I installed a total of 17 lights in our kitchen. (I bought this pack and then additional sets of lights, a power supply, and dimmer from them directly.) I have two circuits of lights each running off a dimmer tied to switches on the wall.
Pros:
low profile lights so they are hidden as well as possible under your cabinets
it seems like a good price for what you get compared to several other options I researched
the light output is great, and I like being able to adjust this using the 4 position dimmer
Cons:
None
Note: You can splice their cables and buy a spool of cable from a local home improvement store to make cables in any length you want. This was especially handy when running cable behind walls and from one set of cabinets to another.

I installed these under my kitchen cabinets and am very happy with them. I have a power outlet in an upper cabinet where the microwave plugs in. I plugged the LED power supply into the extra plug. I then drilled holes inside the cabinets and ran the wiring down to the bottom of the cabinets. The LEDs come with self-stick tape but I didn't think it would adhere to the particle board cabinet bottom very well so I chose to use the supplied screws to mount the LEDs under the cabinets. I did put one LED on the bottom of the microwave and used the self-stick tape without an issue. If you do this be sure and clean the mounting surface as any grease or oil splatter will prevent the tape from sticking.They are rather industrial looking so they are meant to be mounted out of sight. However, this is not an issue for installing under the cabinets where they are not seen.
I was a little worried about the brightness but that is not an issue at all. They are very bright.
I use the supplied dimmer and leave it on low most all the time as a night light. I only use high when cooking. They are super-efficient so this only uses a few watts of power.
All in all these are a little pricy but I really like them. I think I will install some additional LED's inside the lower cabinets. There is an outlet for the dishwasher which will be perfect to power them no more having to get the flashlight to see in the back of the cabinets.

You will not need dynamite to be blown away with this product package arrived ahead of the expected deliver date, and exceeded my expectations on how bright they are and how simple it is to install and use. After the fact I ordered the remote wireless controller as well. If you are thinking of undercabinet lighting definetly go with Inspired LED Lighting products. All questions I had and communications with the company even BEFORE I was a paying customer were answered quickly and with detailed information.I ordered the Cool White light color as the granite counter top I have has gold / yellow in it and I did not want to accent with a warm / golden hue of the Warm White color option. My backsplash is offwhite tumbled marble, and I reflect the light to the backsplach and let it reflect back and outwards. Mounting is simple, for me a used two small blocks of quarter round stock, first mounting the LED stick to the "round" side of the stock, and then using a silicon caulk to "stick" the flat edge of the stock against the back (inside / under)of the front cabinet bottom. This mounts the LED strip at a 45 degree angle to bounce the light off the backsplash and eliminate the possibility of a glare of the LED hitting the granite countertop straight on.
The effect of undercabinet lighting alone is amazing, having a simple plug and play solution make the installation quick and easy. Do not underestimate this product based on size, in fact having the components in a smaller footprint is one of the many "plus" features. If you are handy with a wire cutter and either a soildering iron, or crimp on connectors you can cut any of the wiring bundles to length and splice the two ends together.
