I needed an under-cabinet light to illuminate my 3" cutting board. I have grown fond of my fingertips, and my kitchen lighting put my board in my body's shadow making it difficult to see well what I was cutting. I had installed some battery-powered LED lighting strips also sold by GE, but the 6 batteries needed in each of the 2 remote controlled lights lasted for less than 2 hours at full brightness making it expensive in the long run. Furthermore, the LEDs lit up only what was directly below them. On a 20" cutting board much was still left dim.

For reasons of economy and in the hope that I would get more and better lighting coverage, I decided to try this light. I wanted sturdy construction, minimum profile, instant-on function and a light that would illuminate my entire 20x20 cutting board and not just a portion of it. With a full metal housing, this fixture does it all. I get a bright and steady light perfect for my needs. As the light is linkable, I will be buying another 3 to surround my entire sink area.

Cheaper in the local large hardware store.

Slim, you have to figure out what to do with the cords if you link them - otherwise they hang there looking bad, but otherwise go to your local L**** or H*** D**** for better prices.
