Review on πŸ”¦ BLACK+DECKER LEDUC9-3WK LED Under Cabinet Kit: Motion Sensor, Dimmable Accent Lighting for Kitchen - Easy Install, Warm Glow, 3-Bar, 9" Length by Tyrell Hudson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great color and dimming but bulky power supply

I've tested and tried several other under cabinet lighting options and this option is fantastic: the color and dimming features are great, it deserves a 5 star rating. Black and Decker advertises this product as "easy installation without tools," which is absolutely true. The downside to this is that there are bulky and highly visible components. For this reason I lowered my rating to 4 stars. I'm going to run a cord to an outlet above my cabinets to hide the bulky power supply (I'm replacing my cabinets to hide the wiring). Speaking of cabling, the package mentions 72" cable, which is perfect for my application, and then says it's not included, but 108" cables can be purchased. Sequel follows. Update 05 Sep 17: I bought a set of 1, 3 and 5 lights as it suits my kitchen needs. The 5 bulb pack is the only one to include the infamous 72 inch cord. I had to run three LED wires the height of my cabinets (42 inches) to get to the outlet at the top of the cabinets. I was using a 72" and had to splice two shorter wires to get the length I needed. This led to a lack of jumper wires and connectors, but spending an extra $35 solved that problem. You really should get a few more Adding connectors..Motion sensors ended up on top of the cabinets because of the way I wired the lights and was driving me crazy with random on and off turns.Luckily I read the reviews and a piece of duct tape solved that problem.line: In the end I will forget about the installation problems and the final product is really great!Update August 20th: 1- The light started flickering which was caused by the power supply.I contacted Black+Decker directly and they sent me a whole new pack of Excellent Service, especially since it's been 3 years since I bought the set.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Easy maintenance
