called Enbrighten. \u00a0Enbrighten is a patented LED technology that can brighten a room with amazing energy efficiency. \u00a0GE boasts that you&#8217;ll never need to change the bulb, it&#8217;s so efficient.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myenbrighten.com\" target=\"_blank\">GE Enbrighten<\/a> is best described as portable lighting that can be placed anywhere you need light&#8230;either stationary in a room or, with the portable version, used as a handheld light device.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Where to Use Enbrighten<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Our house is so well-lit, I was

light on a project you&#8217;re working on&#8230;whether it&#8217;s behind your TV with all of those wires, looking under beds and furniture\u00a0for your son&#8217;s favorite (and lost) stuffed animal, or some very precise painting work, it helps to have an extra light that can support itself with its own stand&#8230;as opposed to a flashlight that rolls around.<\/p>\n<p>I think\u00a0of\u00a0the money I will save by using the motion-sensing Enbrighten light in my pantry&#8230;as well as the hassle of turning on the light each time. \u00a0I&#8217;ve never thought much about the idea of portable light before (other than a flashlight), but these two Enbrighten lights can be used in a myriad of situations where lighting is needed. \u00a0How would you use Enbrighten lights?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>* \u00a0I was given an Enbrighten Plug-In Motion-Sensing LED light and a Wireless Touch-Activated LED light in exchange for my honest review. \u00a0All opinions are my own.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Need a quick solution to solve lighting issues?
