These changes have been made for a few weeks now, but with the holidays and all... well, this is the first chance we've had to put them up. Leslie finished painting the bedroom closets a little before Christmas and two of the three of them have overhead lights in them, but one didn't have anything. In addition, the coat closet downstairs didn't have a light in it and didn't get much in from the room. I wanted to brighten these both up with some lights, so I got on Amazon to see what I could find. I picked out two wireless motion sensor lights for the coat closet and then a LED light strip kit with an on/off switch wired into the cord for the bedroom closet.
The wireless lights hung easily enough in the coat closet and work well. I put one up on the top left and one on the right. The ceiling kind of dictated where they went it, but it works. They really light it up and it's very convenient not to have to worry about turning the lights on and off. Definitely makes a big difference.
It was a little more involved to hang up the lights in the bedroom closet. I decided to put them up near the ceiling so that they would give light up on the shelf too. This is a good solution for now, but maybe we'll put in an overhead light later. The closet is hardly deep enough to justify that, but it might be nice. We'll see how it plays out.
And there you have it, another nice little project that makes a nice improvement without much work. Total for the lights was about $30 and it took me maybe a total of 30 minutes to get everything installed. Gotta love it!
