Revainrating 5 out of 5

Bright, cheap, makes you feel rich even when half naked and alone, comes with sticky pads

These lights have revolutionized the way I think about my kitchen, my life and my bedroom closet. even. Combined with a bunch of rechargeable batteries, they're an affordable, life-changing force to be reckoned with. I live in a "cozy" old house with a "quirky" "vintage" kitchen with "practically one" light. , although my wife thinks that horrible screaming ceiling lights can be turned on and used for lighting, but they aren't. I'd rather not see the shadows of decaying fly carcasses projected onto my stuff as I try to eat my Dinty Moore over the sink like I always do. I'm told that electricity really catches on) the only working light in the kitchen. I mean, the wet dream of an upper- and lower-middle-class coffee-snob hipster. Available! The beauty of my hand-blown Chemex series, Baratza Virtuoso cone grinder, Hario imported coffee scale and Bonavita digital kettle is no longer lost in the shadow of thankless wet corners. Without my new lights it would be like Mr. Coffee. At least no one could tell. I placed them under the cabinets, behind the odd recessed ledge in the corner above my various coffee snob paraphernalia, and above the trash can and decorative hand-painted owl keychain. They really add a modern family vibe to the kitchen. I also hung one over the stairs to the basement to finally see my collection of organic flaxseed flavored cast iron with the right 3000 Kelvin shimmer and another in my bedroom closet. So it's no longer difficult for me to see and choose between the two shirts I'm wearing! They also helpfully come with 3M Destroy-Yo-Paint adhesive pads that eliminate the need to waste a battery on a cordless drill to make destruction holes in a rental company's property. They stick like Dickens. Very comfortable. Did I mention how bright they are? With the new LED pucks, our kitchen now has, and I'm not imagining it, 12,000 gigabytes of light! Astronauts can see us from the International Space Station! It's very nice to know that when our lights go out, NASA will notice and send the most daring stormtroopers to help us. The remote control makes it incredibly easy to spend twenty-plus minutes dimming and switching lights in a quiet house like an idiot boy with feigned telekinesis with his magical pointed phaser. Pew Pew Pew! On the! Out of! Dimmmmmm briiiiGGGHTT DIMMmmmm briiiiGGHHT OFF! OFF OFF OFF! BAMM! BAMM! PEW PEW PEW etc. What a handy feature. All in all, they make that musty old crappy kitchen look a lot more modern and expensive, and they're cheap as hell and don't require wiring or drilling holes or anything. something I will never do. And they're remote controllable, dimmable, and very bright. Oh, and you can manually turn them on and off individually if you just need to find that last can of Dinty Moore in the dark, for example. They are battery operated and batteries die and LEDs eat batteries. The reviewers who complained about how quickly they die seemed to think that those three little cylinders within them were wireless receivers of electricity from a world where Nikola Tesla didn't die penniless and heartbroken. No, brother, these are low batteries. So I urge you potential buyers to also buy an Eneloop charger or equivalent NiMH AA batteries because 1. the batteries that these washers come with are terrible; ) and 4. why not save the planet and the trash? Also, don't expect batteries to be magical and thankless. I love these lights with all my heart and highly recommend them to liven up a dimly lit existence and space. At least it makes me feel a little more prosperous as I stand half-naked in my kitchen, eating cold Dinty Moore straight from the can and basking in the twinkling LED lights under the counter. I guess that's how rich snobs feel.
