Stick Up Bulb is the amazing wireless light bulb that installs anywhere, requires no wiring or an electrician to install and provides lighting whenever you need it. Just peel and stick the base then slide in this revolutionary light bulb. That's all you have to do to light up your closets, stairwells, and anywhere that you need light. Use it outdoors in your shed or under your patio umbrella to provide lighting during the evening. It's also portable, just slide the bulb out of its base, so it's great whenever you need to carry light, such as in a power outage. Designed for child safety - bulb remains cool to the touch

Ok once bulbs are upgraded November 25, 2008
David J. Kricker (Massachusetts, USA)
I got these knowing the bulbs were useless and intending
to replace them with LEDs. Once this is done, the lights
are acceptably bright and last reasonably long with four
AA cells. According to my calculations, the battery life
should be about 25 times greater with the LEDs.
Why the vendor has been unable to figure this out is beyond me.

Once the bulb goes you have to pay almost as much to replace it as the entire unit. I threw it away.
Burns through bulbs and batteries! June 7, 2008
Silicon Ghost (USA)
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.
LOVE my Stick Up Bulbs May 18, 2008
Beverley J. Davis (Camano Island, Wa)
I LOVE my stick up bulbs! I have them everywhere! I only got one that the switch is apparently bad on so the batteries go dead quickly. The others have a long battery life and are so handy in the closets, under the sink, at the front door for when you were gone longer than you thought you would be so you didn't turn on the porch light. Pull the string and see where to insert your key! Good for beside the bed and in each room of the house for when the power goes out at night. (which is often where I live).
And if you don't like the bare bulb look you can clamp on one of those cute little clamp-on shades to match your room colors. (It does diminish the light though so it's a trade-off). I wouldn't want to be without them!
Westinghouse Stick Up Bulb May 5, 2008
Teri I. Layer (Marietta, GA)
I love this bulb. It is working out great for my closet that has no electricity in it. Just remember to turn it off as soon as you are finished because it will eat up batteries. You may want to have an extra replacement bulb handy, when mine burned out it took 2 months to get one.
