Stick Up Bulbs Work But Have a Couple of Issues

November 11th, 2009 · No Comments

Stick Up Bulbs are a wireless light bulb that can be used in any room where you don’t have a ceiling light. This can be useful and a less expensive alternative to rewiring an older house in order to put a light fixture in a room or closet.

Some issues with Stick Up Bulbs

  • The Stick Up Bulb is probably equivalent to a 25 watt bulb. If you put it into a smaller area like a closet, you can light up you’re surroundings just enough to see your clothes.
  • You’ll go through many batteries. If you left the light on continuously the battery life lasts around two hours. If you shut the light off between uses the battery life lasts only a couple of weeks. It’s much less costly to use rechargeable batteries.
  • The light bulbs don’t last long and they are special bulbs that you can only replace from the company.
  • Once the light bulb goes some feel that it’s almost not worth it to pay $6 s/h for the 3 replacement bulbs the company offers. You can buy another Stick Up Bulb unit for $10.

Stick Up Bulb is a great concept but for $10 I guess I wouldn’t expect a this to be a high quality household gadget. You can pick one up at Bed Bath and Beyond for $10 bucks! Here’s another As Seen on TV item called Handy Switch.
