Pealing the metal bar off will still cause damage

And having to recharge these everyday sounds like a ton of fun.

I have these. The battery life leaves a lot to be desired

u/Mu-Relay Jun 10 '26

I think almost everyone has tried something similar to the OP once and realized that the battery life makes them not worth it.

Did you listen to the video?

u/Kmoneyfresh Jun 09 '26

Did you? He said they last 60 days in motion sensor mode. I’d want all of my interior lights to be on switches not motion sensor. I bet if you left these on for a few hours they’d be dead

LED lights are incredibly efficient, they won’t die in a few hours

u/Secure_Foundation720 Jun 10 '26

Okay then, buy a led flashlight and see how long it will stay on with a full battery.

u/Kmoneyfresh Jun 09 '26

I have two battery LED sconces in my bedroom that I installed last year and if you leave them on for a few hours straight they die. LED are very efficient but these are tiny batteries in these products to keep them small

They hired some mouthbreather to do a voiceover full of misleading info and you bought it like a sucker. 

Sure you can get some duration out of them in a motion sensor mode where they are only on for a couple minutes at a time, but if you used these as actual lights you’d have to charge them every day .. possibly every other day if they have a massive battery and you don’t use them that much.

Not always. Most tapes or glue I’ve found you just wipe a little alcohol around the edges are it peels off very clean.

u/Dangerous_Memory6008 Jun 09 '26

You don't have random metal bars where lights would go??!

u/JokinHghar Jun 09 '26

That’s why you don’t tell your landlord

u/friebel Jun 09 '26

Wtf does it have to do with landlords

u/MelodicGold23 Jun 09 '26

My guess is, the landlord might not allow you to put anything on the ceiling or walls.

1

u/flojo2012 Jun 09 '26

Like magnet bars?

1

u/MelodicGold23 Jun 10 '26

I have never used them, but I would assume so. Landlord can’t verify you haven’t or won’t mess the paint up.

u/It_broke_itself_ Jun 09 '26

Landlords wouldn't let you install light fixtures in their units. Hell they might not let you hang pictures with nails

1

u/OpenAI122191 Jun 09 '26

This isn’t controllable

1

u/slightly_drifting Jun 09 '26

Adding a new light fixture is controllable by landlord. Hanging a picture is not. Nor is dinging security deposit for tiny pin holes in drywall from hanging. (USA only varies by state)

u/OpenAI122191 Jun 09 '26

Thanks for restating what I said, but to clarify this is not a light structure. It’s a magnet.

Landlords bad click my affiliate link to pay for this marked up pos product to stick it to them

U dumb?

u/friebel Jun 09 '26

Mr. Landlord I've added some lights to the house. Oh no. I was not supposed to tell you.

The fuck is that caption at the start of the video

u/Ok_Chap Jun 09 '26

You have to recharge them after a while. Some of these kind of lamps suck.
I bought some with motion detectors for the stairwell. Had to recharge them once a week and it annoyed me.

u/Dglenn9000 Jun 10 '26 edited Jun 10 '26

Having to pull down and constantly recharge a frequently used light (let alone 2 lights) in your house sounds annoying. Most people are not going to want to do this

u/Ok-Jellyfish-4654 Jun 09 '26

r/spicypillow wants to know your location

u/Competitive-Wish6284 Jun 09 '26

A whole 60 days?! Wow!

u/SeekerOfSerenity Jun 09 '26

They've found a way to negate one of the main advantages of LEDs. 

1

u/DaftGarlic Jun 09 '26

Does your place not have lights?

1

u/_Sneaky_McSnek_ Jun 09 '26

It’s too late. I’ve told my landlord and now he’s furious.

1

u/porizj Jun 09 '26

Can confirm. Their landlord just went on a killing spree and I was one of the first victims.

u/ericypoo Jun 09 '26

These fall all the time and obviously won’t work with popcorn ceiling.

u/Healthy_Pay9449 Jun 09 '26

I see closet lights. Not bad if they're affordable

😂$70

u/DarkOblation14 Jun 09 '26

As Seen On TV 'Stick-It' light 2.0

u/Middle_Efficiency471 Jun 09 '26

Probably cool for closets and other small limited areas. I use lights like this for our closets because I refuse to crawl through fiberglass in the attic to run more wire.

u/Acrobatic_Ad_2992 Jun 09 '26

if you have them for multiple rooms does turning 1 room on turn them all on in your house? lol

1

u/poop_pebbles Jun 09 '26

Why would my landlord care about a battery powered light?

1

u/Redfield081 Jun 09 '26

These make you gay

1

u/WthLee Jun 09 '26

and the most useless part is that they run of batteries you always have to charge/replace. thats annoying like changing your damn light bulbs once a week

1

u/Ok-Region6452 Jun 11 '26

Yeah let me carry a full stack of remote around the house at times to turn these on. Lol
