Review on 20W 36In Dimmable LED Under Cabinet Task Lighting, CRI>90, 3000K Soft White Wide Body Metal Base With Frost Lens by Alan Sitton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Surprisingly good light bars

I replaced existing fluorescent under cabinet lights with five of these in various sizes. While a Romex connector is included I just reused the ones I had and migrated them over to one of the knockouts in the back of the case. As luck woud have it, my supply wire locations coming out of the walls pretty much lined up with a knockout hole so I could mount the new lights nearly where they ideally needed to be on center. It turned out it didn't matter much. These fixtures throw off a ton of light out from the ends, as well as everywhere else, so you're not going to notice many shadows. I used a Lutron Diva LED dimmer and it gives full range control. Set at the halfway point, the lights are as bright as the ones they replaced. 3000k in a kitchen is a nice soft working color. It's not dingy anymore - no more dead spots where fluorescent bulbs met end-on-end. I like them and I'm going to use them on the cabinet tops as well. Be mindful these are hardwired so some basic electrical skill is necessary.

Pros
  • Safe and Reliable: LED lights are safe and reliable, minimizing the risk of fire and electrical accidents
Cons
  • Can be difficult to adjust brightness
