Cheap Battery-Powered All-Purpose Motion-Sensor LED Light (3-Pack) Review
Received these in less than a week from Smarthome.
Each light takes 4 AA batteries, so buy a 12-pack too! The booklet recommends alkaline or lithium AA-cells with 1.5v rating -- your usual energizer/duracell AA battery, in other words. I had hoped to try the new Eneloop -long-lasting-charge rechargeables (i still might), but we'll see how long it takes for these batteries to die first.
these come with a mounting bracket and double-sided sticky patches; the sticky patches will be fine since these items only weigh 1% more than 4 AA batteries. :)
My hallway is dark at night, and i have these space every 5 feet along the floor. The light is somewhat directional, and i have 'em aimed down (as in the picture) so they illuminate mainly the floor (so you won't be blinded when stumbling to the loo in the middle of the night).
The motion sensor has a wide angle, and as i walk down my hall, the lights light up when i get within four feet (like an 80-degree angle) away, which is great. They light up at night, at dusk, at dawn, and when it's grey & cloudy like today. Yesterday was sunny, even (sort of) in my hallway, and they detected that and didn't light up.
So for about (forty for the lights, ten for the batteries) i now have illumination in my hallway, my kids aren't scared of walking down it, my parents & in-laws need not worry about tripping... the only question is HOW LONG WILL THE AA'S LAST? I'll try to check in at 6 month intervals (comment to this and i'll receive an email alert if i need reminding.) ;^_^

Battery-Powered All-Purpose Motion-Sensor LED Light (3-Pack) Overview
Provide a lighted, safe environment in and around your home by using the Battery-Powered All-Purpose Motion-Sensor LED Light. This Motion-Sensor LED light is battery powered, so no wiring or professional installation is necessary. Using the included double-side tape or screws, you can mount the light virtually anywhere. It has a built-in photocell that ensures the LED will only be activated in complete darkness, extending the life of the batteries. When the motion sensor detects movement, the LED will brightly illuminate the area immediately around it. As the sun rises or as the location of the device becomes lit, the LED will shut off, making sure the LED does not come on when light is already present. The LED light will automatically shut-off after 30 seconds, another way to help extend the life for your batteries. Three Battery-Powered All-Purpose Motion-Sensor LED Lights are included so you can provide illumination in multiple areas of your home. Add automated light to your stairway, bathroom, hallway or kitchen; and because it is weatherproof, it can be mounted outside your home on the front porch, back patio or shed. This product requires the use of four (4) AA batteries, sold separately, and will last over a year with typical use.
