This review is from: American Lighting 044-12-WH Under Cabinet Puck Lighting Kit, 20-Watt Xenon Lamp, White (Tools & Home Improvement)

Although this product is described as an "under cabinet" fixture, it has a dual design that allows it to be used as recessed, in-cabinet lighting as well. The mounting shell can be removed, leaving a lamp housing with a flush-mount trim ring. It is then a simple matter to cut a hole and push the mount up and in.

This fixture produces a pleasing light with great color fidelity. In our application, it is mounted in a kitchen corner cabinet with glass front and glass shelves, holding wine glasses and other transparent pieces. The pair of fixtures in the cabinet provides even light. The lens has just enough of a matte finish to avoid a glare in the viewer's eyes.

In our application this fixture is connected to a dimmer, and this also works flawlessly. Note well that you need to purchase a transformer separately--this "steps down" your local line voltage to the 12 volt current needed by the fixture. A small, "hard-wire" transformer mounted in the attic above the cabinet did the trick for us. (Electrical codes may require that the transformer and any wire splices be accessible. Since the area above our cabinet is not accessible, we needed to install in this manner.) You should ensure that the transformer has enough capacity--for our pair of fixtures, it needed to supply 50 watts including a safety margin--and that it is compatible with dimmers if you want your light dimmable.

This is a high-quality product.

We purchased these lights to be placed under our upper kitchen cabinets. We had our contractor stick a transformer into the corner of the cabinets and centered the lights evenly. They add an attractive modern touch and soft light into the corner area of our kitchen which was too dark. The light beams down nicely onto a decorative glass bowl we that sits in the corner of the kitchen.

Had one bad light, could not find it in the "big box" stores, and there you go.
