Review on Pro Series 21 LED Under πŸ’‘ Cabinet Lighting Deluxe Kit - Warm White 3000K by Nick Atkinson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Versatile, bright, easy to install - what more could you ask for?

This LED under cabinet lighting kit comes in an incredibly small box. My fears were allayed when I opened the package and found a very compact set of bulbs, mounting hardware and connectors. At first the small size bothered me until I turned on the light and flipped the switch. WOW! The fact is, LEDs are so small and efficient that they simply don't need the huge packages required for fluorescent and incandescent bulbs. While this offers many installation options, note that these 8-inch strips require one per cabinet width - one strip per pair of cabinets will not be enough, and in fact the length of the connections does not allow them to be as widely spaced. Pros: - Really (really!) easy to install - anyone can do it. - Very bright LEDs also come into their own in bright rooms and set the scene perfectly for subway tiles and glass tile back walls. - Very thin strips can be installed in places where conventional lighting just won't fit. - Mounting options with tape and screws. Cons: - Short strips means 2 are needed per standard kitchen cabinet pair - Relatively short joints limit positioning options if you need to get under a regular microwave (but will do) - Two light strips came loose when glued. I reattached it with the same tape with a little more effort and time and it hasn't come loose since. "Wall power” refers to the power cord that runs under the cabinet to an outlet. It can be covered with a tall device or a small pipe. Overall I highly recommend this product.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
