These ceiling/wall lights are a bit larger than I expected for the number of LEDs they have. They give out good light as would be expected from LEDs. The housing takes up much of the size of the lights. The reason I purchased these lights was to provide lighting on my sailboat, which would save the sailboat's "house battery bank," which brings up my biggest dissapointment. Size may not be important for some. That said, I wanted to have one light in the Captain's stateroom, one light in the crews stateroom, and one light in the main salon Head (bathroom). Turns out that pushing any remote on/off switch controls "all" the lights that are present on the sailboat even if they are more than 30' from each other. So, if someone uses the head at night, it turns on the lights in each of the staterooms as well. There should be some way, aside from uninstalling batteries, to disable lights you don't want to turn on at times. So, I'm relegated to just using one of these lights on my sailboat, bummer.

I suppose this challenge would be the same in a home with lights in different rooms, if those rooms are close together, such as a hall closet and a closet in a guest room. They both turn on with either on/off switch. So, if a guest is sleeping, with her closet door open, that light will shine in her face when someone else turns on the hall closet light. Bummer.

Perhaps one upside is that you can place the remotes in different locations and control the light(s) at, say, entrances and exits, I suppose.

Other than these issues, the lights give out good light, however, I'm not sure how long the batteries will last. In the final analysis, if you are just buying one light, or can keep them out of range of each other's remotes, than this would get 4 stars from me, as the size, due to the housing, is quite large.

It would be great if there was some way to isolate the lights on the remote control switch. That would override my need for smaller lights and I would give 5 stars.

To call this a light is a stretch...basically the same amount of light you would get from a 4watt night light!
NOT worth the money...we are looking for wireless lighting for a bathroom shower area that is poorly lit with nowhere to hardwire, obviously these will not cut it...

This is pretty much a waste of money. It provides very little light--certainly not enough to light an entire room. Plus the battery required for the switch is not a standard size. I had to go to a battery store just to find it. Big let down here.

The purpose for getting this product was to make a lit area in our hallway that is very dark at night. The hallway had only one small bulb at the top of the stairway that only lit the very top of the staircase but not the bottom of the staircase which could be dangerous when walking down after dark. I bought two just in case one was not enough and now there is plenty of light to see the entire ground when walking downstairs. The best part was there was no wires or complicated installation. This is a good investment.

I purchased this light a few weeks ago..the first one came in dead on arrival..So i tried a second one..and it works great..The remote is built to take a 12v battery..something unusual and not usually seen too much in the electronics field..The good side of this light is that it is wireless and you can mount it pretty much anywhere within 20ft once you have some good strong velcro patches...The not so great side of this product is that it will require you to purchase more highhat lights for you to light up a 10x10 room..maybe 3 more..this light is good for maybe small boats with a cabin or possibly and regular standard size closet...overall i gave it three stars.. i think if they use a more powerful leds or mabe halogen..this light would be much better...But so far there arent too many like it on the market... so for [...] bucks..i think its worth it..

I like the product, but the only negative comment I have to offer is if something goes wrong with the remote there is no way to turn the light on/off.

I PURCHASED FIVE OF THESE LIGHTS. EACH ONE NOT ONLY REQUIRES FOUR AA BATTERIES, EACH ALSO REQUIRES A SPECIALTY BATTERY WHICH WAS VERY PRICEY. AFTER PURCHASING THE REQUIRED BATTERIES, NONE OF THE LIGHTS WORKED. I TRIED OVER AND OVER WITH NO SUCCESS. THEY WERE RETURNED, BUT HAVE TO SAY THAT THIS PURCHASE WAS AN ENTIRE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.

This is a piece of crap! Do not buy!! The light is VERY dim. You get what you pay for.

May be my expectations were high , but I was disappointed with this product. It really didn't provide all that much illumination.Sierra Tools JB5571 Ceiling/Wall Light with Remote

I bought this for our back door entry. With the high ceiling it works great! I decided to buy 3 more for our closets.
