Under cabinet fluorescent lights - Need advice
Comments (6)I chose halogen. They do get hot, but it doesn't bother me. I will probably use more discretion with them in the hotter summer months though.(but I'll have better natural light at that time as well) I don't regard the heat as a deal breaker, because I also change the way I cook in the summer due to the heat--less oven, more outdoors, etc. I don't see a real difference in the same accomodations for lighting. I chose Progress Lighting Counterbrite fixtures because I liked the look. I have some high cabinets above the peninsula and this was one of the few designs I thought I could live with "exposed" to view. I like the quality of the light, and each one covers a lot of area--roughly 36" each--plus they have two light settings (dim, full and off)so I have each one set for its specific location and then all tied in to a wall switch. Each has a switch I can flip if I change my mind about how any of them are set. Here is a link that might be useful: Progress Lighting Counterbrite...See MoreLooking for recommendations for hardwired under cabinet lights
Comments (2)We just redid our kitchen and installed GE Enbrighten Premium (the premium is important) under cabinet lights. The lights are hardwired, come in three different lengths and have three different color settings. We linked ours and have one wall switch that controls all of them. You can switch from one color to the other with a switch on each light, but we have never moved them from the original color. A friend has these lights and had a dimmer installed and uses them as a night light. When I was looking for these, HD didn't have as many as I needed, so I ordered mine from Amazon. We are quite pleased with the color and the amount of light they provide. HTH...See MoreUnder Cabinet LED Light Replacement, Help In Removing Light From Wall
Comments (8)Remove the diffuser and then remove the wire compartment cover (Steps 1 & 2 in the instructions.) Agree with Kudzu & David that the fixture is probably attached with screws thru the back edge....See MoreReplace hardwired kitchen counter lights with LED
Comments (4)Get in touch with a company that sells what you probably need. I used Inspired LED after looking at some of the recommendations here. They have "design services" that can help you with what you need to purchase to get the products to do what you want. They were great to work with. I am very pleased with the product that we purchased from them for 2 different applications. I have no affiliation with that company. Good luck!...See Morecosmera
