Poplight
4.4
Poplight earns mixed reviews: it solves dark, outlet-free spaces with chic, renter-friendly sconces that install in minutes and offer adjustable brightness, but durability and light quality draw criticism. Reviews praise stylish colors, easy repositioning, long battery life for some, and responsive support, while others report cheap-feeling plastic, unreliable adhesive that can fall and damage walls, finicky power buttons, cool/clinical light even on “warm,” limited app and ecosystem, and inconsistent battery performance.

I have two poplights in two different colors, and really like them. I was having issues with the battery in one of them and reached out to customer support. They were super responsive and ended up sending me a new battery, which has worked well since. Love a renter-friendly product that looks cool without damaging the walls!

My biggest complaint is that in 2025, any Bluetooth-connected “smart” device should actually be smart. Yes, it’s nice that the Pop Light doesn’t damage walls and is renter-friendly...but it’s inexcusable that the only way to control it (other than the manual switch on the light itself) is through their app, which is arguably the most poorly built and designed app I’ve ever used. And I’ve been using smart and connected devices for 15 years. This product should absolutely integrate with standard smart ecosystems ; Apple HomeKit, Alexa, Matter, or literally anything else. Having a somewhat aesthetically pleasing, easy-to-install, wall-safe light that becomes nearly useless if it’s more than a few feet off the ground is ridiculous. The design feels cheap, and the overall experience is not good value for the price. The only real win here is the visual aesthetic and that’s where the compliments end. Otherwise, this is a total bust.

I love my poplights!! I just installed 3 poplights: 2 sage green in the guest room; one marigold in a storage room with zero lights in it. Poplights are perfect in both spaces! I live in a very old house with textured walls, and I was initially a little worried about the adhesive, but I followed these installation instructions (https://thepoplight.com/pages/how-to-videos?srsltid=AfmBOooa77-u9fcrQ0CCQOiq3X2Li_I5GAe4bac-CMEasKrlzH36iM6u) and it worked perfectly. The marigold is warm and the sage are the new “warmest” color. Both look great, and with the dimming options, I think both options would be great in any room. I love how chic they look and love that I can move them as our needs for these two rooms shift and change over time. Definitely worth the price. They look like hard-wired lights but they can be installed and reinstalled in minutes. Will be buying more.

As a 20 something renter in my first apartment, I was eager to find products that I could hold onto and bring with me as I moved. Poplight was a great solution to help add light and color to my space. Since I was in no position to hire an electrician, installing the product took 5 minutes and I loved that it arrived already charged. The hardest part was picking the right color. Also, the built in level was a game changer. Poplight added a nice bit of warmth to my entryway and a great pop of color. Since I installed my Poplight I had to move elsewhere and I was easily able to bring it with me. For me, it was worth the $95 price and has been useful in decorating my spaces as I move around in this period of my life.
