The cupboard used to be a guessing game in the dark

You reach toward the shelf and the strip wakes up before your hand arrives. A clean line of light spreads across the wine rack, the wardrobe rail, the shoe cabinet, then fades out a while after you step away. No switch to find, no cable trailing to the socket.

The bar itself is barely there. An aluminium body a few millimetres thick, a frosted lens that spreads the LED into a soft even glow, and a small sensor eye at one end that reads movement and low light. A magnetic back and an adhesive pad let it sit under a cabinet or along an entryway.

Key Benefits

• Motion sensor A sensor at one end switches the light on when it reads movement in the dark and turns it off again a short while after you leave.
• USB rechargeable A built in battery charges over USB, so there is no wiring and no socket needed where it sits.
• Magnetic and adhesive mount Fix the steel strip with the magnet, or use the adhesive pad on a smooth surface, and lift the bar off to recharge.
• Three color temperatures Switch between warm, neutral and cool white to match the cabinet or the hallway.
• Infrared remote on remote versions The remote versions add a small handset for brightness, timer and color, controlled from across the room.
• Six lengths Choose from 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 80 cm to fit the shelf or run you have in mind.

Best for: kitchen cabinets, wine racks, wardrobes, shoe cabinets and dark entryways where running a wire is not worth the trouble.

Why It Works

Most cabinet lighting means a wire, a driver and a switch you have to reach. This one skips all of it. The battery and USB port make it portable, the magnet makes it repositionable, and the sensor means the light is only on when you are actually there, which is easy on the charge.

Quick Product Facts: LED light source rated up to 50000 hours; built in rechargeable lithium battery charged over USB; passive motion and light sensor; warm, neutral and cool white tones; magnetic strip plus adhesive pad; lengths 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 80 cm; silver or black finish; infrared remote included on remote versions only.

How It Fits Your Routine

Under the kitchen cabinets it lights the counter the moment you walk up at night, then rests while you are away. In a wardrobe it reads the door opening and shows you the rail without a wall switch.

By the front door it comes on as you arrive with your hands full, long enough to find keys and a light switch.

When the battery runs low, lift the bar off its magnet, charge it over USB, and set it back in place.

FAQ

Does it need wiring? No. It runs on a built in rechargeable battery that you top up over USB, so no socket or electrician is needed where it sits.

Does every version include the remote? No. The infrared remote is included only on the versions listed as remote control. The other versions use the on board sensor.

How does it stay up? A magnetic backing grips the included steel strip, and an adhesive pad is provided for smooth non metal surfaces.

Can I change the light color? Yes. It switches between warm, neutral and cool white so you can match the space.
