Under Cabinets

Best Choice: LED Under Cabinet Fixtures
LEDs are highly efficient, with low operating costs, minimal heat and long lamp life. LED fixtures also have tremendous light output and quality to match. These fixtures are designed to be direct-wired so no power chord is visible and your outlets remain available for other small appliances.

Alternate Choices:

• LED Tape Lighting is an efficient LED light source that is ultra-thin and flexible. The sleek profile of tape light allows for mounting in almost any location and its efficiency allows for long runs. The drawback to LED tape lighting systems is that they deliver a lower lumen output than LED Fixtures, meaning slightly less task light.
• Xenon Under Cabinet Fixtures provide light output and quality that are nearly equivalent to LED fixtures, but at a lower upfront cost. However, since they are not as efficient as LEDs, the long-term cost to operate the Xenon fixture is greater. Additionally, Xenon fixtures produce a great deal of heat and the bulbs do not last as long as their LED counterparts.
