This review is from: Sylvania 36051 Silver Linear Dot It Portable LED Light, Silver (Tools & Home Improvement) I bought two for under my kitchen cabinets. I get up very early and don't want bright lights, just enough to make coffee. Some features that may not be apparent from the product description: a) It comes with velcro and magnetic mounts b) It has a contact switch - just brush your fingertip to turn on and off c) It comes with (cheap) batteries but battery life is excellent The only con is that the two-sided velcro tape (sticky on one side, velcro on the other) is pretty poor. The sticky mounts would come unstuck overnight. I went to TruValue and bought Velcro brand velcro and it works fine. I'm buying more for other locations and to make sure I have spares. -------------- It is now 2011 and they are still doing what I need. I have knocked them off with appliances without breaking and they get steam from the coffee pot with no problems. 13 of 14 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Sylvania 36051 Silver Linear Dot It Portable LED Light, Silver (Tools & Home Improvement) Despite having three LEDs, this doesn't put out much light. It seems quite a bit less than a non-LED flashlight with 2 D cell batteries. The light is only about seven inches long and uses three AAA batteries. It has a touch switch which you just barely touch with your finger to turn it on or off. However, you need to touch it with a bare finger for the switch to work. A gloved finger won't operate the switch. UPDATE: The switch stopped working on my light after about a year of infrequent use. Had to throw the light out. The center plastic tube that contains the LEDs does swivel from side-to-side in either direction about 30 degrees to direct the light. If you want a brighter LED battery light to stick somewhere, Energizer makes a round push light called the "Hardcase LED Area Light" (about $11). It is about 4" in diameter and heavier, but it puts out much more light (50 lumens) and lasts a long time (31 hours with 3 AA alkaline batteries).

This review is from: Sylvania 36051 Silver Linear Dot It Portable LED Light, Silver (Tools & Home Improvement) This is an attractive light with a capacitance switch. I use it in my home entertainment cabinet over my turntable, and it provides bright white light about 2 feet under the light, which is suitable to read a record label or jacket or to check for dust on the needle or other problems.
It looks good and provides serviceable light. I have not seen any drawbacks to its design or function in the past three weeks. |
