LIGHT IT! by Fulcrum, 30015-308 9-LED Anywhere Light XB, White, Single Pack

I bought these to use in a cargo trailer converted into an RV. I put two on the ceiling (although they are bright enough that one would do). If we need extra bright light, we can turn them both on. One is near the door so that we can access it when entering; the other is over the "kitchen" area. I put the mounting bracket for the third on the outside; when parked we can use it for an outside/porch light. Because of the way the bracket is made, I know that the lights will slide out and fall to the floor while traveling. One solution would be to dismount the lights when traveling (which would be inconvenient and probably overlooked). Instead, I put a screw part way into the wooden ceiling to stop this from happening; this means I must remove the screw to replace the battery.These lights are much brighter than I expected, and I suspect the battery life will be rather limited. However, for our purposes this is not a problem. We will seldom use them for any length of time, or very often. For general use, it would be nice if they were a bit larger and used AA batteries rather than AAA.And they also make great flashlights, which fit comfortably in a pocket

I bought a few different types of tap lights to try around the house. These ended up being my favorite. What I like:- 9 LEDs with no dark areas in the beam. I tried another brand and the beam wasn't solid like this one. I think it is because they spaced out their LEDs. This light is much better and has a nice solid beam.- The light beam is bright- Solid feel. They are made of plastic, but have a nice solid feel to them. Other lights I tried felt cheap.- They slide off of their mount. You can use the adhesive to stick the light up or you can mount the light with screws. Either way, you are mounting a plate. The light slides onto the plate. You can slide it off to remove the batteries. The batteries are not exposed when you do this; you still have to rotate the back of the light to get to the battery compartment.- Light is self contained when not mounted. I love this - I can slide the light off the mount and use it as a flashlight without having to worry about batteries falling out. I've used is as a flashlight as many times as I've used it as a tap light (I didn't expect this but it has been VERY useful)- The adhesive WORKS. There are so many that don't which leads to light falling and breaking. So this is a big deal to me.Cons- I was looking for a smaller footprint. This version with 9 LEDs is almost 4 inches wide.

It's a good light. It's bright, not too hard to operate, but it has some flaws:1. The plastic anchors are not sturdy enough to be hammered in easily. Take care when trying to use them in drywall, you might mash them with a hammer instead of tapping them into the hole if you aren't careful.2. The on button has to be pressed pretty far in to get it to come on. That's fine, except that when you do this, you've got your finger so far into the middle of the thing that you are much more prone to knocking it off the base...3. And even when you aren't turning it on or off, these things do NOT sit very well in the base. In a wall, it's easy enough to bump it out of the base, but if you're looking for something to put on a ceiling (is that not the intended/primary place for a "flood light" led type thing like this?), I might try something else.Sure, for me, I bought it, it gets the job done, but I can't help but worry. Every time I move around in the closet, I run the risk of barely touching this thing, which is usually enough to knock it right off. It's installed correctly, it's not defective, it's just poorly designed, period. -1 star for that, and I'm being lenient because otherwise it is a pretty good tap-light.

We have a large closet under our staircase and it's needed some lighting for a long time. I had a small, battery operated fluorescent light in there at one point, but it gave off such an unpleasant light that I removed it.These Fulcrum LED tap lights are just what we needed. They're simple to install with either the adhesive strip on the back, or with screws, which I used. I drilled pilot holes for the screws in the 2x4s, then screwed the bases of 3 of these lights in. I put them in three different areas so the entire closet is lit up. The light itself slides into the base and that's all there is to it. As another reviewer mentioned, you can slide the light out of the base and use it as a hand-held flashlight if you need it.The light they give off is bright, white and perfect for small areas. The pattern of the LEDs is round and direct, sort of like a spot light.Overall, I am very happy with these lights!Edited May 2014: I put one of these lights in a small cabinet where I keep plastic food storage containers. I was forever digging in the dark, looking for the lid to match the bowl, and this light just made it 100% simpler!

Works good in the small trunk in my motorcycle really bright
