Does anyone have a recommendation for wireless lighting?

Aug 31, 2012 3:31 AM

I have a closet built under a staircase. Normal height at the door but slopes back at an angle (7+ ft. following the staircase). There is no electricity there & no outlets near the closet. So, I am looking for a bright wireless light to install. The local box stores only carry lights similiar to the Sylvania Task Lights - these are not nearly bright enough. Tried to search on-line but hesitate to order without seeing the light in person - don't want the hassel of returns. Does anyone have a recommendation for a light &/or retailer? Thank you!

A motion activated light will turn itself on when you open the door, and turn itself off when you're done. It may be too bright, though. Maybe it could be mounted so the light shines into the closet (like just above the door's frame) so it won't be so harsh on the eyes.

edit: I just noticed that one turns itself on in low light settings, which means it wouldn't work for your needs. Oh well. There are other similar options on Amazon if you think this type of light will work for you.

@rprebel: Thank you for the link & suggestion of where to install the light. I didn't think about using an outside light! Good catch about the light turning itself on in low settings - I'll have to look out for this. thanks again, I appreciate the help!

Are these the type of task lights you are trying to avoid?

We are using these under our kitchen cabinets and I found them to be surprisingly bright! The one downside I might foresee in your case is that they tend to be fairly narrowly directed, which could be problematic if you are trying to light a large space.

I suggest candles. They are wireless and portable.
Open flame may not work in the closet, though.

@alpayton: Thank you. Local Lowes didn't have those I'll have to look for them. These are the ones Lowes did recommend. Tried them, they have a very focused light and are not quite bright enough for the space:

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
