(More customer reviews)I am in the process of installing a tile backsplash and I wanted to add some undercounter lighting to accent the tile. I looked at three Warm lighting kits: This kit, the Super Bright LED under cabinet cove, Full kit, 10 light panels, 2 powersupplies, warm white LEDs!, and the Under Cabinet and accent LED Lights - 10 panel set, warm white LEDs. I am very pleased with this kit and I am glad I got the one I did. The extra brightness of the Super Bright 21 LED's (vs 10 in the cheaper version) works great. It's hard to tell from the picture but the strips of LEDs are only about 8" long so the extra brightness is nice. I'm also glad I got the dimmer switches. The only difference in the Super Bright Full kit and the Deluxe kit I got is the addition of 2 dimmer switches. Both products show the same product picture, but this one does include two dimmer switches. It really is nice to be able to adjust the brightness so it's full bright for when you are cooking and preparing food and low light for some nice backlighting or mood lighting. You can always get the Super Bright kit without the dimmers and add them later as well (they are $20 a piece on the manufacturer's site).
As for installation, this has to be the easiest wiring job I've ever done. It's literally plug and play. I drilled one hole to pass the wire through the top of my cabinet to hide the plug. Otherwise it's all 2-sided tape and screws. A screwdriver is the only tool I needed. The kit included everything I needed and then some. The ONLY thing I would change is a few more screws would be nice. I like to screw everything in addition to using the 2-sided tape and the number of screws was plenty for the LED strips and some of the wire bundle holders, but I could have used a few more for the wire bundles holders. It's a minor complaint though as my use of screws is likely overkill. I just wanted to make sure that over time the wires don't fall down due to gravity pulling on the two sided tape. I ended up just using the 2-sided tape on a handful of wiring bundle holders until I can buy a few more screws.
The kit came packaged very well and I got it in a matter of days - Priority Mail. I can also buy add on parts or accessories directly from Inspired LED if I need to. This kit is so nice and easy to install I may install more on top of my cabinets to light up the plant ledge. I actually ended up using 1 extra LED strip for this and it looks great. I'll try and add a customer picture to the product page to give you an idea.
In short, you won't regret buying this kit. My only regret is not doing this earlier. It would have really helped during the installation of the backsplash to provide some nice work lights.
