Would this work using it under a cabinet fixture in the kitchen?

I would suspect it wouldn't work very well as one of the triggers is ambient light. If the room in general is bright and/or warm enough it wouldn't turn on. It's inexpensive enough to experiment though and you can always put it in your closet to find your shoes...

Hi William, this light is 4.5" in diameter and responds to motion and heat. I'm not the expert here but seems to me that placement of this light under the cabinet fixture in the kitchen might not be the best model of light get. If it's placed underneath the cabinet, I would think you'd have to do some hand or arm-waving to activate it but then it'll turn itself off once the movement stops. But then, you could adjust it to stay on constantly. If the light is placed on the wall that is beneath the cabinet, it'll definitely turn on when it senses movement/heat but if it's in so close proximity to your eyes, I think it's safe to say, you'd need a very DARK pair of SUNGLASSES to protect yourself from the intense glare from this automatic light. I guess the thought here, is having adequate height, distance and field of motion to consider this lighting for your under-a-cabinet fixture in the kitchen. It's a very good auto-light but may not be your best solution to lighting up your kitchen area. That's just a thought.

Yes, this should work for an indoor fixture. I've used it in a kitchen ceiling can, over a counter, and it's practically indistinguishable from the R20 halogen it replaced, except that it doesn't dim quite as low. Make sure it's the color you want -- this one is warm white, 2700K.

There is no reason that this would not work that I can see. That said I have seen fixtures meant for that duty and they are different. Be aware that these are the absolutely most flimsy fixtures that I have ever seen. They work fine, and I bought cheap and got it. My ceiling is not uniformly flat. The fixtures flexed such that they don't stay closed and I had to tape them shut. Really something else. But they work fine and were cheap.

Yes...we put it on a 12 ft ceiling in a 2nd bedroom. Gives off plenty of light & would work well in a kitchen

I think it would work. It's not as bright as the overhead light I have, but it lights the room pretty well.

Probably not great for under counter, because from the top to the center of the tv would be 20 inches at the minimum. Good from the ceiling though. If you are interested in under cabinet, I would buy a smaller one.

Yes- I believe they will work fine. I have installed mine in my kitchen under the cabinets but the LED lights are not as bright as I had hoped - they are acceptable , but for impressive lighting solutions I would go with electric if you can run the wiring. If not, then these are are a great solution and better than no lighting at all. I don't keep them on for very long - only when I need them. I installed the remote on the wall- it is wonderful. Overall the concept is fantastic - but the light emitted is thin. Hope this helps -- Good luck!

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

The answer to that is,no. The do not see anything that will attach for under cabinet. Sorry.

I asked my husband who put mine up and he said it should work under a cabinet with no problems

I don't see why it wouldn't. It may not be able to dim but it should work at full power. Just connect it normally.

This is meant to be mounted on a pole with your fixture attached to the top. I don't think that it would work.

No I wouldn't mount under a cabinet. It's more for on top of a counter or shelf.

If it fits into the lamp it will work. I used it on my cabinet lighting where there was plenty of room. I've installed similar items in my lamps with no issues but made sure they fit OK first.

I installed these in my kitchen for under cabinet lights and they are plenty bright. You should plan to run a strip the length of each shelf. They are available in different lengths. Leave a bit of room at each end to make the connection.

On the package it says: "Not suitable for totally enclosed fixtures". The keyword here is "totally". I won't get too worried about using it in my enclosed ceiling lights. As long as the fixture is not air-tight, it should be fine.

can this also be used as a under counter bread box? Mounted on your upper cabinet, underneath?
