Beams MB990 300 Lumen LED UltraBright Wireless Battery Powered Motion Sensing Indoor/Outdoor Ceiling Light, 2-Pack, White

As battery-powered motion/light sensor LED ceiling lights go, this one works fine. It's easy to figure out/install, and I think the 4 "D" cell configuration should help extend the service life between battery changes.The "button" that allows you to alternate between "darkness only" and "always active" settings isn't really a "button" at all. It's what tech geeks refer to as a "jumper" ... a little clip that fits on the ends of two steel conductor pins that poke out of the central guts of the light. When the clip is on, you're in "darkness only" mode, because the ambient light sensor is activated by the "jumper" connecting the two pins. When the clip is off and that connection is broken, the ambient light sensor is disabled, and the light will go on when it detects any motion, regardless of how much ambient light is present in the area of the light. I'm not so crazy about this function being controlled by a "jumper" ... IMHO, the user should be able to control this function with a permanent sliding switch or button ... rather than a tiny, removable part that's so easy to lose.I tried both "darkness only" and "always active" modes, and they both worked properly, and consistently. The light stays on for about 20 seconds after the last motion is detected, and there is no lag or reset time needed to re-activate it ... it will immediately go back on with detection of any new motion.I noted that a lot of reviewers think it's "nice and bright," but that perception will depend entirely on where you're installing it and how much light you need/want for the area. 300 lumens is not a whole lot of light ... the higher settings on most modern LED flashlights put out a lot more than that. By comparison, a typical 100-watt incandescent bulb puts out about 1,600 lumens, so if you're thinking this light is going to be adequate for an area you're used to having that much light in, you better keep looking for a brighter/larger alternative, e.g., one that's hard-wired into a household AC current source, and perhaps controlled by a remote mounted at the entrance to the room/area.All that stuff aside, I'm not disappointed with what I got. It's a nice light, and works as advertised.

I recently bought an older house with limited lighting/electrical set up in it. Over my stairs there is absolutely no light source which was frustrating. I saw these on sale at a hardware store and figured why not?My expectations were very low, but something is better than nothing right?Well I put one of these at the top landing of my stairs and one at the bottom of the stairs. Let me tell you, honestly if I didn't know they were battery operated I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. They light up about the same amount as 1 40 watt light bulb, so think kind of like the same amount of light as your refrigerator light but from the ceiling so it lights up really well. The light is nicely dispersed so it illuminates the stair case awesomely. To the point that I have two walk in closets without light sources in them, so I bought two more now they are lit up just like a light is built in. I don't have a light source at the top of my basement stairs, so I added another one there. It works great. Now the cats do set them off continously all night (personally I like it because it gives the illusion that people are constantly walking around my house even when no one is here, and deters any unwanted house guests from checking the place out.You will burn through batteries if you're like me and the cats decide to go up and down the stairs hundreds of times each day. My stair lights I have to change every two weeks, my closet lights are about once a month. I personally decided that getting a ton of rechargeable 10,000 mah D batteries was the way to go. So every two weeks I recharge all the batteries for the house. Honestly it's been majorly worth it! I never have to worry about the power going out and having the nightmare of not having light because the lights even light up my living room next to the stairs.I've also bought the outdoor security lights, I've had one by the walkway from my garage to my house all winter long with regular batteries in it. Since there aren't tons of people moving in that area I haven't changed the batteries yet in 7 months. I have another one in my back porch and front porch that also have not had the batteries changed yet. I live in Wisconsin (we experience subzero temps most of the winter) so having an LED last all winter is a feat within itself... the fact that it was working the entire time was amazing.Anyone with lighting issues in specific areas I would recommend these lights to.Note that there is a little black tab by the batteries that you have to pull off in order to turn off the light sensing part of the light (in the case of my basement stairs and my closets I have other light that filters into the area which makes these not work right unless I turn take out the tab.)Also note that the light doesnt stay on continuously unless you are moving below it. So it's not ideal for areas where you'll be sitting around using the light as it'll turn off and on while you're under it.

I decided to put one in my outside workshop, and one on my inside coat closet.Easy to install - though the directions don't mention removing a plastic screw that I almost broke trying to bypass.Motion is pretty 'straight down' - It has no real angle detection in my experience, but once triggered, it comes up and is reliable. Well, ONE of them was, and this is my concern of QA.My second one flickered, a lot. I think it's a defect in it's "light detection" where it auto dims? I don't really know.It has a 'header' inside (A plastic cap you remove) if you want to change how ambient mode works, but this did nothing for me. No matter what I tried.Over-all, for it's price point; highly recommend it. When it works - It works. I replaced the defective one and now my workshop is super bright as you can tel in this pic - This is pitch black outside, and I can easily see everything in there.I likely will add a second to bypass shadow affect, but that's a good thing.

Una excelente iluminación de esta lámpara de leds. Un gran producto.

Really happy I will buy another one for the caravan

I purchased the water resistant Mr. Beams MB990 light to solve a difficult problem with an easy solution. I have a small ensuite bathroom with a small shower (40” x 35”). I needed to light up the dark shower but didn’t want the expense of running electrical wires for a hard-wired light. I also wanted the light to work if the rest of the bathroom was lighted outside of the shower. I was able to remove the photo sensor cap on the inside (located near the battery compartment) of the fixture. This set up enables the light fixture to go on in daylight as opposed to being restricted to turning on only when dark and sensing motion.Installing this motion sensor light into tile was easier than I thought it would be. I was nervous drilling into tile after reading how hard it was on websites. I purchased an 7/32” multi-material drill bit (diamond-ground carbide tip). The 7/32” size worked perfectly for the plastic anchors that came with the light. I taped off the areas I was going to drill and using my awl I lightly tapped a small indentation on the screw location marks I had drawn, to prevent the drill bit from jumping. Set my drill on number 7 (out of 15) to be middle speed and applied medium pressure. Took less then 4 minutes to drill all 4 holes. Complete installation took approximately 20 minutes including prep and clean up. The light works well and when I close the shower curtain across the opening the light does not come on if someone comes into the bathroom to use just the sink or toilet – won’t be wasting battery life. The light easily stays on while showering and doesn’t go out, but then I’m not standing still in the shower. Based on my initial usage of this light I would recommend it as an easy solution for lighting up an area without having to run electrical wires though joists and walls in an existing bathroom.

I've ordered 2 of these, after having to return 1 (and get another one to be delivered) due to the sensor not working, everything works exactly as expected.

Initially we were pleased with this light. However we have only had this since April 2022 and have gone through so many sets of batteries. Now we only seem to get a few days of battery use before they need changing to give enough bright light. Very disappointed as it really helped a dark corner of our shower light up. Wouldn’t recommend (even with rechargeable batteries)
