(More customer reviews)These are not bad for a spot type light. The brightness is comparable to luxeon led flashlight. The light color is bright white, not amber, not soft white. The light is bright enough to cause serious damage to your eyes if you look directly into the lit light. Since it is a spotlight your would have to try to look "dead-on" into the light beam for this to happen. These are designed as under cabinet or over countertop use. So, these should be safe as designed.
Now for some little things. These lights get warm during use. I measured the upper surface (mounting) temperature of several lights while operating on BRIGHT. The room temperature was 75 degrees fahrenheit and humidity at 45%. The surface temperature of the lights peaked at 113 degrees fahrenheit in just under 5 minutes. Temperature decreased thereafter and remained constant at about 100 degrees. I continued to monitor temps for 5 more minutes. Temperature did not increase in that time. I believe these lights are safe as designed. No further temps were taken, i felt reasonably satisfied the lights are NOT a fire hazard.
Lights have 3 states, (OFF, ON-Bright, ON-Dim). Lights are switched between these states by passing your hand within 3 to 4 inches across the red windowed sensor next to the light lens. My lights will not switch at any distance greater than 4 inches. This is a good thing. I do not want the light switching on as I reach for a paper towel. Lights auto shut off after 1 hour if you should forget to switch them off manually.
I have no idea how long batteries last. I am not up to wasting batteries for that test. Each light comes with 3 alkaline batteries already installed. Your have to open each light before first use to remove a small strip of insulator paper blocking the contact on one of the batteries. Then reclose the light for use.
Each light has aproximately a quarter-sized magnetic disc with a gel adhesive applied. You remove the paper backing from the adhesive side and stick it on your intended mounting surface. Press the disc for about 10 seconds to ensure a good stick. Wait about 5 minutes more for the adhesive to fully set before putting the light on the disc. The magnet holds the light really well. The adhesive has held well to the bottom of my wood cabinets. The bottom of my cabinets are not even sanded very smooth, yet they are holding well.
I think these are a good buy at this price. I paid twentynine bucks per pack of 3 lights at Sams.

The over-achieving under cabinet light! These are the next best thing (and in some cases better) than fully wired under cabinet lighting.
