Review on πŸ’‘ GE Wireless Remote Control LED Light Bars, 2-Pack, Bright White Light, Battery Operated, Under Cabinet Lighting, No Wiring Needed, Easy Installation, 17528 by Smooth May

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Batteries were dead after 2 weeks. Poor mount design.

At first I thought it was great. I liked the bright light and the remote control. Everything is thin so it was well hidden under the closet. Then, about a week later, the light began to dim noticeably. A few days later they didn't show up at all. Each light module requires 6 AA batteries and comes with double-sided adhesive pads making it difficult to remove for battery replacement. You must destroy the tab. Each lighting unit has 2 LED lamps. I find it totally unacceptable and surprising that two lightbulbs can drain 6 batteries. Replacing 12 batteries every few weeks costs a fortune. I would ask for a refund, however they are technically working and I refused the original packaging. Unless you only need to turn them on for a few minutes at a time, I'd recommend looking at other options. Although I wonder if the batteries were being drained mainly due to the RF connection to the switch.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
