By Ethan Cole
Updated November 5, 2026
BLS’s T01L is a single 14 inch light with a motion and light sensor that runs on three AA batteries or USB. This review covers the modes, power options, and what 180 lumens means in practice.
For other motion options, see our under cabinet lights with motion sensor guide.
Our Verdict
BLS T01L is a practical single light for closets and pantries. It is rated 4.4 stars on about 9,760 Amazon ratings at the time of review (November 4, 2026). It lists 180 lumens, so treat it as accent light rather than a counter task light.

The listing says 3 AA batteries last up to 6 months at 10 uses a day. It can also run on 5V USB with the supplied cable.

Safety note: under-cabinet lights connect to power by plug, batteries, or a hardwired connection to a household circuit. Use the power supply or cord that comes with the light, look for a UL or ETL mark, and do not exceed the rating on the label. Hardwired fixtures should be installed by a licensed electrician with the breaker off. Keep cords, batteries, and small parts away from young children, and follow the manual. Listings differ; we describe what each maker lists.
