Lighting
Lighting at 1800Doorbell covers four kinds of products: flameless LED window candles, battery-operated LED lights, lighting controls, and touch remotes for seasonal string lights.
Flameless candles, battery lights, and remote controls
This section is the decorative and seasonal lighting we carry alongside the doorbells: flameless LED window candles that give the look of candlelight without an open flame, battery-operated LED lights for places where running wire is awkward, and controls that switch a lamp or a display without a wall switch.
If you arrived looking for a doorbell with a light in it, that is a lighted push button and it lives under doorbell buttons rather than here. Otherwise, pick a section below.
Lighting at 1800Doorbell covers four kinds of products: flameless LED window candles, battery-operated LED lights, lighting controls, and touch remotes for seasonal string lights. Most of them solve one of two problems: there is no wiring where you want light, or the light you have is hard to reach to switch on and off.
Common uses
- Closets, pantries and cabinets with no fixture: battery closet lights and mini spotlights
- Deck steps, railings and walkways: battery deck marker lights that come on at dusk
- Holiday windows: flameless LED window candles with a dusk-to-dawn sensor
- Porch, coach and post lights that should come on at dusk: screw-in light controls
- Christmas trees with a plug that is hard to reach: a touch-control ornament
Battery or plug-in
Battery lights mount anywhere with screws or tape and need no outlet, but you will change batteries. Auto shut-off, motion sensors and low-glow modes stretch battery life. Plug-in and screw-in products run on household power, so there are no batteries to change, but they need an outlet or an existing fixture.
Timers and automatic switching
Many of these products switch themselves. A photocell turns a light on at dusk and off at dawn, a motion sensor turns it on when someone walks by, and some battery lights shut off after a set time. If you want a light on every evening, a dusk-to-dawn sensor often does the job of a timer and adjusts with the seasons on its own.
