Review on LED Adjustable Hardwired Dimmable Linkable by Jeremy Miller

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great LED cabinet lighting!

I've had cabinet interior lighting for 15+ years, starting with fluorescent and then Xenon-Halogen. These early iterations produced decent light, but clashed with my attempts to switch all of the lighting in my house to balanced daylight. I chose this Parmida as part of a trio of lights, mainly for the ability to change the color temperature to better match the balanced LED daylight bulbs in my kitchen ceiling lights. I now have kitchen lighting that doesn't clash or look ugly! But that's not all. These Parmida UCL bar lights are pretty well thought out, with a mounting system that goes straight through the lightweight chassis making installation as easy as I've ever experienced. In addition, the connection function with the included cables makes life easier by allowing you to install 2 lights close together and use only 1 socket for power supply. I also liked the rotation feature, which allows me to apply the lighting more directly when needed. Now for the cons of these lights, which should have lowered my rating from 5/5 to 4.5/5. The swivel mechanism mentioned above requires about 1/2 inch clearance from the cabinet apron to take advantage of all the light these bar lights produce. This is not really a disadvantage, but something to be aware of. Since my build consisted of a multitude of stakes, the 5 foot power cord is very stiff and quite difficult to attach out of sight, and the plug attached to the end is longer than I saw before making a light that , It was reported to be just over 12 inches in a 14 inch setup when all was said and done. Well, anyway, I didn't want that paper towel roll holder to be there! And a final note for those considering these or other plugs under the cabinet lighting. I want manufacturers to design a light that can be powered and connected from one end at the same time. settings display. I know there's always hard wiring, but I can't do it at the moment. All in all these are wonderful under cabinet lights with unique features that I find very useful and will light up my kitchen for years without having to change burned out xenon bulbs or endure soft white light mixed with the daylight balanced lighting above.
