I love these picture lights! I bought two of them to put at the top of built-in shelving in my home office, and they are very classy looking. I have not had them for long enough to be able to say how long they last, but honestly, I don’t want to use them that often– – they are more of just an accent light. I like the fact that you can set a timer on them, and you can also adjust the brightness and the color of the light, so I think it would be easy to make them fit in any situation. They came with some kind of mounting plate that I couldn’t get to work, so I just used the holes that are on the back and put two screws in the shelf and hung them from the screws. It is easy to just pop them up and slide them off to take them down to charge. One remote control works for both of them, and I attached it to the wall next to the light switch with a command strip.
