Review on πŸ”¦ Wireless Battery Operated LED Picture Light with Remote, Dimmable, 16 in, Satin Black - Westek BL-PL16-BK by Rahul Schatz

Revainrating 3 out of 5

hard light. Not suitable for lighting large paintings.

I was thrilled when I unwrapped this flashlight (which comes in a compact, efficient package) because it looks sleek and stylish and comes with a remote control that you use to set the timer and adjust the brightness be able. Also, it has a built-in bubble level (which in my case turned out to be very inaccurate) in the mounting base. But the base is oddly long and doesn't have anything to indicate center (which is 3.6875 inches for reference if you bought one), making it almost impossible to center on anything exactly. It's not very long, so it won't illuminate objects far from the wall (my COMPLETELY AMAZING and Fabulously Weird painting in this photo is 2 inches thick). And the light (which swivels and slides out easily) doesn't cover most of the room. My painting is 5 x 5.5 inches and the lighting you see in this photo is mainly from my iPhone which is trying very hard to boost the lighting. Also, the light is really white and hard, not cool and soft, so it's not suitable for lighting things with warm colors. I do NOT recommend this light, but its functionality has many limitations. If your needs match the details I've laid out here (and if you can find a 3.6875" center to mount it) this is a great light and totally worth the money in my opinion.

Pros
  • New
Cons
