Would this be suitable to hide under cabinet lighting in the kitchen? Does it stick out far enough that you would be able to see it?

Not enough information. I assume you want to hide the wiring, not the lighting. A lot depends on the cabinet color, wall color, and the side/front cabinet drop below the bottom shelf.

It depends on if you have molding underneath the cabinet. If so, then likely yes as these wiremolds are pretty thin.

Just held a small piece of it under my kitchen cabinet and could not see it.

Yes we used it for under cabinet lights and it worked perfect! We had a magnetic dimmer but either would work I am sure.

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. 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.

mr. o'shea, I really like this light fixture, but now that it is installed in a corner under a cabinet i can't see the back. I checked several web sites for better pictures of the unit, but it is only shown in the box or from the part that you would normally see. The next best option is to go to a home depot (that's where they sell them around here) or another store that carries the light and open the box to get the information that you are looking for hands on before making a buying decision.

No, but I did mount this over a medicine cabinet which is probably is 4 inches deep, It doesn't clear the medicine cabinet but is puts out enough light, and it looks great.

oh yes it can. I bought this to block neighbors from seeing inside a well lit kitchen. Day time it works perfectly, no seeing through this, however with a light on in the kitchen at night you can see shapes and movement. I would get this product for your purpose. And thanks for asking.Same piece has been up for over a year and it is still perfect.

to be honest I use it for my kitchen but you cannot see the clock but you can still see the light, and a dark room or in the bedroom the lights could be visible yes

This would be ideal! You wouldn't have to worry about screwing in, could use sticky pads & they would stay! I needed under cabinet lighting just not bright enough for that , you just gave me an idea!

My counter tops extend out 25" from the wall. I have my lighting strips staggered at 10" and 11 1/2" out from the wall - 3 strips per cabinet. They do provide light to the front of the counter, but of course it's not as bright as within 12" out from the wall. It would be enough light to cut vegetables, etc., but I also have can lights over the counters and an overhead light in the center of the room. I don't use just the undercabinet lights alone if I'm preparing a full meal but they are helpful for smaller jobs or as additional lights to brighten the counter workspace.

Due to its bulb, not sure it would work very well. When I initially purchased it, some said that it would only work in a very small area. I installed it in a kitchen and it not only looks fantastic, but is more than enough light.

It won't be as bright as normal lighting, and it's on the bluish side, but I've been able to light my studio apartment well enough to see everything. Plus, you can pop the top off, exposing the LEDs, and if you hang it by the bottom hook from the ceiling it will light things up pretty well.

I don't think it would give enough light for your purposes . Think of it as a good closet light or as a work lamp.

The light casing is 15/16 and is made to fit under the cabinet without being seen. You have to bend down to start to see the light. They are great lights - I wrote a review about them.

I don't think it is bright enough to be a kitchen light (esp as the only light- possibly with additional task lighting...) We have 3 in our upstairs hall- a nice soft light but may not provide enough light for kitchen tasks (only has one bulb under the frosted glass). Hope this helps!

no, there is no cover over light and it wouldn't last very long. It is a great light in the kitchen where you can point it towards anything you want, also put in hall and shine it down the stairs. I habe been using these with slide dimmers made for leds and they work great together.

I have one in my front door pendant light that hangs about 10' up with bottom of fixture blocked so light comes out the sides only. I personally would like it to be brighter out there, but it works.

You might have to cut it or wrap around sides. Depending on room it might put out too much light. You could always put a dimmer switch on it.
