Is this safe to install over a kitchen sink? I have been looking at several plug-in lights and they all say not to install them over a sink.

In my opinion if light is mounted high enough over sink there should be no problem as light is very low voltage.

This light is battery operated, therefore it should be able to be placed over a sink. The batteries are in the back and the light bulbs are covered with a lense. As long as the light is not immersed in water it should be fine.

I cannot imagine this would give you any problems. It is not terribly bright, but it stays securely in place and has no wires.

Yes, since it is either battery or 6v transformer. But it is not very bright.

Yes. In my bath room, the electrical power source is approx. 12 inches off center of the sink. There is enough electrical wire (length) so that the light fixture can be located where needed.

We thought so, but turned out it didn't work off the 'dimmer switch' after all. Bummer. I should have spoken with the folks at Inspiredled (http://inspiredled.com) before ordering the lights, but now that they installed under our kitchen cabinets, I like the 'look'. We did buy their 'dimmer' switch for another strip of flexible lights and it works really nice. I must say, these lights are the best lights out there and they are so easy to install. If you have any questions, go to their website and watch their videos. They also have an email address as well as a toll free number to call and speak with someone. They are super nice folk.

Alex, I am very sorry to hear that you are having trouble. We bought our sinks for a new home and we have not progressed to the point of installing bathroom fixtures and it a couple months away. I hope you find a solution and, if so, please post your findings. Good luck.

Possibly but would recommend it. Glass is heavy and I would trust to stay. Lighting is great going up. We have two over our two sinks and it's very bright. Dimmer switch for night is a good idea.

Led lights only generate a slight amount... I never had any issues and I have them mounted under my kitchen cabinets... Excellent upgrade!!

Don't know what your particular use of the light kit will be, but I used them on my kitchen cabinets. Was able to use the outlet behind the refrigerator for one set; dishwasher outlet under the sink for another and had an outlet installed in the wall when the house was built which ended up inside the end cabinet for the 3rd string. Don't think wiring direct is a good option. What plugs in the wall is the transformer to step down the voltage. It's about 3 inches long and 1 inch square. From there a 4' (approx.)cord plugs into another little white box that powers the light strip and controls the remote sensor which has to peek out somewhere to receive the signal from the remote. They're not that noticable. Hiding all this by taping to the back of the fridge for one and to the inside walls of the cabinets, keeping out of the way of sliding drawers, etc. It might be best to just install an outlet inside a cabinet. I'm very pleased with my results. The remote works great and you can control the brightness of the lights. One other thing....when installing the light strip itself, some times the sticky backside doesn't stick so well. For those problem areas, I put a thin bead of super glue on it and taped it up with a narrow (1/4") strip of gorilla tape. No more problem. Sorry this answer is so long, but I hope it helps. Have a great day!

Hi, I just climbed up, took off the diffuser, and wrote down this information from the bulb: F13T5/3000K. I didn't take the bulb out, so I'm not sure precisely, but it's about 20 inches long, give or take half an inch. It is 1 inch thick. I also pulled out the instruction sheet. The instructions say "See the label on the fixture for replacement bulb type information. Do not replace with any other wattage of fluorescent bulb." So, you'd have to get the same wattage bulb (13 watts). They didn't specify that it has to be warm white, so I'd guess that you can probably go with cool white. I see online that there are such bulbs: F13T5/CW. If you want to double-check, you can contact GE or Jasco Products, which is the manufacturer: www.jascoproducts.com. I hope that this helps! By the way, in reading through the tiny print in the instructions, I see that this fixture is NOT supposed to be used over a sink, which is exactly where I put mine! However, my fixture is at least 4 feet over the sink, so I hope that it's fine this way. I've had it for almost a year now.

I have never had an issue with water but mine are not that close to my sink. You could always add a touch of silicone to prevent water to drip down. If its that close to water make sure you install a GFI receptacle to plug it into.

It's just not safe to mount the heater below an electrical outlet. The cord from a plugged in item could drape on to the heater or the heat rising could over heat the outlet causing an unsafe situation. When it comes to the safety of your home, I always try to think of the worst situation and what could happen. Never take that chance. Your safety is of the utmost importance.

I have installed it on top of the cabinet with clips that came with the sink. It will also install under the cabinet top. The top flange is only about 1/16th of an inch thick which makes it very unobtrusive.This is a top quality product and is packed in bulletproof carton

The actual fixture isn't critical. You might want to try it on one and then on the other. One of the things you need to consider is the location of the power outlet you need to power the pump. I placed my pump at what I thought "might" be the greatest distance, but more so where I could easily find an outlet...under the kitchen sink. The only thing I caution is the sound of the pump. I can't hear it, but my wife has complained that she hears it and it bothers her, but she likes the hot water at the kitchen sink!

If I am understanding your question correctly, I would say "no", it installs over a regular electrical box, similar to installing an overhead light fixture. Hope this helps answer your question.

my light comes over the side wall and the cord goes down into the ground all the way to my outlet which is supported by a GFI circut. I personally would not use it the way you are asking the cord would be a hazard.

It is over our kitchen table and looks great...BUT...even with a dimmer switch attached we find it too glary. I've been trying to find some sort of shield or baffle to block the direct light but haven't had any luck online. All the ones I've found are for light bulbs that face up or down, while these are horizontal.

I also use the ones that came with it. They have almost no lateral dispersion. The fixture is in the centerof my kitchen, and I stiil need the under counter lights and one over the sink. But I don't care because thefixture is awesome.

The mounting options are numerous. The mounting bracket is a right angle, full length bracket with two key holes on each side of the bracket (4 holes total). The light also has two screw holes so it can be mounted directly. I mounted mine under the sink in cramped space, so I just screwed the bracket directly to my cabinet and snapped the light into the bracket. Worked great. It also comes with 3m two sided tape.
