No, not talking about a new type of hockey, but one more cool product, puck lights. You may have seen them here and there, they are small, hockey puck size lights that are often mounted under cabinets, desks and other such places. They often have halogen or xenon bulbs, but the newer ones are lit by LEDs.

We have new Dot It lights by Sylvania that are really cool! First of all they are LED so they stay cool, but that is not the kind of cool I mean. They have motion sensors that turn the lights on and control the brightness. I put a couple in our cupboards at home and what a difference they make! Now that dark corner cupboard with all the bowls and pots that you can never see has light in it. The Dot It lights are battery powered and mount in seconds with an adhesive backed magnet. Just a simple wave of your hand and the cupboard is well lit, and it even shuts itself off if you forget to.

The Dot It lights and all our other puck lights are some of the simples things to install and use, and are a great example of a simple thing that makes life just that much better. Some times it’s those little things that add just the right accent, and just the right practical touch, and the puck lights are just that.
