Stairway lights and other places

[steptoe]

Ok these are 3 meter long and have the little sensor now the picture does not do them justice these are very bright i did not take a full stairwell photo but these do in fact give plenty of light , they can be set on stay on or senser and sensor 1/2 power again plenty of light for us to see and in the event of a blackout they are in place and they do not come on if the normal house lights are working so again should not flatten the batteries to fast , i put rechargeables in and you can plug it in to a usb charger with a c cable so happy days , i have a few of these and well wife has big plans lol .

lol your not joking mate i am well happy and also got these for the loo and well the gun cabint to lol those are just the small 1 ft ones but well i am a fussy sod with my guns and i hate what i call cabinet bump on guns especially when i have spent many months stripping them and refinishing stocks and so on , these led lights are coming on a bundle now and wow well the head is spinning and not just from the blackout i had today lol , we are thinking ok sensor lights all over that way power goes and we just smile and carry on .

Thank you for all your advice re power options and that andy as i said i am new to thinking on power and so on the ret we had covered but lighting and power i never gave a second thought to it was heat , food and water the main issues light i was thinking live by torch and head torch but these well have changed the game as i say always in place

They look and sound really handy.
How big is the movement sensor?
If they are on dim mode, would they be dim enough to give gentle illumination for a night-time trip to the loo, without waking up the whole house?
In bright mode, would they be enough to read by, even at a struggle.
What settings are there? On-duration? Brightness? night-time mode?

Please let us know how long the batteries last.

I've a fair variety scattered everywhere..

One over the front door came from Lidl. Which takes 8! Aaa's which supplements the solar jobbie over winter

There's 3 down the tunnel to the back 2 that look like bullet cameras and a osram round one it's dry down there so no issues with water the osram one lights up the electric meter box nicely

Got another on the back gate which downlights the Briton mechanical pin number lock

I've a couple of usb rechargeable magnetic slim flat mini fluorescent type under cabinet jobbies too which I can place strategically they go great in the camper awning too bit like this

Plus several plug in rechargeable lights with pirs which can be used as a torch and come on in the event of mains failure

Hi jen i have not fully tested but the 3 mt strip has a timer on it i have it set to go off after 3 mintues plenty of time to get upstairs in the dark if power is off , i am not sure on the longest time as after 5 minutes i got bored of watching waiting for it to go off lol , it can be fixed as per on you just move the switch , on bright it lite up the stairs as per picture but also light up the stairwell if you get me up to cieling hight and not a problem nice and bright as for a reading light hmmm you could read but it and do most things by it , i will have to try and fix a way to show how bright but lets say it will bea god send if the power does go out but also we are not using the hall and stairs mains lights now we are trying to use the led strip to well just cut power useage but again we want to see how much light we can do with out in the event of power cuts , as i say we have torchs wind up and rechargeable and battery all over we have paraffin lights and so on but just trying to fix emergency stuff really that if in bed and in the middle of the night you get up for a wee i want to see if we can use the 1 ft led strips in the bedroom and then have the battery sensor lights in the bathroom and landing so as you cross landing bing light is on go in bathroom bing light do whatever come out and bing if the light has gone out it comes on and so on , as i say i am new to messing with lighting and battery leds seem good i want ot see how much ofthe house we can mange on it with so that in the event it will not come as a slap in the face to live by the battery lights , now next year i have baan sat in bed writing plans forrunning 12v wiring to lights and in trunking to battery banks at i can charge from solar panels and also i want to work on solar power and even wind but solar is the first step i will take .

I will do more photos of the lights if it will help you but if i am honest my pictures do not do these little beaut the justice , now as to service length well thqat i don't know lol

Pah!Those are for reading books. I don't read books.... And I haven't forgiven you yet for that fuse.

The battery powered .modern LED systems ,really are impressive in this day and age. I don’t appear to be able to add photos, but,our stair to bathroom is covered by that kind of lighting, albeit subtle. At night,the lighting sets off without waking the house up with intensity. The cats are there a lot at that time!
Sure,we are LED mains all through,which is cheap and reliable. However,if anything went wrong - and it can - that battery lighting is something else. Not only that,It charges USB on the TV. That’s on anyway. Or solar when weather allows. I have the same in the outside loo,storage shed and workshop.

LOL andy how did you know we have them lol , my first one like that came from the good old USA from a friend back in the 90's it was like the hand of god for reading the light was so good , it died last year and was buried accordingly lol .

I am hooked on the led strip lights now the battery ones , some do have the built in charger so i may upgrade over time but for now the ones we got you can charge by usb as long as the batterys are rechargeables , but having them there just purely in case but in truth we did not use the house lights once going up to bed and down , but also i will be fitting them in the bathroom but took a health hit so got ot rest for a few days
