The Direct Wire Under Cabinet LED Fixture is a popular under cabinet fixture that features a sleek, clean design with superior lighting capabilities. It offers a simple one piece installation and maintenance-free performance for up to 50,000 hours. This stylish fixture comes in a sturdy aluminum housing with a glossy, powder-coated white finish, and is available in 3 sizes to fit your individual lighting needs.

Our under cabinet fixture emits very little heat but shines brightly with a warm white color of light that is comparable to the color of halogen under cabinet lights. The diffuser lens of this high-quality light fixture is made of glass and spreads the LED light evenly without diminishing the brightness of the superior Nichia LED chips.

This Under Cabinet LED Fixture is powered by standard 120V power but offers the power savings of energy-efficient LED lighting. This UL Listed LED fixture can be directly connected to standard household wiring, or plugged into a wall outlet with an included power cable.

Designed for simple operation, this under cabinet fixture can be turned on and off with the house wiring circuit or with the built-in on/off rocker switch. It can also be dimmed with selected commonly-available magnetic low voltage dimmer switches (also known as a forward phase dimmer switch). For installations involving multiple lighting units, an 18-inch inter-connector accessory cable is included, which allows daisy-chaining of up to 32 under cabinet lights.

This high quality under cabinet light fixture combines style with simplicity for a superior lighting solution to illuminate a single area under a cabinet, above a counter, or a complete under cabinet lighting project.

  1. Excellent product

    Reviewed on April 29, 2013 by Gilbert

    It works better than the web page where I reviewed its characteristics.
  2. Replaced our fluorescent with these

    Reviewed on April 25, 2013 by Karen

    We replaced our old fluorescent lights both above & below our cabinets with these lights. These give off much more light and we do not have to keep turning them off & on to get them all to light. Definitely would recommend.
  3. Made the Right Choice

    Reviewed on February 27, 2013 by Dave G

    These lights are great! LED under cabinet was the right choice as they give off a clear non-glaring light, do not get hot, and are dimmable. I have 8 lights, direct wire, which are completely contained with no messy wiring or transformers to hide. They all come on with the flick of the wall switch. It's nice to know that they can be individually turned off, if desired, as each light contains a switch. It's a nice neat package which provides excellent light, not to mention energy efficiency.
  4. Very Nice Product

    Reviewed on February 22, 2013 by PFM

    When I purchased my new house in 2000 the under cabinet lighting was fluorescent. I really dislike fluorescent so I replaced them with halogen. The halogen looked great, but I was changing burnt out bulbs frequently and the fixtures generated a lot of heat. Now that LED is getting better I am slowly replacing every light source on my home with LED and these fixtures worked out great. They were easy to install and they do dim. The light is not as warm as I would like and the dimming is not as smooth or variable as the halogen. Maybe as LED gets more developed they will be an exact replacement for incandescent or halogen lighting, but for now these are a good alternative.
  5. Great replacement for fluorescent

    Reviewed on February 7, 2013 by Jim

    I had old fluorescent fixtures in my kitchen - the bulbs/tubes needed constant replacement, and then the ballasts died. I just lived with no under cabinet lighting until I discovered this product.

    This fixture was great as an easy to install replacement - worked with existing wiring (via direct connect). It required less than 2 hours to change 5 fixtures. The warm lighting looks a lot better.

  1. If I sell my home later, will this fixture pass inspection?

    From Garrett at 9/25/12 11:17 AM
    Yes this fixture is UL certified for home use either direct connected to your 120V home power circuit or plugged into a 3-prong power outlet.
  2. Can this fixture be plugged into an outlet?

    From B.C. at 9/25/12 11:23 AM
    Yes, you can connect it directly to an outlet using the included 3-prong power cable.
  3. Do I need an external power supply for this fixture?

    From Barrett at 9/25/12 11:24 AM
    No, you don’t need any additional components. This LED fixture has a built-in low voltage transformer that allows you to connect it directly to either an outlet using the included power cable, or directly to the wiring for your old fixture.
  4. How do I connect this fixture to power?

    From jane at 9/25/12 11:25 AM
    There are two ways: you can plug it directly to an outlet using the included power cable, or you can directly connect it to the wiring from your house. If you choose direct connection you can use the 120V wires that were running to an old fixture, or any 120V wiring from your house power.
  5. Can I install this light bar myself?

    From Jim at 9/25/12 11:27 AM
    Yes, the housing is attached to a surface using just two screws, and then is either plugged into an outlet, or wired to your house power like any other light fixture.
  6. How is this fixture different from a fluorescent under cabinet fixture?

    From Harrison at 9/25/12 11:28 AM
    Compared to fluorescent lights it has a significantly longer life (50,000 hours), uses less electricity (half the power) and it has a much more kitchen friendly light quality (warm white light color rather than the harsher white light common with fluorescent lights).
  7. Does this fixture work with my current dimmer switch?

    From mondo at 9/25/12 11:29 AM
    Yes! This fixture is dimmable with most commonly available dimmers. Please see the Tech Specs for a list of recommended compatible switches.
