Do you remember my post in October about the Mr. Beams Stick Anywhere Task Lights? I'm happy to announce that the lights mounted under our kitchen cabinets are still going strong. I'm even happier that today, I'm bringing you yet another lighting product from Mr. Beams!

Enter Mr. Beams Stick Anywhere Wireless Mini LED Lights. Depending on which set you buy, you will receive a set of two or a set of six. I received the set of two. The lights come with instructions, information about Mr. Beams, and all of the mounting hardware. Batteries (4 AAA for each light) are not included.
They are wireless, battery-operated lights about the size of a bar of soap. They each feature a circular sensor on the top, and are a rounded rectangle shape. They are, in my opinion, aesthetically pleasing. Because of it's compact size, the lights can be mounted almost anywhere—from your kitchen pantry to toy boxes to under cabinets and your entryway.
The last time that I reviewed the Mr. Beams Stick Anywhere Task Lights, I mounted them under one set of cabinets in my kitchen. Being that I have not one, but two walls of cabinets, I decided to place the next set of lights on the opposite wall under the other set of cabinets.
Below, you'll see what the first set of Mr. Beams lights looked like in my kitchen.
I was hoping that the second set of lights, although smaller, would still produce the same, or at least close to the same, amount of light.
The instructions were fairly simple.
Just slide off the backing, insert the batteries, mount the bracket to your wall, or wherever you would like to place the lights, then slide the lights back into the brackets.
Due to the odd placement of my lights, I had a little trouble maneuvering the screwdriver. I could have placed them a little lower, but I had already decided on that area, which is why I just went with it. Alas, I did finish it up, with a little frustration.
I didn't really want the lights to be in plain view, just because I like my walls to be clear. As you can see, mine are not visible when walking through the kitchen. I like it that way.
What's really cool about the Mr. Beams Stick Anywhere Wireless Mini LED Lights is that they do not light up when there is already light, whether natural or artificial.
Below, you can see what the lights looked like after the sun started going down (they would not activate during the day, as my kitchen receives lots of natural light).
Overall, I am satisfied yet again with this Mr. Beams product. The lights are compact, but they certainly give off a great deal of light. I do believe that installation would be easier if I didn't choose to mount them directly under my cabinets. If you mount them in a more conspicuous area, I feel that installation would be a breeze.

This is what they look like if I crouch down. I wanted to show you the amount of light you get off of these little lights. |
This is what they look like if you're shorter than 5'4". :) |
This is what the lights look like from my height. You cannot see the hardware, but you can see the light. |
