While helping a friend decorate her new home, I discovered the existence of portable lights. Intrigued, I searched for similar options in my local New York stores to brighten poorly lit areas in my apartment. My first attempt involved purchasing small battery-operated light discs, but after a week of use, they all died. Frustrated, I turned to Amazon for a better solution.
I found the Asoko Rechargeable LED Lights, which seemed perfect for my needs. Despite having overhead fixtures and lamps, I often struggled with lighting in my kitchen and a dark closet. In my kitchen, two cabinets obstructed adequate illumination under the sink and cooking areas, forcing me to rely on other lights just to see what I was doing. The Asoko lights promised energy efficiency and longer lifespans compared to conventional bulbs.
The Asoko lights come in a three-pack and in various sizes: 7.8 inches, 9.9 inches, and 13.8 inches. I opted for the smallest size for my kitchen, where I needed concentrated light. Installation was straightforward; after charging each light for three hours, I followed the user-friendly instructions. The lights can be mounted using magnetic brackets or adhesive stickers, allowing for easy placement under cabinets.
Operating the lights is simple: one tap turns them on, a second tap dims them, and a third tap turns them off.
There's also a motion sensor feature available, but I found it unnecessary for my setup. Once activated, the lights provided a bright, inviting glow in my kitchen, making cooking and cleaning significantly easier.
I also placed one of the portable LED lights on my closet door to combat the darkness that concealed my shoes. This setup allowed for quick visibility without rummaging through my closet. Additionally, I've found a cost-saving use by keeping the LED light on when I leave my apartment instead of a lamp, helping me save on electricity and quickly lighting my way upon returning home.
