The corner area of my kitchen counter near my sink was poorly lit by our overhead lighting and it's where I keep and use my 3" butcher-block style cutting board (at 30 pounds, it doesn't want to move easily). To make matters even worse, my body blocks the overhead lighting when I use the cutting board, which is almost daily. I first tried battery operated LED lights, but they didn't light the board evenly and I found I was using up 8 AA alkaline batteries (4/light) every week.I ordered one of these GE fixtures hoping it would at least solve my battery use problem. The installation instructions were clear and concise, and the light was very easy to put up. When I turned it on, it was "instant" light with no flicker. It reached full brightness (equivalent, I'd say, to a 60 watt incandescent bulb) in about a minute and there was no annoying hum. The very next thing I did was order a second one from Amazon. Now, with two "linked" so that I use just the one plug (but they turn on/off independently), my entire dark corner is no more. I now use my main overhead less often (160 watts of fluorescent tubes) and leave these on (total: 30 watts) and save money on my electric bill which, over time, will cover the cost of these fixtures. In this instance, I got to have my cake and eat it, too!

I needed an under-cabinet light to illuminate my 3" cutting board. I have grown fond of my fingertips, and my kitchen lighting put my board in my body's shadow making it difficult to see well what I was cutting. I had installed some battery-powered LED lighting strips also sold by GE, but the 6 batteries needed in each of the 2 remote controlled lights lasted for less than 2 hours at full brightness making it expensive in the long run. Furthermore, the LEDs lit up only what was directly below them. On a 20" cutting board much was still left dim.For reasons of economy and in the hope that I would get more and better lighting coverage, I decided to try this light. I wanted sturdy construction, minimum profile, instant-on function and a light that would illuminate my entire 20x20 cutting board and not just a portion of it. With a full metal housing, this fixture does it all. I get a bright and steady light perfect for my needs. As the light is linkable, I will be buying another 3 to surround my entire sink area.

Cheaper in the local large hardware store.Slim, you have to figure out what to do with the cords if you link them otherwise they hang there looking bad, but otherwise go to your local L**** or H*** D**** for better prices.
