A light bar for the spots in the house that never had a switch

It is 22 cm long and under 4 cm deep, so it sits close to the wall. The bar clicks onto a magnetic bracket and lifts off again for charging or cleaning. You choose whether it reacts to movement or to a hand on the surface.

Why choose this light bar?

Stairs, hallways and the inside of a closet are the places where wiring never reached. This one needs no wiring at all: the 2000mAh cell runs it and a USB cable brings it back. At 2.8W it draws little enough that a charge lasts.

Lights up on its own: the motion version reacts as you come around the corner, hands full or not.
Lifts off the wall: the magnetic bracket holds it firmly but lets you pull the bar away in one motion.
Arc or rectangle: a squared-off bar for a modern hallway, a curved one where the lines are softer.
Warm or crisp white: warm for a bedroom or landing, white where you need to see detail.
Metal and ABS: an iron shell over an ABS body, finished to sit flat against the wall.

Pick the touch version where you would rather decide yourself when it comes on.

Placement is the whole trick with a light like this. Halfway up a staircase it covers the treads above and below; inside a wardrobe it lights the rail without shining into the room; under a kitchen cabinet it puts light on the counter instead of the ceiling. Because it charges over USB, the bar comes down every few weeks and goes back up in seconds.
