As a home chef, a bright kitchen is a must. The problem is that I only have one large light fixture in my kitchen, and it’s nowhere near big or bright enough to hit the most important spaces, like near my stove or under my kitchen cabinets. You can imagine how difficult it makes cutting and prepping my meals. I talked my husband out of forking over a large amount of money for a new fixture so we could try DiDiSky’s Under-Cabinet Light duo instead, and they were by far the easiest and most impactful home upgrade we’ve made to date.
The LED lights are equipped with a 2200mAh rechargeable battery (an average battery capacity for a small device), which, according to the brand, can give you 10 hours of light on the device’s “always on” mode or between 40-60 days worth of power when using the built-in automatic motion sensor. When it’s time to recharge, just plug the under-cabinet lights into the accompanying USB-C charger, and they’ll be fully charged within two hours. You also don’t have to worry about wrecking your home with screws since each wireless light includes two adhesive metal plates, so you can simply stick them in place in seconds. I was so impressed that I added these in multiple closets and my pantry.

I specifically use these lights with the motion sensor. They turn on when detecting movement within 10 feet, and after 20 seconds of inactivity, they shut off on their own. I charge them every few weeks, and they have not failed me since I bought them six months ago. You can also choose between four brightness settings from 25, 50, 75, and 100%. I stick to 100% brightness for my kitchen, but I keep them at 50 or 75% in my closets and pantry, and it’s the perfect amount of lighting.
These lights are so good, I convinced my coworker, fellow shopping writer Stephanie Osmanski, to give them a shot. She said her closets “were too dark,” and with a baby on the way, she wanted to ensure she’d be able to easily get what she needed from the baby’s closet at night. “It literally took 30 seconds to set up,” she added.
One Amazon customer has even dubbed these lights a travel essential after installing them in their kitchen. “I put one by the bed and one at the entrance to the bathroom,” they shared. “They automatically turn on as soon as I rise from the bed.” They went on to say that the lights proved to be very useful when there’s a power outage.
Forgo the expensive lighting upgrades and go for the DiDiSky’s Under-Cabinet Light duo instead, which is now on sale for $14. We found a few other options that Amazon shoppers are snapping up below.
