Westek SR120LCS 20-Watt Halogen Low Voltage Under Cabinet Light Kit, 4 Pack, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have these as under the counter lights. They're uniformly awful. They work for a few month, if you are lucky. Then the lamps don't make good contact with the sockets and go out. New bulbs obviously don't help. Sometimes you can clean the socket with contact cleaner and they'll work for a few more days, but then they go out again. Awful, awful, awful! Replaced with the "new and improved" version. Same problem. Tried another brand of these from another supplier with the same result. Avoid low-voltage halogen and xenon under counter lights.
Ah! I hear my wife screaming from the kitchen again. Those stupid lights must be out again.

9 LED Deluxe Kit, Complete 3 Panel Kit, Warm White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this kit to light a 10' strip of counter-top including the kitchen sink & two flanking counter surfaces that are used for standard kitchen activity (cooking prep, dirty-dish staging, coffee making, et cetera). I have found this product to be a nearly ideal solution for my situation. Specifically, I rent my apartment, and therefore do not want to install anything to permanently; I also wanted a product that was low power, but with enough light production to facilitate working without straining my eyes.
The kit arrived promptly, and I was initially worried that I had been sent the incorrect product because the packaging was so small, but in fact, it was the correct product. Rather, the design is so compact that I was fooled into thinking I had been sent a single-panel.
I had it installed & working in about 5 minutes with the use of a phillips head screwdriver. I opted not to use the main-switch because it would have been difficult to install it in a convenient location while hiding the wires that connect to it. However I can imagine several ways that this switch could be installed in a clean integrated way into the cabinetry, but because I do not own my home, I don't want to go to the trouble of modifying the cabinets.

Under Cabinet Lighting 21 LED - 3 Panel Deluxe Kit, Warm White, dimmer option Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We had recently remodeled our kitchen and wanted to add some under cabinet lighting. I wanted something low profile so it wouldn't show and low power so we could use it a lot without running up the power bill. Cost of course was an issue.
I found these and was a little skeptical so I only ordered the 3 panel kit. When they arrived, I was amazed at just how low profile they were. Basically they are surface mount LEDs on a circuit board - nothing fancy but that doesn't matter since they won't be seen. I plugged one in to the transformer and was pleased with the light color (warm white) and brightness.
Installation was pretty easy. The strips are mounted to the underside of the cabinet with double-sided tape. Same with the switch and cable clips. I didn't end up using the screws at all. I drilled a few holes to run the cables and the result is totally unseen undercabinet lighting.
Everyone who's seen this has been impressed. I ended up ordering a couple more strips to cover more area. My wife and I are very happy with these lights.

Westek XP40RC 20-Watt Xenon Accent Light Kit, 4 Pack, Bronze Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These lights were just what I wanted. They worked great for 2 months. I was ready to give it 5 stars. Then they started going out after on an hour or so. After 10 minites off, I could use them again. After several days, the time I counld use them shortend. The transformer was overheating. The info says its a 120w transformer, I only connected the 4 lights (80w). The transformer had plenty of room on top of cabinet to stay cool.
My only conclution is either it is defective, or it is greatly overated in the specs. I hate to think that I have to buy the hole kit just to obtain a new transformer.

Super Deluxe 21 LED Under Cabinet Lighting Kit with Dimmer Switches Warm White (see also #4829 and 4863) Review

Average Reviews:

(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.

Designer Series Under Cabinet LED Lighting Kit - TEN 10" warm white panels, 2 power supplies, 2dimmers, PLUG n PLAY Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received my order VERY quickly from Inspired LED. Also ordered some 4" jumpers to go between the lights BUT received 12" instead. So I had to cut down some of the longer ones because they were shipped wrong. The kit is very complete with just about everything you really need for the installation. The components seem to be of reasonable quality making the install easy. The disappointment is that they don't put out very much light. They are perfect for that late evening trip to the kitchen but don't help much or at all during the day. We had a few halogen lights under the counter before but they made the bread, bananas, etc. go bad quickly. With all the new LED technology I just can't believe that there are not some really good LED light for under the counter at a reasonable price.
Update: After one week we had a connector fail inside of one light bar. I disassembled it and it had a solder joint failure. Resoldered it and now it works great. Just wanted to post this problem.
