This OxyLED T-02S rechargeable motion sensing light promises to deliver at least 50,000 hours of LED light. That is usually the standard with LED lights.
The unboxed package has the following contents:
– the main LED light
– a USB cord
– an instruction manual
The OxyLED T-02S is powered by 20 LED lights that provide a decent output. It’s in the white light spectrum, which I prefer. They are brighter than yellow lights, which to me just makes you sleepy. I was going to include a photo with the lights in action, but my camera was not capturing it properly. I’ll try again when I get the chance. It can light up a dark room, I can tell you that.
This unit is apparently an upgrade to the T-O2 model. I’ve never had the previous version, so I can’t tell you the difference for sure. But what I can tell you is that this one has a motion sensor that is activated by infrared technology, if I understood the sales description properly — so it detects heat radiating from the body then turns on the light as needed. The sensor also detects whether there’s enough light in the room already, and if that’s the case, then it won’t turn on. To test this out, bring this inside the dark closet and activate it on. Then walk out the front yard of your house. You’ll notice the light will turn off. It may even turn off immediately, if there is enough ambient light in your room. It’s a good feature because it will save you on battery life as well as promotes longevity of the LED lights. The sensor is located in the middle of the unit, which you can see below. It’s the area in the middle with a circular object.
Here’s a closer look:
The OxyLED T-02S has a built-in 600mAH 3.7v lithium-ion battery. One of the conveniences of this unit is that there is no need to replace the battery: you can recharge the battery, as needed, using the included USB cord. Of course, this is only good for as long as the battery is able to accept a charge. When it gives up eventually, you’ll need to replace the battery, of course. But by that time, perhaps the 50,000 hours estimated lifespan usage would have been met.
While charging, you will notice a red light on the unit. The light will turn blue once the unit is fully charged.
After charging, don’t forget to turn on the unit to activate the motion sensing light. You can do this by sliding the little black button/knob on the side of the T-02S:
By the way, it’s got a 3M backing tape so that you can stick this light anywhere. I decided to not use the tape, so I can move the light at will. But that’s your own choice to make.
I still can’t decide whether to use this in my outdoor shed or keep in our room — or maybe I’ll just buy a new unit in addition to this one. It’s definitely useful! At this time, it has its uses in the master bedroom. I placed it in such a way where it detects a motion enough to give me adequate lighting for my late night bathroom breaks — without having to grope for the light switch in the dark! Will work great for the shed too, since most of the time I finish all the yard work by nightfall and need a source of light to put back everything in the shed.
The OxyLED motion sensing light has a 1-year warranty. I took a picture of the card, which also has contact info if any support was needed. That’s reassuring.
I recommend this OxyLED T-02S rechargeable motion sensing light, particularly because it’s rechargeable. If you are wondering when you can buy one, it’s currently being sold at Amazon at a 41 percent discount at the time of this writing.
The 3M mounting tape referred to is actually a removable strip with one side sticky and the other side smooth, because it’s a magnetic strip. So once you mount the strip where you want the light to be, and maybe let it alone overnight to make sure the bond is strong, you use it to attach the light in place. The sticky side is intended to be permanent; one reviewer said that when he decided he wanted to mount the light somewhere else, part of the wall came off when he removed the tape strip, so it’s a good idea to experiment; maybe use thin masking tape to mount the strip and then the light to see if it’s a good location.
