THIS LIGHT HACK TAKES SECONDS
t
Once the sun sets, I can’t see anything without additional lighting.
Ask my friend Michelle. She had to escort me to a porta-potty ( at a concert) because there was no light in the mobile bathrooms.
Maybe the Economy Plus portable bathrooms offer lighting.
We laughed hysterically.
I added these exact mini flashlights to my list of stocking stuffers.
Christmas is four months from today.
But even in the comfort of our homes, there are dark cabinets and closets that make it hard to see what I am looking for- before I forget what I was looking for.
A few years ago, we replaced our builder-grade light fixtures with larger light fixtures in our entry (and kitchen and dining room.
It was like a facelift for our entry.
But that lighting did not help me find the extra napkins tucked behind the paper towels in our entry closet.
Side note: If you are looking for a budget-friendly upgrade, update your entry, kitchen, or bathroom lighting.

LIGHT HACK
Wait until you see this motion-activated light in action.
I installed it in our entry hall closet after this closet hack.
MOTION-SENSOR PUCK LIGHTS
It is a great temporary light source in a closet or cabinet without power.
The sensor automatically turns off when it detects no movement.
DETAILS
I
I found the Home Depot inventory was difficult to find.
I found these motion-activated lights at Home Depot and online here.
These motion-sensor, battery-operated puck lights are great for
- cabinets
- e entry closets
- , crawl spaces,
- garage shelves
- pantry shelves
Where else?
These motion-sensor puck lights can be installed with a screwdriver (they come with screws and no drywall anchors are needed).
I have since purchased several different versions and was thrilled that, if you don’t want a long-term commitment with a motion-activated light, it includes double-sided tape for easy installation, repositioning, or removing it.
I used the larger one for the overhead lighting in the closet and used the smaller puck lights for the cabinets, shelves and I even tucked them into a few lanterns!
This motion detector light is the coolest thing since light timers.
Have you seen these motion-activated lights?
Where do you use them?
Please share in an email or in the comments, and I will add your ideas to the blog post (first name only).
Just an FYI none of your pictures come through when I click on your blog. I can read the verbiage but none of the pictures show up, just blank spaces. Not sure if it is just me or what, but I click on your blog every day and nothing.
Good morning, Laura. We had a couple of lights in our closets and they worked wonders! Have a great weekend.
Brilliant I tell ya!
