Review on 3 Pack Touch Led Night Light Battery Powered, 5000K Cool White CT/36 LM - Click Cordless Lights For Closet, Cabinet, Bedroom, Kitchen & Stairs by Paul Ajayi

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Inconsistent touch sensor makes these lights unusable. UPDATED - replacement set works great

--UPDATE 8/14/2018--After leaving my original 1-star review (unchanged below), the manufacturer reached out to me. They very politely asked if I would be willing to try the product again, as they believed I must have received defective units given the content of my review. I was skeptical: what are the odds that all three units I received were malfunctioning in the same manner? However, the seller asked nicely and I always support manufacturers / sellers who stand behind and believe in their products, so I obliged and was willing to give it another try.My experience with the second set of lights was completely different. The touch pads responded immediately to my touch, dimmed / brightened when I was touching the pad and stopped adjusting when I removed my finger. Even better, I didn't realize the lights retain the last light level they were set to and come back on at that level each time until the level is changed (the dimmer never worked reliably on the first set for me to find this out).I have updated my review to 4-stars. This would be a 5-star review but for the hassle of returning the defective units, so I'm dinging it one star. This is a convenient solution to temporary illumination needs. As I said in my original review below, this will burn through batteries if left on. However, changing the batteries is very easy (sandwich between your palms like you're forming a hamburger patty and twist), so if paired with rechargeable batteries this could be an effective solution for under-cabinet lighting or other lights that are intended to stay on for longer than a few minutes.--ORIGINAL REVIEW--I really wanted to like these lights. I bought them for the purpose of brief, temporary illumination (think opening a dark drawer or cabinet, no more than a few minutes at a time). First, the manual specifies these are intended for short periods of illumination only. Buyers considering these for under cabinet lights or any other purpose where they might run for several hours should be warned the manual specifies the batteries drain quickly, as supported by other reviews. Not a problem for my intended use.What is a problem is the poor quality and reliability of the touch sensor in the center of the light. Sometimes they turn on perfectly with one touch. Sometimes I have to tap the same light a dozen times before it "registers" my touch. Sometimes after turning on, all is well. Other times, after I tap it to turn it on, it thinks my finger is still on the activation pad and dims the light up and down repeatedly as if I were still touching it. The touch pad is so unreliable it makes these lights effectively useless, so back to Revain they went.This is definitely a case of getting what I paid for. If you want cheap, unreliable garbage, these are the lights for you!
