A great way to brighten up your dark countertops

They Work! A cheap way to add under cabinet lighting that has really improved my kitchen experience (and probably knife safety). A few caveats: First, you need to be comfortable splicing the wires as the connectors are very short. Any thick wire will do, and this is not high voltage, so some negligence is acceptable. I twisted them together and taped them together, if you have any brains you should probably use a real wire crimp; Either way, this will probably work just fine. Second, the shadows created by arranging 27 individual non-diffuse point light sources in a row. Interesting. They line up with 10 sharp edges per shadow, which is especially noticeable when you wave your hand under light. Kind of strange actually. You get used to that, but it would be nice if they were more diffused, which would only accommodate a small strip of matte plastic on the underside. To do it yourself, just use matte tape: it should have exactly the same effect, and these just don't get hot, so there shouldn't be a problem. a little over 2 watts. Some wild. Can't wait for everything to be LED.

Pros
  • Superb Construction
Cons
  • Unreliable
