Review: I like this product much. I have been using this product since August and the recent order thru Amazon is a 2nd piece. As under cabinet lighting device it is good, no glare, no heat. I think that the fixing arrangement under the cabinet be more robust. Presently it is delicate and allows lateral movement because of slot mechanism. On the whole I like it much

Review: I picked this up recently as a replacement for more energy hungry xenon under-cabinet lights. The unit seems solid/well constructed. It has 4 LED bulbs in it. When I first saw this, I was concerned that the light output would be too low but these bulbs REALLY crank out the lumens and only uses 6 watts: an 8th of the unit it replaced! It’s plenty bright and the color is very warm – very close to the Xenon unit it replaced and not the ‘cold’ white LED color I was concerned about. Installation is a snap: drill two mounting holes with included template, put screws in, slide on fixture, plug in and you’re done. The units can be daisy-chained as well and the package includes a cord to do this. I only gave it 4 stars as it is very expensive – I would have thought $30-40 would be a fairer price for this…. but I do like it a lot.

Review: I just installed/hardwired 3 of these undercabinet in a kitchen remodel and really like the way they produce a significant volume of light at minimal power usage (~ 6 watts per fixture).
Note that these fixtures can be hardwired in but require an optional wiring box/kit that has to be purchased seperately (~$8).
Surprizingly I got the best price as well as the wiring kits over the counter at a major home store(HD).
I would have given these 5 stars except for the “premium” pricing set by the manufacturer.
