Small-Room Ceiling Lights
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.
