- Dark-only sensor mode prevents the light from triggering during daytime, saving battery and avoiding annoyance
- Gradual 20-second fade-off after motion stops is gentler on the eyes than abrupt shutoffs common in cheaper motion lights

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 162 lumen output be enough for detailed work at my bench?
For under cabinet and bench work at arm's length, 162 lumens from 112 side-illuminated LEDs produces even, shadow free light that is well suited to hobbies, repairs, and food prep. For larger bench areas, the dual pack covers more surface.
Can I leave it on steady for long sessions instead of motion only?
Yes. A quick cycle to steady-on mode gives you up to 9 hours of continuous runtime per charge, which covers a full work day before USB-C fast charging brings the bar back to full.
How fast does USB-C charging actually refill the battery?
A full top up takes roughly 3 to 4 hours through any standard USB-C cable, and a short 30 minute charge gives enough power for several nights of sensor use in a typical home.
Will the motion sensor get confused in a busy workshop with me moving constantly?
The 10 foot and 120 degree detection range is tuned for human sized movement in a defined work zone. Constant micro movement will keep the light on, but the gradual fade-off is gentle on the eyes between tasks.
Is the 4 level step dimming useful for different types of work?
Yes. Coarse soldering or mechanical work can use 100 percent, while computer adjacent or detail tasks at 25 to 50 percent reduce glare on reflective surfaces without leaving you in the dark.
How do I install the light without drilling or hardwiring?
Peel the backing off the included adhesive iron sheet, stick it to a clean cabinet or wall surface, and let the magnet in the light snap into place. The whole process takes under a minute per light and leaves no screws or holes.
How do I charge it and how long does the battery really last?
Lift the light off its magnetic mount and plug any USB-C cable into the port on the side. A full charge takes about 3 to 4 hours, and in dark-only sensor mode the 3200mAh battery delivers 60 plus days of typical household use.
How do I switch between motion sensor mode and steady-on mode?
Press the power button once to turn the light on in motion sensor mode, press again for steady-on, and press a third time to power off. A long press in the on state activates stepless dimming from 10 to 100 percent.
Will it fit my specific cabinet size, and do the 8 inch and 13 inch versions work together?
The 8 inch bar suits narrow pantry shelves, small closets, and tight under cabinet spans, while the 13 inch bar covers standard upper cabinet runs and longer workbenches. Both sizes use the same mount, controls, and color temperatures, so they mix freely.
Is it compatible with my USB-C phone charger?
Yes. Any standard USB-C cable and any 5V USB power source will charge the light, including phone bricks, laptop ports, and power banks. No proprietary charger is required.
What is in the box and what do I need to buy separately?
Each package includes the LED light bar, a USB-C charging cable, an adhesive iron sheet, and mounting tape. You do not need to buy anything else to install and use the light.
Is it safe to leave the light plugged in overnight while it charges?
Yes. The internal lithium polymer battery is protected against overcharging, and the LEDs themselves run cool, so leaving the bar on the cable overnight is safe for the battery, the fixture, and the surrounding cabinet.
Will the motion sensor trigger through glass cabinet doors?
Infrared motion sensors detect body heat through open air but not reliably through glass, so cabinet doors need to be open for the sensor to register movement. For pantry lighting where the door stays shut, mount the bar on the outside frame instead.
What is the difference between this under cabinet light and a traditional hardwired LED strip?
Hardwired LED strips require an electrician, a switch leg, and often a transformer, and they stay in one brightness level. This light is rechargeable, tool free to install, dimmable in four steps and steplessly, and can be moved between rooms in seconds.
