    High Quality, Superior Lighting

    Posted by Joe & Mary on Feb 15th 2018

    My wife and I are very satisfied with the appearance, build quality and lighting from these led light bars. This fixture emits consistent non-harsh light without any hot spots. The install is fairly straight forward and easy even for a novice like myself and we are happy with our decision to order these led bars from AQLighting. We will definitely be ordering more of these fixtures from AQLighting to complete our under-counter kitchen lighting project.

    Fabulous Light!

    Posted by Dave S. on Feb 15th 2018

    I needed three lights but only purchased one to see how strong and what color the light would be compared to a lighted stove vent in the same area. LOVE the light! Will now order two more....

    Love!!!

    Superb Lighting

    Posted by Geoff on Feb 15th 2018

    We purchased these 32" under cabinet lights to replace 48" fluorescents. The reviews regarding the brightness of these lights made us decide to install dimmers, but they were not as bright as we were led to believe. Ultimately, dimmers were not needed, but provided great versatility when dim area lighting is desired. Great lights!

    Exceeded My Expectations

    Posted by Tim PDX on Feb 15th 2018

    This LED under cabinet light exceeded my wildest expectations for quality, performance and design. It's appearance is contemporary and understated. The quality of design and materials, such as the platinum finish, wide, even, light dispersion, tempered glass and pleasing 2700 degree Kelvin rating made this purchase a real deal! I'm ordering six additional lights to replace halogen under cabs.

    Great Light and a Good Price

    Posted by Graham D. on Feb 15th 2018

    These are good under-counter lighting units. Their color temp is very even and they dim well. Their construction is good considering the price point; the push-on connectors are nice. The interconnect cables could use a bit more positive insertion feeling, but I'm knit-picking.

    I Like My Lights

    Posted by Peter D. on Feb 1st 2018

    I received my order of two under cabinet lights last week after waiting for over two months. They are great lights and I am very happy with them. However, one of the lights was defective upon arrival. When I attached the jumper cable it would not light. Rather than waste another two months of shipping it back and waiting for a new light I took it apart. One of the three pins in the female plug was not inserted all the way. Again, I'm enjoying the lights but the wait time plus the lack of quality control are disappointing.

    Highly Recommended by a Pro!

    Posted by Canyon Designs LLC on Feb 1st 2018

    I design and remodel kitchens for a living. I've installed a lot of under cabinet lights and these are going to be my new standard. They are very well designed, great quality, and easy to install, They dim very nicely too with a $15 dimmer. The only thing I'd criticize is the knock-out. It was quite difficult to remove. Next time I'll drill it out. These went into my own kitchen and my wife loves them. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
