Fairly good at what it does.
I bought this to illuminate dark areas on my stairs which have no electrical outlet nearby for safe passage at night.
The LED light is certainly bright enough to illuminate the stairs at night for safe passage. in fact my lovely wife complains it's TOO bright. It will last far longer than a fluorescent or incandescent bulb and will give more illumination bang for the battery-life buck than either of those. So LED is a good choice for this application.
The range is around 10 feet which is minimally acceptable for my purposes but certainly good for a closet.
Two things that are less than ideal for my purposes:
The motion detector cannot "see" motion that is above the plane of the sensor. So you can't put it on the landing below and expect it to illuminate the stairs when you descend from above.
The light sensor is not sensitive enough so that the little bugger still illuminates during the day despite regular houselights being on. Not a problem but rather wasteful.
It would also be nice if the motion sensor could be rotated to point away from the light but that's asking too much for such a reasonably priced item.
All in all if you need to intermittently spot-illuminate an area without an outlet this will do the trick.More detail ...
