- Dark-only sensor mode prevents the light from triggering during daytime, saving battery and avoiding annoyance
- Gradual 20-second fade-off after motion stops is gentler on the eyes than abrupt shutoffs common in cheaper motion lights
- Two-pack and dual size/color options (8" and 13"; warm, white, 3-color) let buyers outfit an entire home with a coordinated look
- USB-C fast charging and 9-hour continuous runtime give flexibility for both sensor and steady-on use
Perfect for
- Hands-free nighttime navigation from bedroom to bathroom or kitchen without flipping wall switches
- Illuminating dark kitchen countertops and inside cabinets for meal prep and finding utensils

- Lighting closet interiors and wardrobes to find clothing without overhead fixtures
- Temporary task lighting in workshops, basements, and garages where outlets are scarce
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the LED surface safe to touch if a child or pet brushes against it at night?
Yes. LEDs run cool compared with incandescent bulbs and the aluminum housing dissipates any residual heat, so there is no burn risk if a curious hand or paw makes contact in a dark hallway.
Will the dark-only mode keep the light from blinking on during the day and wasting battery?
The built in ambient light sensor reads the room and only activates the motion sensor in low light conditions. During the day the bar stays off, so you get reliable nighttime safety without daytime false triggers.
How quickly does it turn on when I get out of bed at night?
The infrared motion sensor has a 10 foot and 120 degree detection range, so it typically registers movement within a step or two of leaving the bed and lights the path before you reach the hallway.
Is it safer than leaving a night light plugged in overnight?
It uses a rechargeable lithium polymer battery with no exposed wiring and no outlet heat, and it only draws power when motion is detected, so there is no continuous hot plug behind the bed or in the bathroom.
Will the gradual fade-off leave me in the dark halfway down the stairs?
The 20 second fade is slow enough to walk a full flight comfortably, and motion from your next step will re-trigger the bar to full brightness, so the path stays lit as you move.
How do I install the light without drilling or hardwiring?
Peel the backing off the included adhesive iron sheet, stick it to a clean cabinet or wall surface, and let the magnet in the light snap into place. The whole process takes under a minute per light and leaves no screws or holes.
How do I charge it and how long does the battery really last?
Lift the light off its magnetic mount and plug any USB-C cable into the port on the side. A full charge takes about 3 to 4 hours, and in dark-only sensor mode the 3200mAh battery delivers 60 plus days of typical household use.
How do I switch between motion sensor mode and steady-on mode?
Press the power button once to turn the light on in motion sensor mode, press again for steady-on, and press a third time to power off. A long press in the on state activates stepless dimming from 10 to 100 percent.
Will it fit my specific cabinet size, and do the 8 inch and 13 inch versions work together?
The 8 inch bar suits narrow pantry shelves, small closets, and tight under cabinet spans, while the 13 inch bar covers standard upper cabinet runs and longer workbenches. Both sizes use the same mount, controls, and color temperatures, so they mix freely.
Is it compatible with my USB-C phone charger?
Yes. Any standard USB-C cable and any 5V USB power source will charge the light, including phone bricks, laptop ports, and power banks. No proprietary charger is required.
What is in the box and what do I need to buy separately?
Each package includes the LED light bar, a USB-C charging cable, an adhesive iron sheet, and mounting tape. You do not need to buy anything else to install and use the light.
Is it safe to leave the light plugged in overnight while it charges?
Yes. The internal lithium polymer battery is protected against overcharging, and the LEDs themselves run cool, so leaving the bar on the cable overnight is safe for the battery, the fixture, and the surrounding cabinet.
Will the motion sensor trigger through glass cabinet doors?
Infrared motion sensors detect body heat through open air but not reliably through glass, so cabinet doors need to be open for the sensor to register movement. For pantry lighting where the door stays shut, mount the bar on the outside frame instead.
What is the difference between this under cabinet light and a traditional hardwired LED strip?
Hardwired LED strips require an electrician, a switch leg, and often a transformer, and they stay in one brightness level. This light is rechargeable, tool free to install, dimmable in four steps and steplessly, and can be moved between rooms in seconds.
