Brilliant Evolution Wireless LED Puck Light | Works with Remote Control | Under Cabinet, Closet Light | Battery Powered | Under Counter Lighting (Pack of 1)

These lights have changed the way I feel about my kitchen and life and bedroom closet on a fundamental level. Combined with a buttload of rechargeable batteries, they’re an affordable, life-changing force to be reckoned with.I live in a "cozy" old house that has a "quirky" "vintage" kitchen with "basically one" light in it, although my wife believes horrible garish overhead ceiling lights are acceptable to turn on and use for lighting, which they aren't. I'd rather not see shadows of rotting fly carcasses projected onto my possessions while I'm trying to eat my Dinty Moore over the sink like normal.So, for me, the hood-fan lights above our modern 70s electric coil stove (I'm told electricity is really catching on) are the only functional lighting the kitchen has...until now!Hot diggity, for 35 buckaroons per six pack, I turned my built-before-electricity black hole of a kitchen into a living-beyond-my-means, upper-lower-middle-class hipster coffee snob's wet dream...affordably! No longer are the beauty of my Chemex Hand-Blown series pourover, Baratza Virtuoso conical burr grinder, imported Hario coffee scale, and Bonavita digitally-controlled water kettle lost to the shadows of unappreciative dank corners. Without my new lights, might as well be a Mr. Coffee over there. Nobody could tell anyway.I put them under the cabinets, behind the weird recessed overhang in the corner above my various coffee-snob paraphernalia, and over the garbage can and decorative hand-painted owl key-hanger. They really give the kitchen that Modern Family-esque air of modernfamodernity.I also put one over the basement stairs so I can finally see my organic-flaxseed-seasoned cast-iron collection in the correct 3000 Kelvin twinkle, and one in my bedroom closet, so I no longer struggle to see and pick out one of the two shirts that I wear!They come with screws, but screw that (PUN INTENDED!). They also helpfully come with 3M Destroy-Yo-Paint sticky pads that preclude one from having to waste the battery on one's cordless drill to gouge destruction holes in one's landlord's property. They stick like the dickens. Quite convenient.Did I mention how bright they are? With the new LED pucks turned on, our kitchen now boasts, and I'm not making this up, 12,000 gigabytes of light! Astronauts can see us from the International Space Station! It's really good to know that, if our lights go out, NASA will notice and beam down their bravest Storm Troopers to assist us.The remote control makes it incredibly easy to waste over twenty minutes dimming and toggling the lights in a silent house like a moron child with pretend telekinesis via his Magical Pointy On-Off Phaser. Pew pew pew! On! Off! Dimmmmmm briiiiIIIGGHTT DIMMmmm briiiGGHHTT OFF! OFF OFF OFF! BAM ON! BAM ON! PEW PEW PEW etc. What a convenient feature.All in all, they make this dank old shitkitchen feel much more modern and expensive, and they're cheap as hell and don't require any wiring or hole-drilling or any of that other stuff I'm never going to do. And they're remote controlled, dimmable, and very bright. Oh, and you can click them on and off individually by hand when you just need to, say, find that last can of Dinty Moore in the dark.They are battery powered, and batteries die, and LEDs eat batteries. So the reviewers complaining about how quickly they die apparently thought those three little cylinders inside them were Wireless Electricity Receivers from a world where Nicola Tesla didn't die penniless and heartbroken. Nah bro, they're weak-ass batteries. So I would implore you future purchasers to also buy a load of Eneloop or equivalent NiMH rechargeable AAs, because 1. the batteries these pucks come with are abysmal, B. normal alkaline batteries cause these lights to dim over time (namely, a couple days), and 4. why not save the planet and junk? Also don't expect batteries to be magic, you ingrate.I love these lights with my whole being, and I highly recommend them for spicing up a dumbly-lit existence and room. At the very least, they make me feel slightly more well-off when I'm standing half-naked in my kitchen, eating cold Dinty Moore straight out of the can, bathed in the sparkling glow of LED under-counter puck lights. This must be how rich snobs feel.

The media could not be loaded. I have been trying to find a battery operated lighting solution for some statues I have displayed on top of an entertainment unit. Since multiple electronics are all plugged into the same outlet, and it's behind the cabinet, I can't plug in any lamps. I tried a touch lamp but it didn't provide enough light. So - these LED under cabinet lights.First, they worked right out of the package. Every light already had batteries (woo!); I only needed to remove the plastic strip inside to get them on. They are very easy to open with a slight twist. The remote also worked immediately after it's plastic strip was removed. No programming, no "installation. I removed the plastic and hit the buttons and ALL of the lights responded.Battery life is going to depend on your usage. I only plan to use these a couple hours in the evening so I expect they will last pretty well. And, with the timer option (30 - 120 minutes), I don't even have to remember to turn them off. I do intend to buy rechargeable batteries at some point, however.The lights are very bright! They illuminate well and the dimming function is a nice option. When I had them on the counter top, they all responded to the remote at the same time. However, once they were separated along the 11 foot wide entertainment center, I had to use the remote on a couple at a time. No biggie, just something to keep in mind.At first, I thought the price was a little high ($35 for 6 as of this writing) but after receiving them I have to say I am completely satisfied. These are so nice, I am going to order more to help light some Detolf displays I have elsewhere.

I can't complain about these little tap lights.I shopped quite a bit, on Amazon, I had a small budget and a big lighting problem in my kitchen at the counter level.After 6 years I was fed up and didn't care what I bought, as long as I could see what the stuff in the pan on the stove looked like (was it cooked? hopefully not burnt!).I found these. I would not have bought them had someone not posted a really beautiful picture of them in their kitchen! What a difference it made! I'm a big interior decor person (lighting is my Kryptonite in a good way). It can make or break ANY area of ANY home or commercial building.I liked what these were and what they offered!They were easy to install (my 16 y/o son had them up perfectly in less than 5 mins and there were 6 of them), they are battery-powered (there is a drawback to this as many reviews explained and I bought anyway...but let me explain my compromise / problem solving resolution) and they were affordable! More affordable than anything else I would have bought or considered, they have a REMOTE! Okay, for the price, who does not want a remote? The reason I like this is that I always turn off lights when I leave the room (yeah I'm like that). The remote has timers! Set it and forget it and save on batteries (see you save on electricity too). The remote allows you to dim the light! My other favorite part! On/Off, timers 15, 20, 60, 120 minutes. This feature is great because I get my coffee when it's dark out... I turn the lights on dimly ( I'm not a morning person)... later, by the time I'm working in my office the sun has come up and I don't need the lights so they turn off for me!Great budget conscious solution to a need for lighting quick and without wiring.Now to address the battery thing. I was hoping that the review I read about batteries being chewed up quickly was not as accurate...well, it is. You will not get long-term hours out of these and you will spend more in batteries than you have on any car you've ever purchased, however, I have the perfect solution! We are a battery family; remotes, game unit remotes, etc... so we stock RECHARGABLES! I got smart and after the first two sets of batteries died in less than two months I decided to pull out the rechargeable. Worked so much more conveniently and cost-efficiently! If you get these, do yourself a favor and go buy two small chargers for the wall and double the set of batteries you need for these (36) and just swap them out when they become dim. Works for me.My lights are on now and I'm loving the happy mood they offer me, plus the task lighting I get from them! Remember they aren't big, they aren't super in power, they are halogen I think which makes them clear color and nice for illuminating the area, but they are a quick fix on a budget and easy to twist on and off for battery replacement.For the money, they do the trick for me! I've included a before and after of my stove area. Again it's not precise really bright task lighting but it's better than those ugly florescent double-sided tape plug-in ones that I refuse to put in and it's affordable. It's fun and especially great for an ambiance lighting and notches up my little galley kitchen just fine! :)
