Review on πŸ’‘ Efficient Lighting Solution: TORCHSTAR 14-Inch Hardwired Multi-Function LED Cabinet Light, Warm White [110V] by Heather Nelson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Must be mounted flush with the wall. Cannot be daisy-chained with hard wiring.

I've changed my rating to one star, note that a similar Revain unit with everything you need is a dollar less. Another excellent rating shows they cannot be coded due to an open knockout of live wiring that cannot be covered. IMHO if you mount this unit flush to the wall it can be safely connected (no exposed wires) and the terminal lugs are large enough for 12 ga (you need a solid core and a 90 degree pre-bent wire). The standalone unit must be hardwired and flush mounted to the wall or heavily modified or live electrical connections will be left exposed. There is not enough space for splicing, so the wire blocks CANNOT be chained. The drawer unit is a much better fit for most installations as it comes with intermediate connections, fixed molded connections or power cord options (power only at the end of the lamp cord). I felt like Homer Simpson when it took me a long time to figure out that the end was a cap on an extension plug and not shaped like a rear cable assembly. One of the blocks had severe dents that are not visible under the cabinet.

Pros
  • nice item
Cons
  • empty
