Review on LEDme 12-inch 120V Light Bar in White with 2700K Warm White by Terry Myers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent LED kitchen lamp under the cabinet

The color temperature and CRI declared by the manufacturer are not bad at 2900 K and 85 CRI. I don't know if these numbers are correct, but the color is definitely warmer than my flashlight, which uses a Cree XM-L LED with a 4A/4B/4C/4D color range, which is around 4500K. I don't know if BA-LED4 heats up to 2900K. However, I like the color temperature, whatever it is in my kitchen. It is a pure color with no noticeable greenish, bluish or purple tint. I have a white apron, so the awkward hue will be very noticeable. I don't see any issues with color accuracy either. The products look like they are the right color. The light is well diffused so the entire countertop is evenly lit (I have 2 LED4 modules and 2 LED8 modules spread over 12ft of the counter). Blocks work cool, no hum or flicker. Unlike fluorescent lamps, they switch on immediately at full brightness without flickering. The devices themselves also look good. Normally with kitchen lighting under the cabinet I wouldn't think that cosmetics would make a big difference. But the reflection off my light gray polished granite countertop shows the light clearly enough that unsightly light would be undesirable. , and a Lutron ELV dimmer switch is much more expensive than a switch like the Lutron Diva CL dimmer.
