Undercounter Lighting Recommendations?

[dd]

Mike,

About a year ago, I installed new kitchen cabinets and used xenon task
lights from National Speciality Lighting. They have been great. They are
dimmable, bright and give off much less heat then halogen. They are
supposed to have a much greater life than the halogen also. I do not have
any relation to National Speciality Lighting or any lighting retailer or
wholesaler at all. I am just very happy with.the lights

We used hockey-pucks under cabinet lights in our
previous kitchen. Both Halogen and Xenon. 115V and
12V with transformers. We felt these tuna-can style
were more for decorative effect than task lighting.

When we remodeled (new everything) our kitchen, we had
the GE Premium fluorescent light fixtures installed
under the cabinets for task lighting. We had flood
light cans put in the ceiling. and the GEs under the
cabinets.

We have an interior kitchen; there are no windows in
the kitchen itself. There is little natural light
available. However, with our lighting scheme using the
GE Premium , we found the colors are good, food looks
good and there are few, if any shadows. These old eyes
really love all the heat-less task lighting.

The GE premium fixtures are available in several
thicknesses and lengths at your friendly home
improvement centers.

No commercial ties to GE.

For undercounter and under the cabinets, LED lights works great. Hence, I would recommend you to consider choosing LED strip or rope light for undercounter lighting.
