The lights run on batteries so there’s no need to plug them in. However, the quality the give us doesn’t add up to the price we paid.
For one, 8 of the lights have magnets that need to be separated from the lights to make them work. The idea behind this is, you put the light on a door with the magnet next to it and, when the door is closed, the light stays off; when the door is opened, it comes on. The magnets need to be within an inch of the light. This just isn’t practical in many of the areas we would like to use them.
The sticky tape on the back of the lights also isn’t that strong. I have two lights in my pantry. Each morning, I find one on the floor. I can keep the light up if I use clear duct tape. But, that dims the light so much, it isn’t worth having it in the pantry any more.
I spent $15 on 10 lights; $1.50 each. Considering only two have worked successfully for us, I feel like I was ripped off. If you’re looking to light areas of your house, these are definitely not worth your money.
This is not the solution. Buy an economical light bulb that takes around 1 minute to fully light up. This will take care of your eyes in the middle of the night.
LED lights are very durable and very energy efficient, but it seems that the lights you use are of very poor quality, since most of them do not work. You might be able to use touch sensors instead of magnets so that your doors would automatically turn on the lights.
