I purchased an open box item to replace a destroyed door at my new house where the previous owner had ripped it apart presumably because the key was lost. I was able to secure the new door to the existing box and it looks like new. It works great as a table piece in our home. Assembly was straightforward.
I'm not really a fan of anything made by Legrand, but this Low Voltage panel fit the budget and was easy to install and worked well for what I needed it to do. It works great as a table piece in our home. Assembly was straightforward.
65 LED Motion Sensor Lights 2 pack - Model HZT- HBSL0003
Foremost - The 2500 mAh rechargeable batteries are not replaceable, when they die, the whole unit has to be replaced. I chose this model because I prefer how slim they are VS the bulkier models that you can replace the batteries.
BATTERIES: Take 2 hours to a full charge. I get an entire month of use before I need to recharge.
CHARGING
You'll probably need to check which USB wall plug charger you're using, and get a magnifying glass if necessary to see the OUTPUT info on the plug you're considering using, just make sure it says what this unit's owner's manual requires:
5V at 1 amp.
Most USB wall plug chargers in my collective junk drawer were 5V but the amperage was wrong. Since buying more LED motion sensor light bars and wanted to prolong their battery life, I bought the right charger, they were cheap and it was worth it to me to avoid issues. Here's what I bought, but any 5volt with 1 amp would do-

AUTO SHUT OFF
The auto shut-off during the day is nice and saves battery life, though I have witnessed the light coming on during overly cloudy or rainy days, it's not perfect but works well enough.
SUPER EASY TO STICK UP
Two pieces of thin metal with sticky tape on the back. Stick the metal pieces to whatever you like.. In my case, it was underneath a cabinet, and the 2nd was under the lip of a pantry shelf. Then the light bar magnetically sticks to the metal pieces you just stuck up. I can use these just about anywhere in the house, what's cool is you can easily take the bar from its perch and use it as a flashlight, or leave it in a temporary spot where you need temporary light, but know the 20-second timer makes it shut off automatically until it detects motion again.
I've primarily bought this pair as an automatic night light for my kitchen. It's mounted under the cabinet next to the kitchen door that's the main door to the rest of the house, so it gets used a lot; imagine Grand Central Station traffic 'C a lot.
Hung the second of the pair in my pantry - THIS HAS BEEN A GAME CHANGER!
Now able to effortlessly locate everything in my pantry! This has been the absolute BEST.
How wonderful it is to open my pantry door and the light automatically comes on!
LOVE THIS.
USAGE 'C Since it determines battery usage.
Of the three brightness settings 15% / 60% / 100%
I use the middle 60% - lights up my entire kitchen.
Color settings - Warm (amber color) / Natural (no distortion) / White - bluish light that reminds me of hospitals.
I prefer Natural, though I'm sure the color choice has no bearing on battery use.
And of course, the reason I got them in the first place-
I no longer need to turn on my overhead kitchen light fixtures just to get a drink of water, run a stray dish to the sink, or juggle things when I have my hands full just to turn on a light. I was almost giddy with such a small but wonderful convenience. I liked them so much that I bought a second set AND sent a third set as a gift to my sister too! It works great as a table piece in our home.
