4AA LED motion-detector strip $7.99

Princess auto has so many good deals that it's nearly impossible to report on all of them,
much less to even keep up with them.

I tend to concentrate mostly on items which interest me: electronics and LED lights (which
PA has tons of). Also, items which I acquire and have a chance to test out, or at least look
at in-store and evaluate quality, usefulness, features etc.

To start:

4AA-powered motion sensing LED strip light for $7.99, on sale until Nov. 8 (today).

Light brightness/tint is good, one brightness level (high), Motion detection works well.
On-time is about 30 seconds. Small slide switch on the end selects ON/OFF/AUTO(detect) but
not the most convenient.

I've had one open, no surprises. Build quality good, except two small (strong) disk magnets
attached to the back came off, but easily fixed with a few drops of super-glue.

Light is attached to steel post in basement and has worked well over the past week.

Based on current drain, AAs should provide 4-5 hours overall run-time. I also measured standby
current at about 0.02mA (20 microamps) which is good; some products with PIR sensors or IR
remotes run much higher which can run batteries down faster.
