Very bright and easy to install.

Easy to install, flat and unobtrusive, bright as day. Communicates from one device to another. I set mine up to all be controlled by the same switch, but I can still turn each one on and off individually. The only thing that was difficult with all this work was wiring it so that it wasn't visible. If I had known my wife would need lighting under all of the closets, I would have pre-wired them before the drywall was raised. My own lack of planning and no lack of the lights. They are available in

  • Impressive
Cons
  • Nothing

Let there be (a lot of) light

Bought two of these instead of two halogen mini fairy lights under the cupboard. These people are bright! We used the Hi/Low switch on the fixtures to dim their audio from time to time or even turn one of them off. And as LEDs, they generate no heat compared to halogens, which my wife would melt butter under. Easy setup - I wired it in hardware as that was the setup for the previous lights. If you want to do this you will need GE Junction Box #39971 - NOT the model #32612 recommended in the Buy

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Bad description. False advertising. NO DIRECT CABLE!

Attention customers. I bought it to install in a place I was hired to renovate. I bought because I said direct wiring. You should be more specific in the description that this is NOT a straight wire. You will need to purchase a low profile junction box and plug your light into that box. I ended up tossing the thing on the street and rushing to Lowe's to buy some direct-wired lighting. Since I gave it up out of desperation, it cannot be returned. I thought it would convert to straight wire, but…

  • Everything is fine!
Cons

Excellent luminous flux / very flat / connectable

These lights are great for under cabinet lights. They donate very bright light and are very thin. I find that forward placement (toward the front edge of the countertop) provides the best lighting for your countertop. They can be linked so that when you turn this switch on/off they all turn on/off together when connected to an externally switched circuit. The only downside is that GE only supplies a short cable (18 inches) which is often too short for applications. However, you can change the…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Not sure

Better than expected small closet lighting

Bought for a small outerwear closet to serve as a central location for all my electronics. I could barely see when I needed to restart my cable box or install a new device, and I was tired of shining flashlights to see something. I thought about installing a lamp, but it seemed redundant, complicated and expensive. This light solved all my problems and it's too bright for a small closet but that's where the up and down function comes in. In my case, this purchase was perfect. Installation took…

Pros
  • Free for educational use
Cons
  • Out of fashion

Not as advertised, suitable for lighting under cupboards

First the quality of the light: not as bright as I thought from the reviews. I'm replacing the existing fluorescent tube under the cabinet, which is normally bright and has a wide dimming range (from barely lit to very bright). This fixture is unmatched for dimming or full brightness. In addition, the light is advertised as a soft, warm white. It is by no means a warm white. We have warm white LEDs throughout the house and they don't even come close. Second, the direct wire function. It's just…

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Quality

Great light and they look good but they get hot.

I just installed two 36" GE Premium LED strips and four 12" light strips using a straight through cable installation. I like the quality of the light but I complain that they get warm which is very surprising as they are LED. They heat things in the cabinets above them. I'll contact the manufacturer but I'm wondering if anyone else has had this experience. I'll add that I made the same mistake as the other reviewers and for a direct wired installation I ordered the GE Direct Wire #32612…

Pros
  • Rugged Finish
Cons
  • Damaged
