Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We have a very dark closet in our hallway that needed some light in it. The thought of running wire, boxes and messing with drywall made me cringe so I searched for alternatives. There were a few other well reviewed options on Amazon but people seemed disappointed with the amount of light output. This was the only one that quantified the light output of 100 lumens which is pretty good for a battery powered LED light. Installation is very easy. Be aware that this light takes 4 C cell batteries. Thankfully I had some on hand. The batteries make the unit too heavy for mounting tape...velcro might be okay. However I opted for the supplied screws and anchors. This makes me confident the light won't come crashing down on my head. Now for the bad. Because the light uses a fish-eye type of lens to distribute the light it causes a strange prism effect. The light itself is white but at the edges the lens causes it to be yellow. I uploaded a picture to show what I'm talking about. It's not the end of the world but it's not something I expected. Beyond this small hiccup the light works great. It comes on when the door is opened turning off about 30 seconds later. Given the choice between this and a wired light alternative I'll take this one all day. It only took 10 minutes to install. That's much nicer than cutting drywall, running wire, mounting a new light, patching, mudding, sanding and painting. *** UPDATE *** Soon after installing the light it seemed to be constantly on. A few test revealed it would come on as soon as it turned off. This was due to some older batteries I used. Replacing the batteries with new ones returned it to normal operation. It also made me realize just how bright the light actually is. With newer batteries it's about twice as bright as before which is great. It still has the strange prism effect, but lights up the closet even better now. So if your light is acting strange, try replacing the batteries to see if it fixes the issue, it did for me.
