As for installation, this has to be the easiest wiring job I've ever done. It's literally plug and play. I drilled one hole to pass the wire through the top of my cabinet to hide the plug. Otherwise it's all 2-sided tape and screws. A screwdriver is the only tool I needed. The kit included everything I needed and then some. The ONLY thing I would change is a few more screws would be nice. I like to screw everything in addition to using the 2-sided tape and the number of screws was plenty for the LED strips and some of the wire bundle holders, but I could have used a few more for the wire bundles holders. It's a minor complaint though as my use of screws is likely overkill. I just wanted to make sure that over time the wires don't fall down due to gravity pulling on the two sided tape. I ended up just using the 2-sided tape on a handful of wiring bundle holders until I can buy a few more screws.
The kit came packaged very well and I got it in a matter of days Priority Mail. I can also buy add on parts or accessories directly from Inspired LED if I need to. This kit is so nice and easy to install I may install more on top of my cabinets to light up the plant ledge. I actually ended up using 1 extra LED strip for this and it looks great. I'll try and add a customer picture to the product page to give you an idea.
In short, you won't regret buying this kit. My only regret is not doing this earlier. It would have really helped during the installation of the backsplash to provide some nice work lights.

This is an excellent solution for undercabinet lighting in our kitchen. The warm-white LEDs look much better than the commonly available cold white LEDs. And installation couldn't be much easier. Our cabinets had a little overhang, which made for a perfect installation for these very thin light strips. The strips and wiring are not visible at all unless you stick your head under the cabinet. I plan to connect the transformers to the overhead lighting circuit so they all come ON together. I bought the package that included the dimmer, but did not use/need it, so if I did this again, I'd order the less expensive package without the dimmer. Your needs may vary (e.g., if you're lighting a china cabinet or similar).
See the before-after photo I uploaded for this product. That portion of the kitchen shown used 7 of the 10 strips that came with this package. Looks pretty good, heh?

I purchased this kit for undercounter lighting in my kitchen (replacing a 10 year old Westek Halogen system).Major positive points about the product:
-Kit was smaller than expected
-Easier install than expected (Peel and stick-unless you want to use screws, which are also provided-no real need since product is so lightweight)
-Better light output than expected (better that old Halogens)
-2 Dimmers included that have 4 levels of light (more than expected)
-2 On/Off switches (in addition to dimmers)
-More than enough connectors cables (which are really thin)
-More than enough hangers (to hold connector cables out of the way)
-Found out that they have other products for other applications (check their website-or call them to discuss custom applications-Yes, they will make custom lights for you, if needed!)
-Got flexible strip lighting (see their website-)) for rear edge of 65" HDTV-creates great ambient lighting behind TV against back wall (like a halo) around screen-seems to ease eye strain and picture seems better, plus creates nice room lighting.
-Considering other applications now-like above cabinet and under footboard lighting as well as attic, garage, workshop, crown molding, etc. due to ease of install, great light output and reasonalble price for such low power consumption and long led life (something like 100,000 hours-that's over 11 years of continuous lighting-if you ran lights 12 hours/day, that's over 22 years!)
Major positive points about the service:
-Product arrived quickly and well packaged
-Had questions and was able to call and speak to the Company owner (on the weekend, no less) as well as email.
-Had a problem w/one of the 2 power supply's-It was replaced immediately at no charge.
-Company Owner-Jim told me he had an led setup as a test at his home, running continuosly, outside in the weather, for 2 years straight; hasn't failed yet. I expect to get many years of use from these and will purchase again from Inspired LED.
I have since told numerous people about my recent experience w/Inspired LED and suggested they checkout their products if they are interested in this type of lighting. You will not be disappointed with the products or the service from Jim or his staff at Inspired LED.

I'm happy with the way these look under our brand new maple basement cabinets. One complaint is they come with 10 of the 3' long (that's a whopping 3 feet long) interconnect cables. I cannot imagine any situation in which these lights would be placed 3 feet apart. In order to get the light intensity level we wanted, we attached all 10 of the light strips to an 8 feet wide stretch of cabinets. So, basically, we pretty much overlapped the lights to get the light level we wanted. As such, it would have been very nice to have 10 interconnecting cables of about 3 inches in length, rather than 3 feet. The long cables required us to tack up the 9 bundles of cable wire, which make the installation look messy if you bend down to have a look. Give the height of the cabinets, you don't see the cables (especially from across the room), but our cabinets include a writing desk, and you do see the extra wires when sitting. Another negative is that the dimmer switches seem pretty fragile and sensitive, kind of like some LED flashlights in which it's hard to dial in (click in) the proper light setting without a few tries of clicking through the dim to bright settings.One of the LED light strips broke, either during shipping or during my installation (they seem pretty fragile). The result of this was that the lights after the particularly strip did not light, similar to a Christmas tree strand of lights in which one light goes out the rest in line goes out). Anyhow, I sent an email to the supplier (Inspired LED) on a Sunday morning, and they called me back within the hour (I provided my phone number) to trouble shoot the problem. The man apologized and suggested a temporary fix while they immediately sent me a replacement LED light strip. It arrived within a couple days. I was very impressed with the service provided.
