An LED tape light that switches itself on when you walk past

A sensor sits at the head of the strip and brings the light up when something moves in front of it. The tape is cuttable and backed with adhesive, so a run can follow a stair edge, a closet rail or a door frame. Power comes from four AAA cells or a USB plug, whichever is easier to reach.

Why choose this LED tape light?

Wiring a switch into a closet or under a stair tread is a job for an electrician. Sticking a strip along the same edge takes a minute. Three sensor modes decide whether it works around the clock, only after dark, or simply stays on.

Senses movement: the light comes up as you approach and drops again once the space is empty.
Three modes: constant, daytime and night-only, set from the sensor remote in the box.
Trim to the run: cut the tape at the marked points and curl it around a corner.
Adhesive back: double-sided tape along the strip holds to wood, tile or painted trim.
Rated IP65: sealed against splashes and damp air, so a porch or a bathroom is within range.

Output is dimmable if the full brightness is more than the space needs.

Under a kitchen cabinet it lights the counter without lighting the whole room. Along a hallway skirting it marks the floor at night, which beats feeling for a switch. Cool white reads sharper over a work surface; warm white sits better in a bedroom.
