4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for locations without electrical service, October 18, 2008

I bought two for under my kitchen cabinets. I get up very early and don't want bright lights, just enough to make coffee. Some features that may not be apparent from the product description:
a) It comes with velcro and magnetic mounts
b) It has a contact switch - just brush your fingertip to turn on and off
c) It comes with (cheap) batteries but battery life is excellent

The only con is that the two-sided velcro tape (sticky on one side, velcro on the other) is pretty poor. The sticky mounts would come unstuck overnight. I went to TruValue and bought Velcro brand velcro and it works fine.

I'm buying more for other locations and to make sure I have spares.

It is now 2011 and they are still doing what I need. I have knocked them off with appliances without breaking and they get steam from the coffee pot with no problems.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not much light. There are better options. Switch stopped working., November 22, 2010

Despite having three LEDs, this doesn't put out much light. It seems quite a bit less than a non-LED flashlight with 2 D cell batteries. The light is only about seven inches long and uses three AAA batteries. It has a touch switch which you just barely touch with your finger to turn it on or off. However, you need to touch it with a bare finger for the switch to work. A gloved finger won't operate the switch. UPDATE: The switch stopped working on my light after about a year of infrequent use. Had to throw the light out.

The center plastic tube that contains the LEDs does swivel from side-to-side in either direction about 30 degrees to direct the light.

If you want a brighter LED battery light to stick somewhere, Energizer makes a round push light called the "Hardcase LED Area Light" (about $11). It is about 4" in diameter and heavier, but it puts out much more light (50 lumens) and lasts a long time (31 hours with 3 AA alkaline batteries). The Energizer light has a magnetic base, and it also comes with a metal plate that you can screw into to a wall or can mount on something with 3M two-sided mounting tape.

This is an attractive light with a capacitance switch. I use it in my home entertainment cabinet over my turntable, and it provides bright white light about 2 feet under the light, which is suitable to read a record label or jacket or to check for dust on the needle or other problems.

It looks good and provides serviceable light. I have not seen any drawbacks to its design or function in the past three weeks.
