It says not for extended use. I want to use it as an accent light in my bar area. Would that be a good place for these?

I have had these for a couple of weeks and use them for the same purpose in my kitchen. So far, they have worked great. The remote has a dimmer as well. For the price and the ambiance this provides I am happy with it.

I use them for accent light in my living room. I do not use them every time I am in the room but on special occasions. I used the same lights in a former home in the kitchen. I found the life of the batteries was not very good with continual use. So in short, yes, they will work find if you are willing to replace batteries.

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!

Yes that would be a great place for the lights!!! I have them in my giant walk in closet and with the remote it is so easy to click them on when I need them and off when I don't. Everyone thinks I've had pot lights installed. They look great and work really well. I ordered two more sets recently because my kids want them in their rooms. I promise you will not be disappointed.

As long as you don't leave it on for a long time. I have mine under my kitchen cabinets. I use them as accent lights and have had them on for about 4 hours at a time about 10 times and they are still going strong. They create a beautiful effect.

I don't see why not. They obviously have some long term battery life, but leds don't draw much current. We are using them in our kitchen and like the dimmer and time delay features.

I hardly use this fixture. Light isn't very strong. Batteries don't last very long. You would be better off going with an electrical lighting fixture for better lighting.

It is a non user serviceable sealed assembly. The LEDs should last 10's of thousands of hours. However if one goes out then 3 will because there are 4 x parallel series of 3 LEDs. If one series of LEDs goes out the odds are the problem is the driver circuit not the LED itself, so you would either accept that it became a ~ 15W light that's a little dimmer or buy a new one.

Stephie, I contacted the manufacturer and it is not. But I went to Lowes and picked up light that were really accent lights instead. I only wanted these for my bedroom near our night stands so we had more room. What I bought worked really great, good light and about 20% of the cost. Try that otherwise the cost is rich.

I wouldn't suggest it be used for outside lighting. The glass is real fragile and the outside elements may be to harsh. You may be able to use for a sunroom or screened in porch.

I have 2 of these lights and use them indoors. They would be good to use in a breeze way or on a well covered porch. But they are not water proof.

I used the lights outdoor and the suited the occasion perfectly. The lights are warm and not the cool blue bright lights. If your room is big then you will be fine.

If being used as the main source of light I would say no. They would be perfect for extra light above your desk but I wouldn't be happy with 2 of these as the main lighting source.

I believe it would work okay. The light does generate a lot of heat -- so use in a confined spot could cause problems, in my view.PN

This would work perfectly fine for that. The batteries last for quite a while and even when weak you would still have plenty of light.

I live about 7 miles for the beach so I can't say that it will last I would try one and see if works for you. They are very good lights.

I ended up returning the wall lamps since they were too large for the space. However, I did buy a different lamp that has an LED bulb that is supposed to last for years. That is what is so great about LED bulbs: they use very little electricity and last for a long time.

I did not use it, My electrician said it will not work with the sign lighting ( outdoor), so all I can say that it is not suitable for outdoor use.

No I would not recomened it, it's best used for off road lights or light bar..

I used 4 strings of these in an event hall in lieu of using the super unattractive fluorescent hall lights. They were on for at least 6-7 hours with no problem. I actually think they are better suited for indoor use as they are not as sturdy as commercial quality outdoor string lights (they're good quality, the construction of them is just more akin to like.... The large bulb Christmas lights).

I would say to go to a box store or specialty lighting retailer. We had purchased these to use basically as you describe for a trade show exhibit. Once we cut the strips and connectors to wire them together they were terrible. We had all kinds of problems getting them to work and continue working. Also, I'm not sure what kind of a room you're trying to light, but these heat up A LOT. They got so hot that they melted their own glue and would not stay affixed to the beams we had them on.We ended up purchasing them directly from a lighting vendor. They were more expensive but they worked the way we wanted them to on the first try and they didn't get so hot that we had to worry they'd catch on fire!

it depends on what you mean by good. Is it durable enough? yes. would I use it outside? if I had an extra one sure. it depends how bright you want you light post. if you actually want to see rather than for aesthetics then, yes use it
