Relatively good price for what it is. But this only puts out ~10% of the light that a 60W incandescent bulb does. This is not bright at all.

May be good for nighttime lighting of hallways/stairs/bathrooms, where you don't want to blind yourself by turning on the regular lights. If you used this as under-cabinet lighting in your kitchen, you would need one under each cabinet for sufficient lighting to work there.

You would be better off buying a tape-light with high-quality LEDs and glueing that to the underside of your cabinet.
That color temperature can be harsh in a home setting.
can you send a link to the light that uses usb-c?

For those that mention the harsh color temperature, USB-C charging. I've been using the Wyze night lights as cabinet lights, although just 5 lumens, it appears to do its job to illuminate the back of the cabinet.

Batteries in these will self discharge in a matter of weeks - you better love pulling them down to charge them.

I have a Moston branded version in the bathroom and it lasts 2-3 months between charges with about 8-10 activations per day. How do you know this Monoprice product self-discharges in less time if you don't own one? If you have direct experience, cool, then say so. But what does anyone gain by the negative speculation?

I have these and they make an awesome light for my mailbox.
Why do you need a light for inside your mailbox? Seems like an odd use case.

A good use for something like this, as someone mentions below, is a dark cabinet that you access infrequently. I put something similar in my liquor cabinet (actually a 1920s-era oak fridge), and it activates when I open the door, lighting up the interior nicely. The color temp doesn't matter, and it only lights up for a short while. I literally can't remember the last time I charged the light, and I'm not a teetotaler.

As for undercabinet lighting, you do indeed want something under each cabinet. My first undercabinet lighting project was with LED puck lights (probably close to 100 lumens), and while they worked, the light was lackluster. I finally ponied up for a Hue strip light, and it was worth every penny. I installed a new one when we moved, and the difference (without lights) is astounding. Go hardwired lighting, not batteries, for undercabinet. I pretty much leave ours on from sundown to 11pm, and it's always on when cooking, even during daylight. While I like my other Hue lights, that LED strip is hands-down the best lighting addition I've ever made.

Monoprice used to make good stuff for a good price. Now they just make crap and they won't stand behind their own warranties.

Wait a few weeks and lets see how much you will be able to see.
I have some similar ones that I got off of Amazon back in September of 2021 for a hallway closet. I've only had to recharge them once after the initial charge so far.

What do you have against micro usb? It's not reversible like usb-c, but it's smaller and otherwise functionally the same.
Yeah that, the reversible part.

I have a very similar pair I got a few years ago. Not bright but not bad. We use them in a pantry to light up the starchy depths. They're not going to change your life, but at least you'll know how many cans of beans you have. Why did you buy so many beans?

Just received the pair. Installed 1, but it fell down in less than 30mins. Am I the only one here?

Bought these. Neither of them worked upon arrival (motion sensing). Crap.

I didn't get it either. Does it have different brightness modes? One unit is very bright and another one is not bright at all.
