Review on πŸ’‘ RF Remote Controlled Dimmable LED Under Cabinet Lights Kit by AIBOO for Natural White Kitchen Counter Lighting by Mark Toth

Revainrating 4 out of 5

0 for 2 / But the seller finally understood.

WARNING: What follows is my first review followed by a small update. Returned the first set after it failed on the third week. I bought a second set which lasted 3 months. Now it's too late to return the second set. The problem isn't the light itself, which lights up and works as expected. It appears to be in a switch they installed a few feet from the light source. In both cases, the switch became unresponsive to the remote, making it impossible to turn off the lights unless you unplugged them from the wall. I assume the problem could be with the remote unit, except they rarely fail. I solved this problem for the time being by using a separate socket with a remote control. Lots of extra costs and hassles. Update (01/21/2019): After the first review I received an email from the seller and a new switch. This happened without my request. I agreed to try the new switch which he described as "more stable" and maybe update the review. Unfortunately this took quite a long time as we live in a northern climate where light is only used during the few dark winter months. My light has been working for 2-3 months and there have been no problems. The switch works as it should. The lights are used for 3-4 hours every night to illuminate some decorative items on the glass table. I actually put a light under the glass and it shines up and through the glass and illuminates things. In recognition of the seller's efforts to please a disgruntled buyer, the time and effort I put into this, and the improved performance of the switch, I have upgraded my original rating from 2 to 4 stars today.

Pros
  • > Ultra slim and easy to install: 180 lumens of each LED puck shines at full brightness, which corresponds to 25 watts of conventional light. Size 2.3"D x 0.3" is very thin, after sticking thin washers with sticker or screws under or over cabinet posts, almost invisible. If you need cable clamps to install jigs, please buy them at ASIN: B085DC5F9S.
Cons
  • Not everything fits
