Sylvania DOT-it Self-Adhesive Bright White LED Light, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These little "stick-on" lights ARE exactly as advertised: nice, bright light, compact enough to fit nearly anywhere, inexpensive and they stick onto just about any surface, with the added advantage of being easily removeable. I absolutely love mine and I got at least 10 (they make nice little gifts; kids love them as much as adults). They also run a fairly long time. Each of mine came close to 100 hours before needing battery replacement.

As wonderful as these are, they do have their limits...but I think they are pretty minor. For one thing, you have to remove the light from the wall to replace the batteries but it DOES restick (just as the package says it does).

Because of this, I would NOT use this someplace where I needed everyday task lighting. I'd be inclined to get inexpensive rope or under-cabinet lighting for areas that needed lighting for everyday cooking or meal prep.

But it iswonderful in areas that are used infrequently, perhaps once or twice a month. It would also be fine for a dark area of a closet, as long as you turned it on just long enough to get the item you needed and then turned it off. That way, you could limit the number of times you remove the light from the wall and maintain battery life for as long as possible. Think of this as similar to a "pay as you go" phone - something that is convenient when you need it but not something you want to use for hours at a time. We have one near our water heater and our furnace (so we can change the filter without holding a flashlight).

I've also put mine in a winter closet, my regular clothes closet, an unlit coat closet (which came without a built-in light, so the stick on light was far cheaper than hiring an electrician to put in an electrical fixture), a cabinet that holds "special occasion" dishes and accessories and in other places where I wouldn't be likely to use it all the time but do need light on a regular basis...but not every hour of the day. As noted above, some are in places I don't even use every day. So far, so good...nearly a year and still going strong.

So far, I've changed the batteries in my lights at least 3 times and they have all adhered to the wall again - and stayed there. I figure I've gotten nearly 300 hours of use out of each one for about 10 bucks apiece (not counting the cost of 2 battery changes). The convenience and the ability to have TWO free hands and not having to hold a flashlight makes this well worth the 10 bucks. Admittedly, you could get one of those clip-on lights that attach to a hat or on a special band that goes around your head...but I always hated to have to retrieve those from the storage cloest, garage or whatever area we had them. We do have those as well as the clip-on lights and each has their uses.

By the way, if the adhesive on these lights eventually does stop sticking, there are plenty of tapes and products that could solve this problem, so it isn't a major inconvenience, just something to be aware of.

I do hope a less expensive version comes out, one where the batteries can be changed without removing the light from the wall. But for now, this is as good as it gets - as far as I'm concerned.
