These lights use an electronic ballast that is less than perfect. I use them in jewelry cases, and about 25% of them fail within 6 months. Also, the "non-yellowing" lens is not true, the heat yellows the plastic lens fairly quickly. Replacement bulbs will run about $8 to $10 with shipping, so it's almost better to toss the entire unit and replace it when the bulbs go. Still cheaper than halogen lighting, but don't buy it unless you're able to replace it easily.

3.0 out of 5 stars Under Cabient Light, June 7, 2008

This light does not last very long. Only had it for about 6 months and bulb has already burned out. Only use it at night when at my deck at home, which is not very often.You have to buy replacement bulbs online. Went to 3 stores and the last store said you had to get them online and with the shipping charges it gets to be a rather expensive bulb.

After buying 2 new enclosed computer stations that was black I realized that I needed some light. I ordered two of these to add under the tops of the stations. We installed them and was very pleased with the result. It lights up the keyboard and desktop but doesn't cause glare on the computer screen. It gives me just the right amount of light to work at the computer. I would not like to have to work without them. They don't take up space, and are eash to install.
I would recommend them to anyone who needs extra light whether under a cabinet or any other place. They also came in black to match my computer station. I'm a happy customer.
