I pre-ordered these under-counter lights because I read the product announcement at CES and was anxiously awaiting their availability. As a backstory, I have a fairly nice home, but had cheap fluorescent lighting in the kitchen. It was never bright enough to read cookbooks by, and I never liked the artificial look. Meanwhile, I was replacing different sized fluorescent tubes at a constant rate. Finally, the ballast failed on the longest light, and I decided I’d replace it with a quality product.
Initially I was drawn to this lightbar because of the end-to-end light emitting capacity, and the interesting new smarthome features. Little did I know, I was buying an easy-to-install product with GREAT features for the DIYer. After I removed the old light unit, I found that this new system has color-coded wire connectors inside the housing so once you push your house wiring into place, they’re locked! No crimping and no twist-on wire caps! And, once you’re ready to install it under your cabinet, the system has pre-installed screws… So you won’t have to worry about dropping any behind your cabinets.
The system supports joining multiple fixtures, so if you have cabinets of usual size, or want a long run of light, you can combine up to 10 (!) powered by a single 120v/60hz wire. I connected two of this model together for my cabinet, and if I had one gripe; it is that the connector doesn’t lock into place when connected. My solution was to install one fixture and then press the other against the first one as I screwed it down.
The system powered up like a dream. I installed the Cync software on my phone and configured the light, and it showed me the difference between standard and “GE Reveal” light.
Now I can read cookbooks with amazing clarity and take beautiful Instagram photos of the food I’m cooking. Family and visitors have already commented on how much nicer the kitchen looks now that I have quality lighting to cook and eat with.
