Pantry light advice needed

[Springerdad]

Greetings! SOB owner here, this forum is more informative and active than my builder's.

I searched the forums, but didn't find what I was looking for. Our 26' TT has a nice large pantry, but it's DARK. No lights inside, and the DW is getting frustrated looking for things in there. I'm looking for a simple light solution that won't require wiring and switches and all that; this TT is a stepping stone so I'm not looking to invest a lot of energy and money into this project. Any advice on stand alone battery powered lights, either switched or motion, that you've found would work well in there? Thanks!

I just bought 4 of these and placed them in cabinets and closets in our Leprechaun. Battery operated, bright and use double sided tape. Very nice and practical.

X2 on the stick on puck lights.

There are lots of places they come in handy....
under the sink, and other dark cabinets that get frequently used.

I agree with the puck lights.

No wiring, motion detect on/off, easy install and when you trade it off you can pull them and reuse in new unit.

Puck lights for sure. I have 4 in my pantry that work great. I would suggest the screw on mounting option.

We installed the pucks and like them a lot. Two light levels is working well for us. Just remember to shut them off before you shut the pantry door. Screwing them in is better than the stick-ons which sometimes fall off. We got ours in the RV section at Walmart.

The ones I got above are motion sensored and stay on for like 80 seconds. If they still detect motion after 80 seconds the timer resets back to zero and it stays on for another 80 seconds and so on. No worry about forgetting to turn them off. I love them for the basement area, cabinets, closets etc.

Marksha83,,,,,I'm gonna have to look for the style you have.
Or buy a big box of "AA's".

Ha ha ha....I first bought two of them from Super Bright LEDs to give them a try. They were good quality and worked great so I bought two more. They ship fast and provide great customer service. I also bought my outdoor LED multi colored LED strip light set from them. That also is good quality and works great. Even came with a remote for changing the colors.

We use expired road flares to illuminate the depths of our pantry...a bit smokey, but hey, no wiring installation required.

Yeah I think the smoke detector would drive me nuts

Hey, I like that flair idea.....got any guests you want to leave early? Light em up.

We tried a puck light in our pantry, had to use a match to see if it was on...maybe they're brighter now?

Bought something similar to this at Costco, much brighter.

ROFL!

Thanks for the input everyone. I looked at the puck lights but didn't want to buy ones that were weak or junk. Thanks for the links and input!

x2 on the led strip from amazon. I bought one to light our steps and we liked it so much that we bought several more to use in other areas. I love these. cincia
