I've been using three of these for a year now and I think they're
great. One is mounted inside the "pantry" door (under the sink) in my
westy as it solves the problem of rooting around for packages in the
dark. Everything else can wait till daylight, I haven't tried one in
the clothes closet yet.

The other two are mounted straight down under the rear cabinet to
illuminate our "reading" place. Guess what... this ROCKS as a way to
illuminate the engine compartment when you need more light.

The only problem I've had is that during the hottest of days, the
horizontally-mounted lights can fall down. I've never had one let go
of a wall or door surface no matter how hot it's gotten.

On a vaguely related noted, I recently bought a nice fan at Walmart
that takes eight D-cells and is said to run for 24 hours on them. It
moves a lot of air, is quiet, and is adjustable and even has a
hanging hook. It can sit in the seat beside you and blow lots of air
as you drive, and I suspect and hope it will keep air moving in the
whole van on warmish nights.
