6 Best Motion Sensor Lights for Closets

Imagine a scene where you open your closet door, and the closet magically lights up to reveal everything. Cool, right? Motion sensor lights for closets make this idea possible. These are simple lights (either puck lights or LED strips), that you can attach to the ceiling or walls of your closet. Once the setup is complete, simply open the door to see the magic.

Amagle LED Dual Mode Motion Night Light

The Amagle motion sensor light is one of the inexpensive lights on this list. And for its price, it manages to do a fairly good job. It’s a simple LED strip that you can stick to the ceiling of your closet via the 3M adhesive back. The motion sensor is quick to respond, and that’s probably one of the best things about this light.

The advantage of this LED light is its dual mechanism. You can either switch the light on/off manually. Or, you can rely on the sensor. The former comes into the picture when you need the light for a long stretch. The Amagle LED strip runs on four AAA batteries. And when triggered, the lights remain on for around 20 seconds.

What We Like

  • Runs on AAA batteries
  • Easy to setup

What We Don’t Like

  • Basic build quality

Auvon Rechargeable Motion Sensor Night Light

The Auvon motion sensor light addresses one of the major limitations of the one above. Its sensor is inside the light’s compartment and doesn’t have a separate controller. You can attach the light via the built-in magnets and paste it on an iron surface. Or, you can stick the double-sided tape on the iron strip first.

Another advantage is that you cycle between three brightness modes and three lighting modes, depending on your preference. It uses a rechargeable battery and a single recharge buys you around 180 days of battery life (depending on your usage).

What We Like

  • Three lighting modes
  • Decent battery life

What We Don’t Like

  • Not very sturdy

Joyzy Automatic Motion Sensor Lighting

The Joyzy automatic lights are for you if you have a large closet. It’s 13 inches long and lights up a considerable portion in one go. The light strip has a curved surface, making it aesthetically pleasing to look at.

The lights are bright and can go up to 6000k color temperature. The light doesn’t change color, though. Like the others in this list, it’s also a stick-on light. The company provides a simple USB cable to refuel the light when the charge goes out.

What We Like

  • Easy to install
  • Bright light

What We Don’t Like

  • USB cable is short

AMIR Motion Sensor Light

The AMIR light is the best-value automated closet light that you can buy. The company ships a pack of 6, and it’s a pretty good deal for the price. These little hockey-puck lights have an adhesive back, which lets you stick them just about anywhere.

The lights are bright enough to let you see everything. However, if you are looking for flashlight-like brightness, these are not the ones for you. If you are looking for affordable motion lights and have quite a few closet spaces to light up, these should be in your shopping bag. And hey, these are AAA battery-powered devices.

What We Like

  • Decent brightness
  • Good motion sensing

What We Don’t Like

  • Slightly expensive

BHWMJDHY Rechargeable Closet Lights

The BHWMJDHY lights are a little more expensive than the counterparts above. But they bring a bright light to the table and a massive 2,500mAh battery. The latter ensures that you can light it without worrying about charging it frequently.

They are super easy to install and give out enough light. And to recharge, you simply need to plug a USB charging cable into it. The company claims that the lights can stay lit for 4 hours when fully charged. The BHWMJDHY lights are versatile and all you need is to find a place to stick them and be in the clear.

What We Like

  • Versatile design
  • Sleek design

What We Don’t Like

  • Average battery light

Lithonia Lighting FMMCL Closet Light

If you do not mind spending a few extra bucks, the Lithonia FMMCL light is one of your best options. It’s small and compact and can be perched about just about anywhere, including the top of your closet space.

The light is bright and should easily light up your closet space. Unlike the one above, installation is a tad challenging. Since it needs continuous power, you’ll have to install it like a typical electrical fixture. That said, the sensitivity and the brightness work as advertised.

What We Like

  • Small and compact
  • Bright light

What We Don’t Like

  • Expensive
