Which battery under-cabinet lights last longest per charge?
In motion mode, Ferswe and GOODEA both claim about 60 days.1, 5 ZioeYiue claims 8 to 50 days, MCGOR 7 to 45, and EZVALO's 13-inch bar 14 to 43.2, 3, 8
Always on, EZVALO's 13-inch bar claims up to 15 hours and its 10-inch bar about 11.2, 4 WTXPZM claims 15 hours at its highest setting, but it has no motion sensor.6
Motion mode days versus always-on hours
Motion mode counts only the seconds the light is on after each trigger. Most listings here set that at about 20 seconds.1, 3, 4 So the days depend on how often you walk past, and MCGOR says as much.3
Always-on hours matter if you work at the counter for a long time. Pick the mode you will use most, then compare that column.
Does a bigger battery mean longer hours?
Not always. Ferswe's 2000 mAh bar claims about 4 hours at high brightness.1 MCGOR's 1800 mAh bar claims 8 hours at 100% brightness, and its 2200 mAh bar claims the same 8.3, 7
EZVALO's 2400 mAh bar claims about 11 hours and its 3200 mAh bar up to 15.2, 4 Makers set brightness differently, so read the hours, not the mAh.
Which lights have no always-on mode?
GOODEA's 6-pack works in motion-sensing mode only, so it has no always-on setting.5 It also does not publish its battery size, lumens or sensor range.5
WTXPZM is the reverse: it has a button and remote and no motion sensor.6
