Review on 🖼️ Rite Lite LPL601XLDBZRC Battery Operated LED Picture Light, Dorado Bronze - Perfect Illumination for Your Artwork! by Brian Cheney

I made some wrong assumptions about this; Since it was my guess, it's my fault. The biggest was that I wanted it to be attached to the frame it's illuminating, so I assumed it was. Not correct. It is attached to the wall. Two very small screws are included for this purpose, but I have drywall and they would fall out almost immediately. If you have drywall or similar, you'll need some anchors to attach the supplied screws or your own screws. I have a box of leftover screws, washers, anchors etc and found what I needed. Being a rat in the pack is sometimes an advantage. The blister pack it came in has to be one of the strongest I've seen, it's made out of very thick plastic. I used heavy scissors, a utility knife, and OpenIt! instrument and yet said a few words that would be inappropriate for a family product review. Another suggestion, not such a big deal: I figured it would act like a lamp on a gooseneck, adjustable so I could change the angle of the arc. between base and lamp. It's not, it's a solid tube with a solid arc. On the other hand, it is relatively easy to install. The part that screws to the wall can be used as a template to mark the two holes where the screws should go as this part has a built in bubble level - very cool idea. They also include a paper template that can be attached to the wall, but with a built in bubble level on the actual part I have no idea why they messed around with the paper template. Once you have this back plate attached to the wall, the lamp simply slides over it. It's very easy to slide it up and down to change batteries. I didn't fully tighten the screws that attach the back panel to the wall so I can easily remove them if needed. This requires three AA batteries. At least one reviewer mentioned that the battery drained quickly, so before I did anything else I put in three AA batteries freshly removed from the charger and powered them on. These are old, cheap, nameless, rechargeable batteries that have been used with a "dumb" (inefficient) charger for most of their lives. I left the light on at full power for 8.5 hours, then turned it off and left it overnight. The next morning it was still quite light, although you could tell that the batteries were getting a little tired. I assume those with rapid battery drain issues have a pattern bug. I haven't seen anything like this before. The remote control is powered by a button cell battery. You have to open the remote to remove the plastic strip to allow the battery to make contact, and as one reviewer noted, the screws are tiny. I mean a tiny jeweler's screwdriver. If you have an eyeglass repair kit at home, you can open it and peel off the plastic strip. Do this over a bowl, however, as the screws are so tiny that it's easy to lose them. Also watch out for a tiny white dome or bowl-shaped plastic object that can fall out in the process - it stretches across the back (inside the remote) of the knob you push (outside the remote) to turn it. Light goes off and on. This is for initial setup only. Replacing the battery isn't all that bad; You only have to deal with one tiny screw and for that you also need a set of eyeglass screwdrivers. The instructions say to (actually) use a coin or similar item. Once the remote worked, I found it so unreliable that I found it easier to just walk up to the lamp and hit the power button. If the remote is really important to you, remember that it looks and feels cheap and works like you would expect something cheap to do. One last complaint, and it relates more to my application than the product: LED lights are very directional, like eight little spotlights in a row. If you're looking to create a diffused glow over the object you're lighting, you may find that the light is too focused on certain areas instead of illuminating everything evenly. I was able to adjust the light to suit me both up close and across the room, and maybe I'll just make something out of nothing. Now you're wondering why I gave this four stars despite all the whining. Quite simply: price and WiFi. It's not museum quality gear, but for $30 you don't expect that either. It's understated and subtle, and doesn't say "cheap junk!" when you look at it (just don't show your guests that crappy remote or you'll never be invited to a garden club again). I bought this because I bought an item that looks boring without the light and stunningly beautiful with the light on (IMHO) and would buy this product again. Just don't think you can get a $300 flashlight for $30. However, you get a very reasonable price.
