Juno UPX Xenon or American Lighting Priori Xenon for under cab?
Comments (1)Look at the KIchler Pucks in LED we got those and they are wafer thin. These use a thin junction box and will go above the range LED stainless steel for under the cabs very thin too...about one inch and taper to 1/2 inch. Got those in 12 inch and 20 inch. They are very nice. They are more expensive but beat those old fluorescent ones....See MoreUnder cab lights, tap on/off?
Comments (5)I haven't seen the lights you're talking about but I have tap switches for my in cabinet lights as well as the lights over my sink. Installed under my upper cabinets so I could avoid switches in the backsplash. They do what you describe - only three levels of brightness. I have no idea what kind they are - recommended by my KD and supplied and installed by the electrician....See MoreT-5 under cab light started smoking & crackling...
Comments (7)Many, if not most, of the electric cooktops have a, "Lock Button" in the touchpad. "Theoretically", you have to keep your finger on that lock button for about 5-10 seconds to "Unlock the Cooktop". In the "Locked mode", one can NOT turn on the main power to the cooktop, nor can you turn on any burner. Ours would start beeping at us, and give error codes, Like some electric cooktops will do when you are cleaning the touch pad or you spill liquid on it~~~~but we had done neither, (we weren't cleaning it and we had not spilled liquid on it), and many times we were not even in the kitchen when it started beeping and throwing error msgs. We lived with that for maybe a year, I would scrub the cooktop in the area of the touch pad and "Maybe" get rid of the beeping and error msgs, but the beeping and error msgs would return. Manufacturer was no help, they sent a main board, (which I did not think would fix it), it didn't & then the company went out of business. We have a 2 story house, and I'm usually up here in my cmptr room. Usually I go from here to the master bedroom, but that night, (fortunately), I decided to go downstairs and get some icecream, and I saw the burner glowing Red HOT. With conventional electric smooth tops, the whole cooktop surface gets hot and had that burner stayed full on all night, I hate to think of the consequences~~~~~there was a dishtowel not that far from the cooktop! I'm sure the problem was a bad touchpad, but by that time, the company was "Nowhere to be found". With an Induction cooktop, even if it were able to "Unlock itself"~~~~(I've never heard of one doing that), then it would still have to turn on the power to the unit, then it would have to select a hob and turn it on~~~~~Not likely to happen~~~~but even if it did, No hobs would come on unless there was a pot/pan on the hob. Even if a pot/pan were on the hob, induction senses an "over heat" condition, and would shut down. So you see why I now feel "Quite safe" with my induction cook top"?

Comments (4)First rule - never assume. What seems like an "obviously" or an "of course" to me hasn't been so much for most of the people we've talked to about doing our kitchen...so, no assuming. Anyway, as for your lighitng..why would it be "too much"? First and foremost, UC lighting is a task lighting and then secondary as an ambient light (some use for this and some don't). Lighting in glass cabinets is only an ambient/accent lighting, so it has nothing to do with if you have UC lighting or not. The real question is, do you want to use your UC lighting for ambient lighting or *only* task lighting? And if you plan on it (UC) for both, you'll probably want a dimmer for it. The UC lighting and the lights in the cabinets need to be on a separate switch...and it sounds like Sparky may not recognize that if he thinks it's "too much to do both", so don't assume that he knows to do that...make it very clear that's what you want. Lastly for now...it's always better to have too much light and turn it off than too little. And it's easier to install "too much light" when doing your reno. rather than trying to add it later....See Morebeekeeperswife
