LED Rechargeable Strip Lighting - No Batteries Required |
I purchased LED rechargeable strip lights for my son's closet as a small Christmas gift, and wow, great product.
LED Strip Lighting for Closets and More
My son loves ambient lighting and has positioned stip-lighting behind his desk, his piano, and bed headboard, and they look amazing. However, those particular strip lights require electricity, and that's fine for furniture pieces near an outlet, but not for a closet.
In my search for a creative gift, I came across strip lights that are rechargeable. My first thought was, what-the-heck is rechargeable strip lights? First of all, I despise lights that require batteries. Batteries are simply an added cost. So the word "rechargeable" piqued my interest.
My son's closet is big enough to step into, and I wanted to get lighting for it without resorting to something that requires batteries.
In my search, I came across these Medulla Strip Lights and decided to give them a try. Good decision. They're fantastic.
Here's how they look in his closet:
One set was enough to reach across the back of the closet. The closet is about 5.5 feet wide. He positioned the lights along the back wall of the closet. You can put them under the top shelf; however, he felt they would be better across the back.
Here's Another Look at His Closet:
Settings on the Led Strip Lights
On his model, there are three settings; On, Off, and Auto. Also, the brightness can be adjusted up or down. Auto activates the motion sensor - which is fantastic. The lights stay off until it senses motion when you open your closet. That helps to preserve battery life.
Easy to Install With Built-In Adhesive
Simply peel the protective backing off of the strip lights and install them where you want. They secured perfectly for my son. His were placed on wood. The rechargeable unit also has adhesive on it and can easily be positioned where you want to put it.
How Long Does the Battery Last?
The instructions indicate that when you have the strip lighting set at Auto (Motion Sensor), assuming you open and close your closet 5 times a day, the charge should last approximately 30 days. My son hasn't had it that long yet and hasn't had to do a recharge.
How Do You Recharge LED Strip Lighting?
This unit has a USB port and a short USB cord. Simply plug it into a USB outlet. I imagine you could use your computer to recharge; however, we have a power cord with built-in USB slots, so we intend on using that.
Other Places You Can Put this Convenient Strip Lighting:

- Under bedframes for kids for added lighting when they step out of bed.
- Sheds and Garages
