Over Lite
Over Lite is a versatile motion sensor activated light, which can be mounted on a ceiling or wall without the hassle of complicated wiring. It is meant to be installed in a dark space, as the light sensor is sensitive to motion only if it is installed somewhere with little to no light. Motion can be detected up to fifteen feet, which can be useful for homes with high vaulted ceilings. This is a new way to light your home using state of the art motion and light sensor technology.
Total Cost Breakdown
The cost of Over Lite is $19.99 plus $6.99 shipping, for a total price of $26.98.
Price is from As Seen on TV Commercial page: buyoverlite.com
How It Works
It is powered by a 24 LED power bulb, which casts out 300 Lumens of soft white light when activated. The fixture is battery powered by two AA batteries and does not need any wiring or a nearby outlet. This device can furnish a space in two ways, either a peel and stick adhesive can be installed with provided screw mount hardware. The placement of the light fixture does not only belong in the home but can also be used outdoors. Over Lite possesses weather resistant technology meaning that it can withstand the elements such as rain, snow or wind.

Positive Aspects
- Versatile Placement
Over Lite can be placed in whatever place needs a little bit more light. This can extend to deep cabinets, large pantries, shadowy showers, or less frequented places such as sheds, attics, or basements. The product's features can help with safety in and around the house with strategic placement over stairs, sidewalks up to the house, or any uneven surfaces needing extra visibility. Being weather resistant, it is easier to detect any weather-related hazards such as ice, or any slippery surface leading up to the house.
- Energy Efficient
Over Lite cannot be accidentally left on because it turns off twenty seconds after it's the last detection of motion in its fifteen feet radius. It will not be draining power from outlets, and neither is it wired into the electrical system of the home. The battery operated nature of the product is economical and energy efficient.
- Easy To Install
The installation of an Over Lite does not require any extensive knowledge of electrical wiring, unlike installing a standard household light bulb. You do not need any extra tools to get the light in the desired place. Instead, it is installed by a simple and durable adhesive or, if desired, mounting hardware if the surface requires that set up instead. The company gives you two options of installation to make sure that it can be hung in any space.
- Light Sensor Technology
The light sensor ensures that the switching on and off of lights is not one more thing to remember, because of its built-in intuitive motion sensor. The motion sensor anticipates your presence in the room and adjusts accordingly to you either entering or exiting the room.
- No External Electrical Work
It does not need a light switch, therefore the switch will not be awkwardly placed to either be integrated into the electrical system or be close to an outlet. You won't have to use a bulky extension cord to reach the nearest outlet, which could be far away.
Concerns
- Necessary Movement For Light
It must be noted that for the light to stay engaged there must be some form of movement for the sensor to register. This could cause problems if the person in the room is not in a state of movement and would need to, every twenty seconds, re-engage the light.
- Customer Assurance
Over Lite at this moment in time does not offer a manufacturer warranty for their product. Over Lite does not possess a product certification.
How it's Different from Competitors
Over Lite needs no external power source to operate. It requires no interaction except the entering and exiting in and out of a room. There is no light switch to flip or any touch required to engage the light. Many motion sensor lights are installed outside of a home for precautionary and safety aspects, but many can involve complicated wiring. This product can ensure safety while offering no hassle lighting installation.
Save Time
You do not need to fumble for light switches every time you want to enter a particular space. Full illumination is offered at all times so that you can get done exactly what you need to and find everything quickly. Due to the battery saving technology, you will not have to regularly replace light bulbs.
Save Money
The Over Lite installation process does not require you to hire an electrician, handyman, or an expert to handle this matter. This is a product that you can install on your own without paying someone due to the accessible and straightforward hardware and adhesive options provided.
How to Use (Step by Step)
- Choose Adhesive
Examine surface you want to mount your light on and decide whether an adhesive or mounting hardware is needed.
- Install Over Lite
Choose a position which will ensure that a maximum amount of light can be cast from the fixture. Use chosen adhesive to mount onto the surface.
- Test Light
Walk by your Over Lite to see if it responds to your motion; if it does you have successfully installed the product.

Not Working as Advertised
The light worked a couple of times correctly but then my batteries were dead at the next use (in my yard she'd) and so replaced the batteries and found the reason for short battery life - the unit is staying on once activated. Can't recommend the product when I see other reviews and when I have other brand motion-sensing lights that have worked well for 2 years now.

Great Solution, Battery Killer
This would be a much better product if it had an ac adapter. It eats batteries pretty quick. I think it's because the motion detector is always on.
I turned the light to the lowest setting, and I'm completely draining 4 Duracell's a month. So at a cost of $50 to $100 a year to use.

IN THE SHOWER?
It only works in a shower if you turn your bathroom lights completely off. They should not advertise for that purpose.

Does not Work
This light is my second one, Bought at Home Depot, returned the first. Returned the first because it didn’t work as advertised. Now, returning the second. The light stops working the minute it is put into place on the ceiling. Won’t buy this product again!

Excellent Product (so Far)
I LOVE this product. Had it for 8 months, No problems whatsoever.
Works perfectly in our breezeway. And on another note, (with respect to braindead people) who don’t seem to realize that every now a then. You’re BOUND to catch a fluke whereby something happened in processing. It HAPPENS! But don’t knock a product because for some strange reason it crapped out. Exchange the damn thing or get a refund. Use your head people. Oh, and for those of whom say they can't get a refund, again. Use your head and shop elsewhere if THAT is THAT STORE's policy. And in closing. NO, I’m NOT employed by the said company.

Doesn't Even Pretend to Work as it Should
Bought at Menards with high hopes, not so much. Light came on when batteries installed and that's it. We have tried everything to get these to work and to no avail. Tried to return and they would not take them back or replace. These are a joke and not cheap. DO NOT buy them! Can't believe we're stuck with these pieces of crap!

Use of Magnet Instead of Tape or Screws?
I would like to stick a magnet to the peel & stick as the ceiling is a double-hung type with metal ribs I do not want to Mark up this area. Will a magnet on top of the peel & Stick stop the function of my light?

Great Product
I purchased this item at Canadian Tire for $14.99 with low expectations. I was surprised to find that it worked extremely well. Quite bright. The sensor worked well during evening and night. Does not light during daylight /brighter hours which makes sense. I'm hoping it will continue to work well. Would recommend.
