Good Earth Lighting's GLS line of fluorescent undercabinet lighting fixtures offer you an economical, no-nonsense lighting solution. These units are highly efficient--they're Energy Star rated--so they'll save you money over time. Plus, the built-in electronic ballast gives you flicker-free light that--unlike many fluorescent models--lights up instantly with a flip of the on switch.

The GLS series is linkable, which means that you can install just one, or you can link multiple units together with the included connector cord. You simply plugs the units together--there's no complicated wiring to mess with.

The GLS9013-WH-1 comes in a nice, clean white finish, and measures 12-1/2 by 2-3/5 by 1 inches, length by width by depth. For more wattage in the same line, see #GLS9013-WH-I. UL listed.--Josh Dettweiler

I ordered one of these for a stereo cabinet and showed it to the wife who immediately requested two more for the kitchen and her sewing area. Mounting consists of two clips held by a single screw in each, and which will clip anywhere along the body of the light, making mounting simple. The clips are not designed for easy removal, they must be pried loose. This makes mounting secure, but may complicate bulb replacement a bit. There is a rocker switch at the cord end which is easy enough to find by feel when the unit is mounted under an overhang. The fixture is barely larger than the fluorescent tube itself, which allowed me to mount it on the back of the cabinet trim so that it illuminated the electronic gear without shining in my eyes. I had been looking at LED lights, but this was much less expensive for the light output and still uses a lot less power than the incandescent mini-spots that I had in the cabinet before. If the manufacturer would just forgo the clam shell packaging, these would be close to perfect.

My fixture arrived today and installed 10 minutes later. Having owned many fixtures like this and a huge number of T8 fixtures in my business, I knew from the start to order a T5 bulb with a higher color temp. For me, 6500k or daylight will suit my needs over a small counter where I use a Vita-Mix and cutting board.

People don't seem to get the fact that the bulb in this fixture is likely the lowest temp, thus yellowish.
For only 3-4 bucks you can solve the problem with a little knowledge. Match the number for the bulb (F13T5 13watt 20 inch) and choose something in the middle or high color range. There are a few right here on Amazon that work.

The case and plugs are good quality for such a low price. I see this exact fixture at local big stores for 30-40 bucks.
It remains to be seen how long the electronic ballast will last, but the design is clean and it's easy to install.

Best To All

I like everything about this product but the switch is a bit difficult to find and use. The 13watt bulb is perfect for under cabinet use in the kitchen. I wish it was designed to hide the bulb once installed. I'm tall enough that I don't see the bulb when working at the counter but it would just look better out of sight.
A good buy for the money.
