Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long do batteries last in an Esysense hinge light?

A: For a wardrobe opened 8–10 times per day, standard batteries last 3–6 months — less frequently accessed cabinets will see longer life.

Q: Will it work on an almirah (steel cupboard)?

A: Yes — if the almirah uses standard pin or strap hinges with removable screws. Verify hinge screw accessibility and base plate fit before ordering.

Q: Can hinge lights be used in a bathroom vanity cabinet?

A: Yes — battery-powered hinge lights contain no mains wiring and are safe for bathroom cabinet installations. Replace batteries promptly when brightness dims.

Q: What about double-door wardrobes?

A: Install one hinge light per door — each operates independently, activating only when its respective door is opened.
