Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Westinghouse Stick Up Bulb by Telebrands
Customer Review: BRIGHT idea!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been trying to find something like this but everything I tried just wasn't very bright. But the StickUp bulb is actually bright. About 10 times brighter than those little discs from Sylvania.
Now if they could just make one that looks a little fancier. Still I like it because it's actually bright.
Customer Review: Back Up Bulb
Summary: 4 Stars
We all need a little light whenever we feel we've lost the power in our home, or a little light just to help us into those hard to reach places. That is where the Stick Up Bulb comes in handy. This bulb is a very convient, and easy to use device, that adds a little light, without the need of electric wires or plugs. It is simple and easy to hookup onto your walls, and if you need to take it off, it just just simply slides off the base and you can carry it with you. I like it because it is inexpensive, and really a great idea for any home big or small. I definitely recommend this a whole lot.

Customer Review: Burns through bulbs and batteries!
Summary: 1 Stars
The concept and form factor of this item is great. The electronics are the only reason it does not get a top rating. It WILL burn through light bulbs and batteries VERY fast. If you used this very briefly every day in a closet, it will more than likely need a bulb replacement within a couple weeks.
After getting fed up with replacing bulbs and batteries (I have 3 of these), I decided to take things into my own hands. I went to a local hardware store and purchased a 9 LED high output flashlight rated for 16 hours of continuous use on 3 AA batteries. It was about $6. After about 30 min of hacking I had a completely new "bulb" running on 3 AA batteries instead of 4 with greatly increased battery life, almost endless bulb life, and at least twice the brightness (if not more). I'm now very happy with my purchase. I may actually create a tutorial on how to do this for others that may be interested.
I still think this is a great concept. I just wish they would come out with a Rev 2 and get the electronics right.
Customer Review: Didn't Work for me
Summary: 1 Stars
This product my be useful for someone else but they didn't work for me. I bought them to provide light down my staircase so when you went down in the middle of night you wouldn't need to turn on the overhead light because it's so bright it would wake up my sons. But the first night I used it the bulb burnt out before I went back after 20/30 minutes. So the next time I use another one and the same thing happened.Customer Review: Don't be fooled
Summary: 1 Stars
Don't be fooled like I was. Total waste of money. Unlike the infomercial, the bulb does not light up a closet; it has the lighting capacity equivalent to a little candle, or worse. It also does not switch on when placed vertically against the wall; it only lights up with the bulb facing upwards. Terrible product - do not buy it.
