Nice fixture.bad seller

Bought two of these 12” lights to replace old T5 fixtures under two cabinets in our kitchen. Installation was fairly easy, and the light output was pretty nice. Unfortunately, when I returned to the amazon page to order four 24” inch replacements for the remaining T5 lights in our kitchen, the 24” version was no longer available (even though it had only been two weeks since I ordered the 12” version.and the 24” version was supposedly available at that time).Since then, I’ve spent HOURS online…

Pros
  • Item received as described. Prompt shipping. Good quality.
Cons
  • The metal base may get hot after prolonged use

Bought for a wall behind an infrared sauna

We removed some cabinetry and wall-sconce light fixtures in a family room and put a free-standing infrared sauna where the cabinets were, but with the sconces removed the room was too dark. We couldn't find any "stylish" low-profile sconces that would allow us to push the sauna fairly tight against the wall, so I hit on the idea of using under-cabinet lights. This brand provided plenty of size options, and are slim enough to hide behind the sauna without touching it. They throw some good…

Pros
  • Good Product!
Cons
  • The hardwired design may not be suitable for renters

Easy fixes for these bright LEDs

Read many of the reviews before purchasing, so I knew we would need dimmers. Then priced the Lutron dimmers needed for this and then new cover plates. Did not want to spend another $100+. I'm using frosting spray, but will also try parchment and/or wax paper or the surgical tape I used on the outside of my old fluorescent light. Decided to look on YouTube to see if anyone else had this thought.many videos you can review to correct your problem. Light itself is nice, simple to put up and low…

Pros
  • purchased for use under Ikea cabinets. Easy install and work well
Cons
  • The wide body design may take up too much space under the cabinet

Good price and surprisingly bright.

My under counter light broke and this LED version just happened to be identical I size and design. Switching the unit out was a breeze as long as you know one end of the screwdriver from the other. Just make sure you kill the power to your area first. What surprised us the most was just how much brighter it was, the difference was amazing and it uses less power, win, win.

Pros
  • DIMMABLE - Compatible with most dimmers. CRI>90 provides truer colors for your fruits and vegetables
Cons
  • The metal base may scratch easily

Very bright and efficient

Came in a timely fashion. Was easy to install and LED very bright, much brighter than the old one it replaced. Very pleased with it and good price.

Pros
  • HASSLE-FREE 5-year warranty with 50,000 hour lifetime, easy and fast replacement guaranteed! Conforms to UL 1598
Cons
  • The LED lights may emit a humming noise during use

Works well! best in my review

After a bit of a struggle with the first, figuring out how to disassemble and install, these are a snap to install and work very well.To improve, increase length of green ground wire by 4"

Pros
  • No flicker, instant-on lighting provides better visibility
Cons
  • The fixture may require additional wiring to function properly

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Tight fit for the wires.

Needed to shorten the wires in order to get them to fit under the housing. Nice clean look and very bright light. That's my feedback.

Pros
  • Wall Lights
Cons
  • The fixture may not be as energy-efficient as advertised

color is a little off

Description says that the color range is soft white, but there is a blue tinge and feels more like a cool white. I wish there was a switch to select some other color options.

Pros
  • The lights are beautiful and they were easy to install.
Cons
  • The installation process may require professional help

Good unit, easy to install, very bright - dimmer required.

These units are solidly built and easy to install, coming with all of the required parts (some of which are non-standard). The units have a nice color quality but are very bright (which generally is a good thing) to the extent that I had to install a dimmer switch. Fortunately they are dimmer compatible. With the dimmers in I am very pleased with the result.

Pros
  • Adjustable color temperature to suit various needs
Cons
  • The fixture may not be suitable for all types of countertops or cabinets

Very nice light, a bit tricky to install

I like everything except for part of the installation, and lack of a PDF. Item 2 of the installation instructions says "Disassemble fixture by pressing at the bottom of cover and pulling cover up and sliding out the notch from the base".Clear as bell, right? There is a blow-up in the instructions, but it fails to identify 3 "cover catches" along the edge of the base (two are shown, but not identified). And the term "cover" is misleading; the part identified as the cover actually contains all…

Pros
  • Long-lasting metal base ensures durability
Cons
  • The LED lights may create a harsh glare

great LED replacement for hardwired fluorescent UTC fixtures

I bought (1) 18" , (2) 24", and (1) 42" and all work fine. 3000 K color is perfect and they are brighter than the fluorescents were but not too bright either. Hopefully these LED s will last a long time unlike the skinny fluorescent odd length tubes that go half bad within 6 months. Only "downsides" were the knockouts didn't line up with existing wiring so I had to drill 1/2" holes and there could be more room for the extra wiring but these are trivial complaints. They could cost a little less…

Pros
  • Low heat generation means cooler environment
Cons
  • The LED lights may have a limited lifespan

Wow! Do I have light!

I hate working at my kitchen counter while everything is in my shadow. These give great light & can be dimmed if I only want a night light. They haven't been up long but being LED I expect they will last several years.

Pros
  • Gives good inexpensive lighting. I leave it on all the time at night for a night light.
Cons
  • These lights give off a blinding light and trigger headaches for me. I would not buy these lights again.

They buzz when used with a dimmer switch

These lights are bright - too bright for my kitchen. So I tried using several different dimmer switches, as these lights are listed as being dimmable. I tried:- Lutron Diva LED+- Lutron Maestro LED+- Lutron DVELV-300P-WH Diva Low VoltageThe first two dimmer switches worked, but made the lights buzz noticeably. The buzzing would be louder depending on the brightness I had the dimmer switch set to. At some levels it would be pretty quiet, then get louder and louder of the course of a few minutes.

Pros
  • Enhances aesthetic appeal of cabinetry and countertops
Cons
  • The fixture may not be as durable as advertised

Didn't work with our wiring

I'm sure the product was fine. Thanks for attention. It couldn't be hooked up with our wiring so we had to get a different type.

Pros
  • Well made very bright
Cons
  • The price may be too expensive for some consumers

Great compact light for under cabinet, or work bench

Not a bad light for under cabinets, or on work bench. Very bright, and compact. With that wiring in a compact space is a bit more challenging. Neests to have an area to place the wires with wiee nuts. That and the ground could be a bit longer to reach the outer edge of light. But not such a problem that I wouldn't buy it. Just takes some finagling to get back together after wired and has wore nuts to shove in a small space.

Pros
  • Can be linked together for easy expansion
Cons
  • The metal base may be heavier than expected, making installation difficult
