Are 15, 18, or 24 inch lights intended for 15, 18, and 24 inch cabinets? Or, do I have to buy a smaller light than the cabinet size?

Not sure why these people said no. You must go a little smaller that your cabinet to allow room to plug in the wires

You will have to buy a light smaller than the cabinet. The lights boxes themselves are 15, 18 or 24 inches but the power wire comes out of the end so you will need another 2 or 3 inches of space to mount them properly.

I saw 8W or 15W CFL's that size at a OSH hardware store here in California, but I do not remember if they are the colour correct type. The ones on the dickblick website have one part # for 2 different sizes?

I can't answer that as I mounted the lights away from the wall, about 1 1/2" back from the front edge of the upper cabinets. I thought mounting like this put the light closer to the working areas of the countertop below and minimized shadows from anything on the counter top (like the coffee maker). I can tell you these lights are very bright and we often use just these and not our overhead lights when working in the kitchen. Also, they are so small and thin, you can put them about anywhere without seeing them. We've had them installed over a year now and they still work perfectly. For under cabinet lighting, I would highly recommend these.

It depends on how much light you want. The cords between lights are plenty long (3 feet). We placed a light under each of our 18 inch cabinets which makes it very bright when they are on full power. We could have gone with every other cabinet for a warmer feel (which we get with the low setting on the dimmer).

I have one set of cabinets that is 60 inches long (5Ft) and I use 4 of the 8" strips to light that area and it is more than sufficient. That would indicate that the ten strips provided would easily light your 12Ft. You get 85 inches of light strips in this kit than figure approximately 2 inches between strips with the short connectors ( order enough of these) . Unless you are performing surgical procedures this should be plenty of light on high setting. You can always order them individually from this vendor should you want to expand the lighted area. That is one of the real nice things about this system...flexibility!!

Not sure what you mean by small can lights, however I have mine installed in a ceiling recessed can fixture. If you currently have br30 bulbs in your lights these should work fine.

Yes these are 12 in long, trust me you will not need more than one per cabinet. They are brighter than you think

ten (10 inches... you might get away with something less....but it no matter the size of your kitchen or wherever you want to hang these, anything less looks skimpy, I would think...unless you have a really really small place you are considering for this light.

If you have the lights underneath there is not enough room. Less than 1" under my cabinet after installation. Underneath my cabinet measures 10 7/8". Maybe yours is larger? I do love this device in my small galley kitchen.

Definitely....I used 3 18" under 3 - 32" wide and 16" tall upper cabinets (8' total) at 32" above counter and they provide excellent brightness and coverage. I also added a dimmer (made sure it was for LEDs) since full brightness is not needed all the time.

Dennis, i don't have measurements handy because their at my office, HOWEVER, if you can afford better lights, i highly recommend it. In terms of light, they're fine. Mine arrived without screws to hold the plastic on the back of the lights. of course there are no matches at Home Depot, ACE or any other hardware store i shop. i regret buying these.

You want full coverage of your tank. The minimum sizes of the fixtures are the actual length of the light bar, and then there are legs that pull out to extend to fit onto larger tanks. If you tank is 24" wide, you definitely want the 24" fixture, else you'll have a light that only lights up the middle, with 3" of unlit area to each side.

They're sized for "standard" (E27) lights. I had intended to use this with 4x 100W equivalent CFL bulbs, and found it to actually be too bright for my space and went down to 4x 60W equivalent bulbs.

Thank you for your inquiry. If overall length of 2 cabinets is 22 feet, I would like to say one 12 panel kit would be enough with extra power supply and dimmer switch (one of each). Please feel free to let us know if you have any question. Customer Service Lightkiwi

Honestly the lights are super bright so that wouldn't be the issue. However they are really small. Vanity lights are typically larger and are down lights. This is better for pointing in different directions.

It took 4 8" panels for me to about aproximate the light given off by the 18" flouresent light they were replacing over my sink. I pu two panels each under 3 24" cabinets. They work great but be sure to mount them such that you don't make eye contact with them, they are painful to look into.

I have a27" cabinet with one 12" light, two 12" will not fit, because of the connector between the two plus the power plug coming in the end. A 12 and a 6 may work If you feel the need for more light. 3 12" would not work with a 36" cabinet . Two 12" or add a 6" for more . The 12" light strip measures just over 11&3/4", add about 1&1/4" for the power plug, double that if you are continuing on to another cabinet, and the butt connector for two lights is about 5/8". Hope this was helpful
