    8 inch led

    Posted by Carol on Sep 17th 2018

    I had my husband hardwire two 8in bars on the cabinets on each side of the stove to give me more task lighting. Why I chose this product was because I like it had glass instead of plastic parts. He also put in a switch next to the stovel so all I have to do is to turn the lights on is flip on the switch. When my granite countertops get installed I might install to 10 in in the corner if needed, and all I have to do is just jump off of the two that are already there. I am so glad that I found these lights because I looked at the big box stores online and at Amazon and I couldn't find anything that I liked. I read all the reviews on this site from the contractors who install these often and that helped in my decision to to buy. I have had them about 2 weeks and I just love them. I've got another 2 to 3 weeks for my granite countertop to come in to really get the full effect. And then I might order two more for my corner cabinets and all I would have to do is just jump off of those two that are already installed.

    under cabinet liht

    Posted by Thomas on Sep 17th 2018

    I replaced 10 halogen light bars with the AQUC light bars. They are by far the best product I could find. The metal feels strong and is very well finished. The color of the light is very pleasing and close to the color of the halogen bulbs. I wired in Lutron dimmers so I can dim for special situations such as parties. These fixtures were about 1/4 inch less thick than my old fixtures and it was a bit challenging when there were more than one romex feeding in. I think in most installations you will have more than one romex. When removing the knockouts use a small thin screwdriver to open the knockout then use a needle nose to work it back and forth and it will not bend the rear panel. I am so very satisfied and would recommend these to any one. I found it somewhar difficult to work under the cabinets but I am an older guy. I change one or two at a time and found this was ok for me.

    Great product

    Posted by Neil Eastman on Sep 14th 2018

    A suggestion to make this a more perfect product. Fix the punch outs to not be so securely attached. Potential damage to the light fixture when removing them. Also, a design that increased the thickness and depth by about 1/2 inch would certainly help tuck the wires and even let Romex enter the enclosure. Currently it is very difficult to install the cover after direct installation, especially if house wiring is daisy chained to multiple lights.

    This is a very good light fixture

    Posted by DYI Lady on Mar 13th 2018

    This fixture is just as it is presented on the web site. It is actually a better quality than I expected, and installation was not difficult. It gives great light. My only complaint is that the knock-outs are very small. If you have several under cabinet lights hardwired to one switch, you will have two hot wires, two neutral wires and two ground wired feeding all but the last fixture in the line. The diameter of the knockout is not large enough to easily thread all of these wires into the fixture and the romex connector will not carry the 6 wires at all. You can make it work by eliminating the Romex connector and forcing the wires through the knock-out, but it is probably not to code.
