Product details

The slim design with clean lines makes the lighting easy to place wherever you like in the home, even inside bathroom cabinets and drawers.

Suitable for use in confined spaces, such as cabinets and closets, as the LED light source only emits low heat.

Easy to place wherever you like, even in drawers, since the lighting is battery operated and rechargeable.

The sensor reacts to your body movements at a distance of 1.5 m and automatically turns the light off after 60 seconds, should you forget to close the door or drawer.

You can light up even the smallest space in your home and put it to practical use with this super-slim lamp.

Easy to charge. You just remove the lighting, charge the batteries with a USB-C cable and click it back in place.

The lighting strip brightens up the inside of your drawers and makes it easy to see and find what you need.

The light switches on and off automatically when you open or close the drawer so no energy is wasted.

You can use the lamp horizontally or vertically.

Easy to install inside the wardrobe frame – at the top or under a shelf by using the included fittings.

The lighting's passive infrared sensor (PIR) reacts to body movements and heat and automatically turns the light on when you open the wardrobe or drawer. You can even choose to switch on/off manually.

Reviews

Poor Quality Anonymous reviewerThe first thing I noticed was how fiddly it is to remove then reinstall the battery covers. Once the lights were set to automatic mode neither would switch off which would render the battery life useless. 1
GoodAnonymous reviewerWorks well but uses loads of battery5
GoodAnonymous reviewerPerfect but uses a lot of battery5
Love it!Anonymous reviewerI love this light. I have an old built in wardrobe with sliding doors and it was always so dark inside (the wardrobe is built in a wall). No issues the sensor works well and the battery charge is very good. I have not had to charge them yet. I highly recommend using IKEA rechargeable batteries though. I’m gonna get more for two more wardrobes5
If only battery lastedAnonymous reviewerGives you a nice warm light but it needs charging so frequently. We’ve bought 4 of these, 1 small, 2 medium size and one large. 3 of them placed in wardrobes, they last about 3 weeks. Large one is placed under the kitchen cupboard and it needs charging every 2-3 days. Before that we were using similar ones from a budget supermarket and I Don’t even remember if I ever had to charge them, they lasted more than a year. Only reason I want to keep them is the warmth of the light but I don’t think it’s useful when you have to charge them every month2
GreatAnonymous reviewerJust what I needed in my cupboard for my early starts5
Elevate your wardrobeAnonymous reviewerExcellent value for money, perfect for the darker mornings to find everything you need5
Great motion activated lightsAnonymous reviewerWorks well switching light on as person approaches. Bought 6 months ago with the IKEA recommended batteries for elderly relation to illuminate a dark corridor area. Only needs recharging approx every 7-8 weeks. Far superior to previous cheap EBay purchases. 5
Handy little lightAnonymous reviewerI Like this little light, I have put it in a cupboard and it’s very useful, not really that bright but ok for a cupboard and it’s nice that it is motion activated 5
Great idea but…Anonymous reviewerI bought about 6 of these for various cupboards, wardrobes etc. putting the batteries in is a bit challenging. Haven’t charged yet as hesitate to put in situ as haven’t finished painting. However, nice level of light3
Good productAnonymous reviewerGood product very bright but do need charging a lot because run out quite quickly 4
Led 300mm long lightAnonymous reviewerFantastic so good and the quality is very good. 5
Partially productive Anonymous reviewerCould do with a strip of paper or something to mark out the area to place screws on the area you want to fit it too3
Great for cupboard lights Anonymous reviewerI love these . I have them in our new wardrobe and my kitchen cabinets. The turn on when I open door and I only need to charge every 4 or 5 weeks. Great item I'll be getting some more. I'm not sure why others have an issue. I have 6 and no issues 5
Good lights...butAnonymous reviewerThese are great light that can be turned onto auto, so that when you open your wardrobe doors they automatically come on, but you need to make sure they are both mounted in the centre, but instead slightly off centre in the wardrobe, otherwise the lights think you have opened the doors if there is a slight gap and someone walks by, other than that, they are good, hence 4 stars.4
Two weeks in and working wellAnonymous reviewerpurchased both a 30 & a 50 cm light and installed in two cupboards. reading the reviews i first used standard AA batteries, 3 for the 50cm unit and 2 for the 30cm unit. I also used double sided velcro tape in order to mount as I was unsure as to unit size effectiveness in location. Units have been operating well and as suggested on the Web site without issues. I use them on auto, so they come on when the door is opened and or when sensing motion if doors are not closed after initially being tripped. I did purchase brand named rechargeable batteries and fitted these into the units and they have both been working as expected for the last two weeks without fault, and I might add, without requiring to the batteries to be recharged. I will note that I charged the batteries to full utilizing the USB C fitting in the light units, this initially did take time to charge, not sure if a dedicated battery charger would be quicker, but dedicated battery charger unit is not required.5
Quality product and made the room look good as in display the clothes Anonymous reviewerThe battery needs to be beside location, also advise getting rechargeable battery. Simply standard ones just don’t last long in these lights4
Complete waste of money Anonymous reviewerI bought 3 of them , one big and two small, the bigger one working well for a month , then I tried to change the batteries and wasn’t working ! You are charging it and then lasts 1 minute ! Same with the other small ones ! Completely waste of money ! I should have read the reviews 1
UnusableAnonymous reviewerThis arrived looking in good order but try as I might the screw on the battery cover would not undo. Very poor quality. A one off? or a regular occurrence? I don't know.1
Rubbish battery lifeAnonymous reviewerRubbish battery life, will cost a fortune in batteries 1

My goal with KÖLVATTEN battery-operated lighting was to create a cordless lamp that is easy to install, use and charge with a standard USB-C cable, regardless of whether it sits in a wardrobe or in a drawer. The shape follows the function to create space for the batteries and the correct angle for the LED light, without looking too technical. I hope you appreciate the simplicity of the lamp.
