At this price, you'd think these fixtures would come on when you flip the switch and then stay on without flickering and strobing. Well, they don't. I suspect it's due to inferior electronics because the problems are very transient from fixture to fixture, but always present somewhere among the 20 fixtures I had installed by a very competent electrician. Of all the purchases I made in a major remodel, this is the one I regret the most. This was $1,500 worth of product and they are simply aggravating. Having to climb up onto a kitchen counter to re-set a strobing fixture on top of cabinets near the ceiling every time I turn them on gets old real fast. On top of all that, they have very inconsistent color rendition, very noticeable when shining onto a white ceiling. The reseller I got these from no longer carries them and American Fluorescent, the manufacturer, won't respond to e-mails. Maybe they know these things were "not ready for prime time." Steer clear of these.

Dimensions are 0.9" x 6" x 9.25" approx. It is small enough to put two or three beneath a 3ft kitchen cabinet. You will need at least two per 3ft cabinet, and perhaps three if you want really bright light. It works well, giving sufficient illumination, although you will not be blinded by light. I bought six of them, and the odd LED went out right from the beginning, but no more blew out. I am still using them, and like their light, their looks and illumination. Their illumination is special, because the light is spread out over the whole panel. Many LED illuminators have two or three or so very bright LEDs that are a bit blinding in one spot. These just plug in the wall, while if you want to hardwire them, you have to buy an extra box, which is about a third the size of the light itself and even a bit thicker. The color temperature is variable. Some of the units I bought had a yellowish light, while others were more like white light. I will be buying more, and I expect they will last a long time. Mine have been in for about 18 months, as I write.Its now a number of years since I wrote this review The lights have very slowly dimmed over time, and two out of about 12 of them flicker on their most bright setting. There are two settings operated by a small push switch on the face of the device. The less bright setting causes the flickering to stop.

Bought 10 units for under and over cabn lighting. I have had to replace 4 of the 10 units in less than a year. The units begin to flicker, then go out. So far no cost to replace, but concerned after the warranty runs out.Honest reviews on American Fluorescent DDU28LED Diode 28 Undercabinet Light, Energy
Nice product. Easy install. Low profile. Not as bright as other technology, but no heat & low power. Should last forever. I'll probably link some more together...Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for American Fluorescent DDU28LED Diode 28 Undercabinet Light, Energy
I don't own this so forget my star rating. Would love to know if the size fits under my cabinets. How about some dimensions, duh? If the individual LED lights can be replaced, what is the size? can I buy them anywhere? Home Depot, Amazon? Information is sadly lacking.
