Reply to: Kirkarch, thank you for starting this thread, and thank you to everyone who responded to this, as well as those posting photos, as we are also very confused! I'd been searching online for those with a diffuser, and I didn't want the dot reflections - I was having a hard time finding them. islandgarden, your post if very helpful. I was aware of color temperatures, and didn't want anything cool, as they seem to give me headaches for some odd reason - but I didn't know what was what.

Reply to: I love the Luxbar lights! The quality of the light is perfect and we actually use the lights as task lighting rather than accent lighting. We placed the bars toward the front of the upper cabinets so it lights up more of the countertop area. I chose the warm 2800K lights which is a nice warm color. I also did not pay extra for the dimmer transformer because I didn't feel that I needed to dim the under cabinet lights. My electrician was able to locate the transformer in our basement near our electrical panel so I didn't have to worry about finding a place for it in a cabinet. My electrician also used these white plastic covers to hide the cords which worked out nicely. I priced out a lot of different lights and components and found that the Luxbar were the best value for my needs and kitchen layout. I ordered mine through SuperBrightLeds. One of the bars I ordered was not working properly and the company replaced it for me very quickly. I also spoke with them over the phone before ordering and they helped me select the correct mounting clips, transformers and connection cords that I needed. Here are a few photos of what the lights look like and how they were installed. I'll add another photo of what they look at night.

Reply to: this is the under cabinet lighting we went with. We found it at affordablequalitylighting.com. It doesn't create the pinpoints of light and has a very thin profile.

Reply to: You should be able to use one transformer for multiple lights. I have the transformer in an upper cabinet over the microwave. This was my install diagram.
