4 out of 5 Stars  Concept 101 review - July 21, 2003
By: Sheila B. Libertyville, IL
This light is attractive and looks like it is worth a lot more then what you actually pay for it. It is easy to assemble and very convenient to use. The only feedback I have on this light is that the actual light out-put is not very impressive, perhaps if a stronger bulb was used this would solve that problem. If it is being used for decorative purposes only then this may not be an issue.

5 out of 5 Stars  Watt a Concept!!! - September 15, 2001
By: Michael F. Janczecki Plantation, FL
This is the best product since sliced bread!....well....almost....Now I can finally get rid of the "Mickey Mouse" re-chargeable cordless mini-lights I've been using for years. The Concept Picture Light delivers 100% on all counts, especially stronger wattage! I was concerned about attaching it directly to the frame, but it worked perfectly! Your shipping-included price saved me about $20.00 per light vis-a-vis other distributors. And living in South Florida, it can't hurt to have some extra battery-operated lights around during hurricane season. Thank You!

What a great solution to the reading light problem! We used this in a guest room that has no space for bed side tables. How nice to not have to worry about cords and installation.

This light solved our lighting problem perfectly -- a small space with no wiring over a picture that desperately needed illumination.
just be sure to bolt it on tightly since those batteries can get heavy.

1 out of 5 Stars  Poor Picture Light System - October 10, 2008
By: F. RICK H. IRVINE, CA
Quality
Setup
Value
The idea is great. Unfortunately the construction of the electronics is exceptionally poor. The electronics, made in China, does not control the unit as advertised. The only control over th elight is the on off switch . The dimmer function does not operate and the remote feature is worthless.
It would have been better to buy some other, traditional light and install it with a wired, remote switch.

5 out of 5 Stars  At Last... a Cordles Art Light that works for hours and hours! - August 27, 2001
By: James B. D. Los Angeles, CA
A little light for your painting...without the ugly cord...sounds simple enough. But after reviewing dozens of catalogs and internet sites I was about to give up...then I discovered The Concept - 101! I was so impressed that I ordered four of them right away. I was even more impressed when I received them, unpacked them, mounted them on my paintings, loaded in the batteries, and turned down the lights. Wow! Dark corners came to life and previously unseen details emerged. Plus at an estimated 40 hours of battery life, I can use these several hours at a time when I have guests. I'll definitely be ordering more soon.

The small light does an outstanding job of providing light for an 18 inch picture. The light size does not detract from the picture and is very attractive. Color is excellent and also does not detract from the picture. We do not have it on all the time but does serve to highlight this picture when entertaining.

I am really happy with the battery operated picture lights that I ordered. They are wonderful for the artwork that is in my stairwell. I could never figure out how I was going to use the picture lighting and didn't want to long run cords up the stairs. Besides that, the wall is totally brick under the plaster!Thank you so much,

This easily installed picture light has enhanced the intended painting extremely well. Intensity is just right for our painting and the whole effect has improved our room ambiance. Will very likely be ordering another one shortly. Regular updates re shipping status was also a bonus and product was shipped on time.

We have purchased other picture lights before from other companies and had been pleased. This one was not put together well. The light flickers and usually won't even go on. It is not stable and wont even stay straight over the picture.

While the product looks nice, it is actually very heavy once the batteries are put in...and the batteries will need to be changed fairly often...also for such a large lamp it does not cast enough light to cover a larger painting.

The Twinspot cordless reading lamp we ordered does not produce enough light. We had to return it.

By: Cindy R. Virginia Beach, VA

This was a great buy! The light does its job. The assembly was simple, but I do recommend attaching it to the actual frame of the picture- it's much easier that way. Otherwise, you need two people to attach it to the wall, and it is a bit heavy with the batteries, so you will need the plastic holders. Overall, I am happy with my purchse, and I have gotten many compliments on my artwork. Delivery was quick too! I will probably order more.

This product has very little actual light that comes from the bulbs. I tried to get a higher wattage bulb and they do not work with this product. If you want it as a night light it is perfect but for reading it STINKS.

The light looks good, here comes the but, it is too light weight and my side the light fell out the first time I used it. My husband was pleased with the amount of light, I could not read with that low of a light and it glared on my Kindle. We are keeping it because now there are holes in the wall below my pictures and it is okay for my husband.

I did not want to go through the hassle of wiring in order to be able to light a large frame, this battery operated picture light is good value for the money. Although the light is not as bright as one that would actually be AC operated, it provides decent light and gets the job done. Easy installation.
