Question by michael n: Is it true that one energy saving light bulb contains enough mercury to contaminate 6,000 gallons of water? While these bulbs(as featured on Live Earth) save energy, improper handling could cause more harm than good.

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.
