working with the remote. Each light truly has high output. I have two on the ceiling above my office desk and at night they adequately light my work area. I would not read a book by their light, but I can easily see my desk and any working notes that I have scribbled. Each light comes with an adhesive pad, a mounting template (very nice touch!) and two mounting screws. The adhesive pad is very strong, I used it to determine if I liked the lights. The template makes drilling holes for the mounting screws very easy to do. Overall, this is one of my better purchases and I highly recommend these spotlights.

Best Deals for Lumen 3 Pk LED High Output Spotlights w/ Remote Control

The house we bought a couple of years ago was built in the mid-1960s, the tiled shower stall was dark to say the least, the bathroom lights barely made a dent in the dark. Bought a set of the Lumen LED High output spotlights and put them up on the ceiling of the shower stall -no more dark cave. Mounted the remote switch next to the shower door, a quick tap lights all the lights, a tap upon exiting turns them off -great product

Honest reviews on Lumen 3 Pk LED High Output Spotlights w/ Remote Control

I just purchased these lights and like them so far. I'm not wild about them, but they're decent enough. I'm actually using them outdoors underneath my deck to light up some steps, so I'll post and let everyone know when they die.

Pros:

Bright

Comes with all batteries (and it's a lot of batteries)

Price

Cons:

IR technology with a small sensor on each unit. You have to point pretty directly at a spot the size of a quarter on each light to get it to turn off/on. I'd really have preferred RF so I could turn them on/off a lot easier.

Big remote. Why is this remote so huge? Holding it, I feel like an old person who should be in a Life Alert commercial trying to reach my comically large phone that's just inches away from my dying grasp. Seriously, the remote is about the size of a half of a deck of playing cards and twice as thick. Totally unnecessary.

If track lighting is a little to costly for you (or if you just don't want to mess around with the electrical work), then I would highly recommend these little babies. They're light weight, battery powered, very easy to install, look nice and produce enough light to to either accent a low-lit room, spotlight a display piece, or illuminate total darkness (such as a small closet). As an added bonus, each light also has a dimmer and every set of three comes with a dual-frequency remote control. And as a further added bonus, the set here comes with all the batteries and mounting materials (screws and velcro adhesive). It even comes with paper mounting guides for the screw placement! All you need is a Phillip's screwdriver and/or a drill and you're good to go. Very high marks for ease of use and super fast set-up.

The only thing I didn't like about these LEDs is that they produce such super cold lighting (i.e., very BLUE). Something more neutral would have been much better. Also, since these are technically spotlights or "key lights," their illumination spread is entirely contingent upon how far they are set from the subject. This doesn't matter so much if you're using them to light a display (like a figurine or painting). But if you're trying give a room additional accent light, you'll have to place these lights very high up for them to blend. Otherwise, I would suggest simply bouncing them from a high wall.

But you can't beat these stand-alone LED lights for the price, and they will do just fine to fulfill many of your track light needs.
