Reviews of Feit Electric 72053 9-Watt Compact Fluorescent Under cabinet Light

Customer Ratings:

I installed these units (originally purchased from Lowes) under my Kitchen cabinets. I thought fluorescent lights would have a long life. Instead, these expensive bulbs have about 1/3 the life of a standard 40 W incandescent lamp. I am spending a fortune buying replacement bulbs. Also, these must be the hottest fluorescent bulbs I have ever seen. They will discolor the inside of the cabinet they are mounted to, they are so hot!

Be forewarned, these seem pretty sexy; They're small and flat with good light output and they use direct 110 so no transformers, and with promising "10,000 hour" lifetime (right on the packaging) the Feit under cabinet fluorescent puck lights seem great. The problem is that they don't last 1/4th as long as promised! I have been using these intermittently for exactly 18 months and 3 of the four of them now have burnt out (curiously, all at the same time) and need replacing. They're about 10 bucks a piece btw. Doing this again, I would steer away from these buggers and get some LED lights (which will likely come much closer to the rated life of the Feits). What is surprising is that Feit would not make an LED version, since they distribute some other LED products. Similar reviews follow this product elsewhere on the web.

Do not be fooled by the small wattage number. It emits the same heat as a 40 watt incandecent bulb and therefore burns out in less that one month. Also can't be used in a closed display case. This is stated on the package but was not explained in the write-up. So much for fluorescent being a cool light.

I will attempt to more fully explain my coment since there seems to be some disagreement or disbelief in my review. I used simple common since deduction in my reasoning to order these 9v bulbs. I use 40 watt fluorescent worksop bulbs in my garadge and change them with bare hands all the time without burning my hands. Therefore I deduced that 9 volt fluorescent would be luke warm.
