Light up any small space easily with the Sylvania DOT-it® LED Linear Swivel Light. It can mount to almost any surface using the built in hook and loop holes or via the optional self-adhesive magnetic or Velcro strips. The bright white LEDs are mounted in a linear housing over six inches long creating a broad lighted area. The light has 90° or rotation from side to side so you can direct lighting where you need it most. A touch sensor takes only a very light contact with the press of a finger to turn the tap light on or off. Stick one in a kitchen cabinet or pantry and another under kitchen cabinets for a brighter workspace. This battery-powered LED light is ideal for use in garages, sheds, inside your car or RV, outdoors, in your boat, as safety lighting or even during blackouts.
