the lamp actually work perfectly. I have 2 of these lamps in use. Wardrobe and pantry. On average, the lamps thus burn about 1 minute twice a day. After no more than 2 to 3 months, the batteries are exhausted. (3xAAA) On the LED bulbs can not lie, I suppose the motion sensor is the power-hungry. Alternatively, should you use the simple LED lamps with pushbutton, this last at least 2 years (my experience value). These bulbs cost only one-third.
