I bought a few different types of tap lights to try around the house. These ended up being my favorite. What I like:
9 LEDs with no dark areas in the beam. I tried another brand and the beam wasn't solid like this one. I think it is because they spaced out their LEDs. This light is much better and has a nice solid beam.
The light beam is bright
Solid feel. They are made of plastic, but have a nice solid feel to them. Other lights I tried felt cheap.
They slide off of their mount. You can use the adhesive to stick the light up or you can mount the light with screws. Either way, you are mounting a plate. The light slides onto the plate. You can slide it off to remove the batteries. The batteries are not exposed when you do this; you still have to rotate the back of the light to get to the battery compartment.
Light is self contained when not mounted. I love this I can slide the light off the mount and use it as a flashlight without having to worry about batteries falling out. I've used is as a flashlight as many times as I've used it as a tap light (I didn't expect this but it has been VERY useful)
The adhesive WORKS. There are so many that don't which leads to light falling and breaking. So this is a big deal to me.
Cons
I was looking for a smaller footprint. This version with 9 LEDs is almost 4 inches wide.

I placed one on each side of each shelf of my pantry cabinet. They light up quite clearly, they are well made and so far, they stick really well to the wood of the walls. Will order 2 more sets for the other pantry cabinet. I will most likely purchase more in the future because I keep finding spaces for such lighting. Really nice!Update: It has been more than 2 mo's since I installed these lights in my pantries using the stickers that were provided and they are still sticking! I haven't made any holes in my wood at all. If I ever have problems with them falling off, I will use the new sticky pastes that are on the market these days. So, don't worry about holes you may have to make, there are alternatives. But so far, these have worked beautifully and I am still extremely happy with this purchase.

This product is a wall-mounted night light, and you will have to mount it with hardware. If you're okay with all that, then go for it.I tried to use one as a supplement for the conventional lighting in my bathroom. That was a no go. These taplights create the same kind of light that a cheapo flashlight would. It's bright enough to let you walk down a dark stairwell without slipping and breaking your neck, but I (perhaps naively) expected more.
Then I tried to use it as an over-the-sink light for when I didn't want to turn on the main kitchen light. That worked okay, but the adhesive only stuck for about a day before it fell right in front of me into a pool of dish water. Yes, I followed the instructions and properly cleaned and dried the surface before applying.
So there you go. It's a modest hardware-mounted flashlight.
