Awesome light. Very easy to mount. I have it over my laptop work area and it is perfect.
Mounts under a cabinet perfectly. I used one screwdriver, read and followed the obvious instructions and 'wal-la' the light was mounted and working in less than 5 minutes. The primary powercord is something like 4 feet long and the attachment cord (that allows the connecting of more than one light in a row) is about 12 inches or so.
This little light puts out far more light than I expected from a small 12 1/2 inch light.
The light produced has a yellowish hue to it that helps, I think, to not only increase the perceived brightness but if you have never tried to work under a bright-white light then you need to know that it can be bothersome. After long hours the bright-white starts to 'wear' on the eyes--something like snow on a bright day--white paper appears very bright and causes me to have a headache.
This off-white may not be what someone would want for a presentation shelf or something but it is perfect for a worklight.
Hope this helps.

This light was bought as a gun cabinet light. It is small enough to do the job well without interfearing with the rest of the room{14 gun cabinet}. One thing to consider. This is similar to the old "lights of america" brandand comes with the dull 27K bulb. If you want whiter light plan to spend $3-5 for a 47k-51k light which I did. Time will tell on the lenght of service. It does run warm but not too hot so it keeps the cabinet dry. No shipping troubles and it does have an on/off switch.

I bought these lights hoping to add some light over my sink and kitchen counters which were too dark for me. The light switch in my apartment kitchen is behind the fridge so it was inconvenient to turn on the overhead light and it wasn't very efficient anyway because the ceilings in this old building are high. These lights give off just the right amount of light, not too bright which I hate, and not too dim. I have one over my sink that I use when doing dishes, and two under the cabinets I use when fixing meals. I ended up only needing 3 out of the 4 lights so I gave the extra one to a friend. I like that I can switch each one on and off individually to use just one, two, or all three, and I like that they are not battery operated. They were super easy to install. I pre-drilled the holes which was my personal preference, and even with that, installation just took less than 10 minutes each. They snap right into the brackets which hold them pretty tight. I'm so pleased with these lights that for the first few days I was saying, "Yay!" every time I used one. They are exactly what I needed.
