I spray painted these red and used them on my son's Halloween costume as tail lights!

[@jenniferschrader3188]

Brilliant!

[@mikesylvester8850]

My batteries hv done good so far

[@terryrodriguez6209]

Brilliant idea 💡

[@goodmorningsundaymorning4533]

@Kristian Dallas that's a scam.

[@maryswisher3358]

For fun I bought these lights to put on the ceiling of each floor of my granddaughter's dollhouse. It is about 4 ft. high and has three floors. She was so excited to be able to use the lights in play like she does in her home.

[@suemiller8732]

I did this to my girls doll house, and I need to replace them cause the connecting peice broke. Any ideas on how to remove without tearing up her doll house?

[@tracyv9897]

I used these in my kids playhouse!

[@MomOf2Miracles]

My husband has a truck and the bed doesn't have lights, I have one on each side of the tailgate to be able to see at night. Works great!

[@christellew.8664]

My husband have a truck too! I’ll check if he need it too!

[@beckyhall9546]

You can add a clothes pin to the back of the light and add it to your child’s homemade fort (indoors or out). Throw in pillows and stuffed animals and it’s bright enough for a perfect reading nook to encourage reading, or add a lap desk for homework or other super secret projects.

[@craftyluna6381]

So, I work in a school, and back in the before times the kids did a "living museum" where they had to be historical figures, and parents would come to each station to see their presentations. I bought a bunch of these push lights, took them all the way apart, and printed out little "play" buttons to put behind the clear plastic. The kids would be frozen in place like a statue and the parent would come up and push "play" and the kid would "come to life" and start their presentation. It was super cute! However, having to buy like 80 of these lights for the whole class, about 1/3 just wouldn't work straight out of the package, so we had to buy a bunch extra.

[@gwendorphins7]

Dollar tree you can exchange defective items for good ones has ti be same product

[@shaunashaw4343]

My kids use to do this!! It was called Living Statues and the librarian was the one who ran the show. Idk where you teach but we are in Mesquite, Texas. My daughter's are now 20 and 21 and did this kindergarten through like 5th grade.

[@daphnechin5846]

I tend to find humor in the oddest of places. Therefore, "back in the before times" gave me a great chuckle.

[@holyexperience1976]

My son did this in 8th grade I think. 7th or 8th, Perty sure 8th. Only, it was putting coins in bucket. He chose to be Henry Ford.

[@alicecrysler6266]

What a great idea !!!

[@domarigavjusmom]

I love these ideas! Those lights are so versatile. Before I had a circle light for videos I took a DT foam wreath form, stuck a few on it, glued it to a DT paper towel holder and voila! I had a circle light and I could adjust the lighting by how many I turned on at a time. It works great!

[@tammyleeproductions3562]

Great idea! Wish I could see it!!

[@SlickNic444]

Huh? Pics

[@flossingdebi]

I'm going to copy your idea!! Thanks for sharing.

[@jennawildah6514]

Now that is some great ingenuity! You go MacGyver! ;)

[@eileene]

Wow.... ingenuous circle light with DT push lights

[@BreckGirl04]

I went to my Dollar Tree after watching this today and they were ALL sold out! You must have a lot of fans in Michigan.

[@gingereiss9099]

I can rarely find them near me.

[@dewhitaker1]

Me too. I was so excited and inspired after watching a previous video of yours that I ran (literally drove right away) to my local dollar tree & nothing. Went to two more dolllar trees and they were out is well. I live in DFW area of Texas. Where can I get these handy little lights? They would have been super handy during our rolling blackouts.

[@rrrrrfffff]

@@dewhitaker1 go to DollarTree.com and search for "push lights". You have to buy in bulk if you order on the website, but having extras on hand is nice.

[@billmonson9986]

GO BLUE!! LOL :)

[@Dexy83]

I keep one of these lights in my car with my dog leash. Then I always have light for dog walking, poop pick up at night, etc. Plus, it's helpful seeing in the back seat. I also put a carabiner on the car light, as well as the light for going to my basement. I use the clip through my belt loop, or a hair tie on my wrist, basically making it hands free m

[@beckyleejohnson3624]

This video was super helpful and really sparked some ideas. Now I need to go to Dollar Tree...

[@kdbbn8]

organized under kitchen, !/2 bath, and Master sinks. Told hubby my biggest issue was seeing because it was so dark. I put at least 2 in each cabinet and boy what a difference it made. Now that I have watched your video, I am going to keep on going to light dim areas.

[@lorelynleisure4048]

Stick them in your shower for extra light! My shower is always darker than I'd like, thank you for the ideas!

[@Thenorthwesttails]

Is it water proof?

[@lorelynleisure4048]

@@Thenorthwesttails I doubt it, I was thinking of sticking it where it wouldn't get wet.

[@Katt_Geo]

Too much steam and water splashes .. If your bathroom itself is well lit, use a see through shower curtain .. Works great for letting light in.

[@RedHotTamale91]

So clever hiding them in the crate!

[@womanofacertainage5892]

100%!! Love that one!

[@mindiherren3103]

Loved this one too!

[@snooooopycomehome]

I have some of those crates. Totally going that for downstairs supply closet

[@justusleftiescheryl2747]

Ooh I bought these several years ago specifically for under the counter where my Keurig is. Love the kickstand feature. The ones I bought didn’t have that. And yes they are still going strong.

[@jillburgess8604]

I have them hidden behind curtains in each room so that when storms knock out the electricity, I have light in each room.

[@terryrodriguez6209]

Brilliant idea 💡

[@jojomojo6569]

Genius!

[@Iloveabargain]

What a bright idea. sorry, couldn’t resist.

[@dindog22]

good to have around in case of a power outtage

[@beccaplans]

Genius!

Yep! We keep one in/on each nightstand and one in each bathroom so they're ready to go if the power goes out in the middle of the night.

[@kristinanoall]

Great idea!!! Thank you.👋

[@deyaeliza]

I use them for the ceilings of my daughter's 3 story doll house as lighting !

🙏😄🙌!

[@cmck2021]

So many teens and preteens would be gaga over this one! 💡💡💡💡

[@peggyk.738]

Not to burst your bubble, but the money spent on batteries could buy a decent vanity mirror from Amazon.

[@ChibiChula]

@@peggyk.738 True, but if you don't have an electric outlet near where you want the mirror, it's a great alternative, even if you should splurge a bit and get rechargeable batteries. 😅

[@kristysk81]

Yes! I've wanted to use it in our bathroom. If I turn on the power the light and the vent turns on together. Sometimes I want only the light at night. This is a great idea!

[@echogirdler]

Thanks so much for starting my Dollar Tree addiction. I immediately ran out, purchased and mounted 3....now I need more!

[@prettyqueen573]

This video came at the perfect time. I was literally looking at buying a $50 floor lamp to help me look brighter on zoom calls. Thank you ☺️

[@HermioneLMS]

We’ve used these extensively onstage to create little magical moments of light in a show, shining out of a cauldron or a suitcase, or held in a hand, we love them.

[@beth9077]

It’s also a great light for sewing machines that have poor lighting. 😉

[@rrrrrfffff]

So smart!

[@lisamartin3346]

Will have to check CVS after Halloween. Thanks for the tip!

[@cltinturkey]

Super timely! My good friend has taken up sewing in a big way, including tailored suits. She does a ton of hand sewing and her house has poor lighting. I'm going to give her a basket of these and a link to your video. Merry Christmas!!!

[@EmpressSolstice]

I have used one of these lights in a hall closet with no light fixture for over a year with the same batteries. As long as you don't keep the lights on continually and use quality batteries(not from Dollar Tree) , you won't need to change them often

[@debityger4458]

Please tell people they have to add 3 AAA bateries

[@thecatatemyhomework]

@@debityger4458 she shows that in the video. She takes off the back of it and shows that.

True. I’ve been using mine about 8 months now and the same batteries are going strong!

I love these little lights but I never thought of putting them in the lil crates ! That is a total game changer! I have a hallway that has no lights and no plug ins for lamps... so this is a fantastic option! Thank you.

[@fphome7229]

I stick these on the back of my bedside table for a quick light at night.

[@maryswisher3358]

My dadhastroubleseeing and so I added these lights to the inside cabinet doors in his kitchen. He can now easily find things.

[@TheSmilingTabbyStickers]

Also great to bring if traveling with a kid. Good night lite

I love the wooden crate mountain picture idea it looks so cute.

[@jatraveler1277]

Great idea... I put the light on my lanp that never had a long enough cord...AMAZING now I can knit in a former dark area. 👍

[@macdaiddavidson8051]

When my son was little (a very long time ago) he liked to play under my big desk and I used those to light up the space and with a nice rug and toys he felt like he had a really neat fort to play in.

[@theeluannesantos]

I hope I can find a bunch of these lights when I go to DT on Tuesday. I have a lot of places I need lighting.

[@Newtonheimer]

I love these lights!!! I used them in the storage area underneath our RV and in the RV pantry where there were no lights at all! Now we can retrieve what we need without using a flashlight! ❤️

[@sherrycisneros7028]

These are also great for lighting inside a large safe. I have a couple in our hallway as path lighting for my 88 yr old mother for those late night bathroom trips.

[@pateisele4513]

Omg! This has got to be one of the absolute best videos! They were all great ideas. Gotta go buy out my Dollar Tree. Love the closet, under counter, wall sconce, and portable lamp. Can't wait to go. Thanks so much! You've just fixed a bunch of problems.

[@susanpeterson9558]

I used them under my basement stairs in my storage area. Great lighting for a very dark area. Super cool and cost affective.

[@annmeyer2854]

I’m going to order them at dollar tree right now. Thank you for the awesome common sense suggestions!

[@schill2002]

My exact thoughts on camping too lol. Why would I sleep in a tent with mosquitoes when I don’t have to? 😆

[@dwandascott3947]

I am stuck on her saying it’s wet for some reason. 😂😂😂 girl did you sleep alone. If it’s wet you may want tell your sleep mate to watch it next time. Sorry just wondering how things got wet 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏼‍♂️

[@jo.wilkinson]

I love those things, I have a ton of them! I also use them to light up the stairs. The vanity mirror you made was cool!🙂

[@pamalarush5768]

I put a strong magnet on the sticky on the back and it sticks to my door, but I can stick it to anything metal. If I need to stick it somewhere that isn't used with magnets, I can use the little stand.

[@ashiapowell]

I loooooove that wooden crate idea. I could use that over my breakfast bar for lighting

Now I need to do to DT and get some if these! Love the Zoom hack!

[@thecatatemyhomework]

If you use it for a zoom type call be careful. They can be really blinding if you look straight at them, and I suspect annoying if they are clipped to the top of a laptop.

[@pattineal7375]

Really good for the inside of dark cabinets too! And just for the record..... I hate camping too! As women, we end up still having to do all the work we do at home only it is 10 times harder to do!

[@alicecrysler6266]

You sure got that right !!! I like going out to visit at a camp site like when friends are camping ....... enjoy all the outdoors for the day ........fishing , hiking , swimming , bbqing , playing cards , listen to music , drinking a couple beers 🍻 , and camp fire and s'mores ........ And go home at about midnight ...... 🥴

I vend at outdoor events, which have us camping behind our booth for a week. We use these lights in both tents. By the sleeping bags, by the doors and in the camp kitchens. You're right, they're priceless.

[@hornsandahalo1]

OMG the wall sconce is the perfect solution for the issue we have had since moving in! Our couches are against perpendicular walls, and the only overhead light is in the center of the living room, so its tough to read anything while sitting on the couches.

[@raziraz87]

We have a retro camper. It had 2 small lights that were awful!!! We have a long light bar that we mounted. Our river lot doesn't have electricity tho. So when we need the light bar we would have to power up the generator first. I bought some electric lanterns. I also added the push lights under the cabinets and inside the cabinets for easy lighting late at night or early in the morning. It also makes it easy during the day when I'm just running into the camper to grab something really quick. Our tent has lighting alrdy built in that can run off of battery or electricity. If it didn't this would be a great item to keep handy.
