Review on πŸ”† EShine 12-Inch LED Dimmable Under Cabinet Lighting Kit, Hand Wave Activated - Touchless Dimming Control - Deluxe Kit, Cool White (6000K) by Brian Buck

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beautiful, well designed and manufactured LED lights.

Installation is easy, but as with anything, location is key. I used the supplied self-adhesive pre-positioning/installation strips and when I was satisfied I went back and screwed them in place. The included #4 x 1/2" screws were too long for my cabinet base. I purchased #4 x 5/16" self-tapping screws that worked great. (cheap/thin chipboard base) This order has 12 light strips, one of which contains an on/off/dimming sensor that needs to be powered first to control the others. Also, the sensor should not be placed too close to adjacent walls or cabinets as it will detect and trigger the object. I only needed 3/4" spacing to get a good job. To ensure even light and shadow, I moved all of the light strips 3/4-inch from the front of the cabinet. I ended up only using 10 of the 12 light strips, but since I needed several long pieces of wire (two 10ft and one 12ft) I ordered longer power cords. This was necessary to hide the wiring around the fridge, microwave and sink. Multipack with more devices comes with a more powerful power supply. (Long wires mean higher voltage resistance.) Again, layout is key. I used two adjacent light panels under each cabinet I could. It's a not-too-expensive way to add a nice touch to the look of your kitchen. to need. (I am a perfectionist and have gone to great lengths to hide the wires as well as the power supply) Your mileage may vary! I recommend this to a friend. I'll try to add a picture as I don't have it on the site at the time of this review.
