Update standard outlet boxes in closets, hallways, and storage rooms to use LED light. These ceiling lights are good for tight spaces because they have a lower profile than standard bulbs and a polycarbonate housing that shields them from impact. Their LED bulb lasts longer, is more efficient, and generates less heat than other light technologies. They produce warm light, which looks like the light from incandescent bulbs. All meet NFPA 70 safety standards for lights in clothing closets.

Don’t waste energy lighting unoccupied spaces—these lights turn on when they detect movement. They’re commonly used in hallways and small storage spaces.

Lights with rechargeable batteries stay on for 3 minutes after motion stops. Their mounting plate attaches to surfaces with the included fasteners or adhesive. The light connects to the mounting plate with magnets, so it’s easy to take off when it’s time to charge. You can also attach the light directly to any magnetic surface. The polycarbonate lens resists impacts. These lights cannot be sold to Canada due to energy efficiency requirements.

Neutral lights are often found in workspaces.
