Will these work in a closet, or we they always be on because of the darkness?

Yes the MB 530 has enough light coverage for a small closet. The light is only on when it is motion activated such as when you open the closet door.

I think perfect for a closet, they will come on when the closet door opens. Movement triggers the light.

They should work fine in a closet they only come on when there's motion and only in the dark. I have it in a dark hallway and it comes on when we come out of our bedrooms.

They are for me and the light is not very good over my locker at work. If you have good light I don't think you will have any problem. I think you will like it. I would not use anything else.

Mine work all of the time. They respond to motion not light or darkness. I have them on three of my four stairs.

No, it works in darkness when there is motion, even limited motion; you'll love it!

That's what we have. They work very well. They are very bright. However., if it's a dark and deary day they stay on all day. We've had them six months. We'd buy them again.

No they stay in pretty well. I use them when go to bed and they usually stay on all night.

Hi Edna,Mine stay on a bit during the day, but only in my darker rooms. They are triggered by a light sensor, and the threshold does allow for some ambient light. If the light doesn't bother you, the electricity usage shouldn't be a concern (they're supposed to represent about $1/yr).

Yes....somewhat. These work well where there is little or no light and hardwiring a light fixture is not an option. They are not as bright as the manufacturer would like you to believe.

The room has to be very dark. No lights outside lights should be no problem if you use a translucent curtain or shade. The light needs to be facing the shade so it can iliuminate the shade. Timer is ok if you leave the switch in the always in position.

We love this light in our pantry, which used to be a kitchen black hole, but this little light comes on with any motion near by, and then goes off in about a minute if it doesn't detect any further motion. We keep the pantry door closed most of the time, so we couldn't be sure it would be the same in a larger space like a closet. Hope this helps

It should work fine. These are great for adding a night light to a dark room or area. Great for windowless bathrooms, hallways and laundry areas

Im using mine in a horror movie, you could, depends on you lighting situation, low light theyre perfect but if its really bright it wont do much, but they can work under the right conditions, i love mine and use them all the time

No but you can dim them down or put them on full blast. I have mine hooked up to a timer so that when I enter the house at night I am not entering in total blackness.

Yes, they've worked in both of my frosted porch fixtures. But if it's a dreary cloudy day, they stay off sometimes. But I just turn them off with the light switch. No big deal.

Yes- I believe they will work fine. I have installed mine in my kitchen under the cabinets but the LED lights are not as bright as I had hoped - they are acceptable , but for impressive lighting solutions I would go with electric if you can run the wiring. If not, then these are are a great solution and better than no lighting at all. I don't keep them on for very long - only when I need them. I installed the remote on the wall- it is wonderful. Overall the concept is fantastic - but the light emitted is thin. Hope this helps -- Good luck!

No, they work fine, they just don't last a long time (when you leave them on as a night light).

I am guessing it depends on how close to the street light you are. If there is light, they won't turn on.
