Review on American Lighting 043X-3-DB Priori Xenon 22-Inch Under Cabinet Hardwire Light, 60-Watts, Hi/Low/Off Switch, 120V, Dark Bronze Finish by Toni Lewis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great color, low profile and full blackout. Better LED anytime.

I love the color and flat design of these lights. Installation wasn't a big deal. Because they are low profile, there isn't much room in the chamber for extra wires or pigtails to extend electrical cords, so be prepared for that. The magnetic window that blocks the light is a nice touch, but it takes real skill and work to close properly. It closes easily, but I found that on all 8 of my lights on the left it doesn't close properly and lets light through. It takes a bit of play to get it 100% right as the little levers on the door can easily bend and make things tricky. . This increases the cost of my project, but through no fault of their own. I've had great results by directly linking them with no downsides. I've now noticed that the light flickers when plugged into a $20 universal dimmer from a hardware store. These lights have a full range of dimming levels. At full dimming they are barely noticeable. I did find one small flaw. After installing one, I realized that I hadn't properly prepared the hole in the drywall, so I had to replace the turn off the light again. The wire connectors inside tuck in the connectors and once the wires are in I don't see a way to pull them back out so I had to cut them off and use a regular wire nut to reinstall.
