Motion Sensor Closet Light (Rechargeable)

A rechargeable motion sensor closet light in a slim aluminium bar, for the places that were never wired. It senses movement, lights up, and switches itself off a few seconds after you leave.

Where a motion sensor closet light earns its place

Inside a wardrobe, where there has never been a socket and nobody is going to chase a cable into one. Under a kitchen unit. Along a pantry shelf. In a store cupboard, a meter box, or on a dark stair.

The common thread is that all of those places were built without light and would cost real money to wire. This solves it for the price of a light bar and ten minutes of your time.

No wiring, and no socket either

The battery is built in and charges from the USB cable supplied. In practice that means taking it down every few weeks, charging it, and putting it back.

It mounts on an adhesive magnetic steel strip rather than screwing to the surface, so it lifts off in one movement and clicks back on straight. That is what makes the recharging bearable. A light you have to unscrew twice a month is a light you stop charging.

It only comes on in the dark

The sensor checks the light level before it triggers. Open the wardrobe in daylight and nothing happens, because nothing needs to.

That is what stretches the charge from days to weeks. A motion light that fires every time somebody walks past in a lit room is flat by the end of the month.

What it does not do

There is no app, no Wi-Fi, no pairing and no account. It is a sensor, a battery and some LEDs in an aluminium bar.

For a cupboard that is exactly right. If you want a light that appears in an app, runs on a schedule or reports back to a hub, this is the wrong product and a smart bulb in a wired fitting is the answer.

Two figures we will not guess at

Battery capacity and LED count vary between production batches on this product. Rather than publish a number that may not match the unit in the box, we will read the label on the one in stock and tell you what it actually says.

Ask before ordering if either figure matters to you. If you want several units and no charging at all, the eufy Lumi three pack runs on AAA cells for up to a year instead, though the light is smaller and warmer. Both use a passive infrared sensor, which detects the heat of a body moving across its field rather than movement itself.
