LIGHT BULBS
- Fluorescent Light Bulbs Are Included: fluorescent T5 lamp(s) (5/8in in diameter) are included
- Cool White Lamps: color temperature of 4100K (cool white)
- Good Lamp Life: rated life is 5000 hours on average for the 8W lamp and 6000 hours on average for the 13W lamp (Lamp is easily replaced.)
(Caution: always be certain that the lamp is seated properly in both of its sockets. Be sure that both pins of each end are inside their respective socket and that the lamp is rotated 90 degrees once the pins are in the sockets. Failure to make good electrical contact between the pins and its socket may result in arcing and excessive heating of the socket.)
ELECTRICAL FEATURES
- Quiet Electronic Ballast: lightweight electronic ballast provides instant-on starting with no flickering and cool quiet operation (less heat, less weight, less noise, & lower wattage than a magnetic ballast)
- Energy Efficient: uses only 8, 21, or 26 watts of power/fixture respectively
- On/Off Rocker Switch: an on/off rocker switch is pre-installed
- Switching: when these fluorescent under cabinet task lights are linked together, an individual fixture may be adjusted by the on/off fixture switch without affecting the other fixtures. Additionally, if multiple fixtures are hardwired to power, then they may be controlled by a single wall switch as long as the rocker switch on each fixture is left in the “on” position.
- Convenience Outlet: a grounded convenience outlet has been pre-installed on each fixture [Note: If the wall switch is turned off, the fixture (ballast, lamp, and outlet) will NOT get power and, therefore, will not work. However, if the wall switch is left on and the fixture switch is turned off, then the outlet will continue to receive power and, therefore, work properly while the fluorescent light is off.]
- Not Dimmable: these fluorescent fixtures are not dimmable
INSTALLATION
- Easy to Install: please refer to these Installation Instructions (PDF). Always check local electrical codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC) before installing any lighting products. It is also wise to consult with a licensed electrician in your geographical area about any electrical details that you might have questions about and to make certain that you are satisfying all of the appropriate electrical codes.
- Easy to Wire: may be “hardwired” directly to power source using multiple 1/2in knockouts at the rear of the fixture, the "top" of the fixture, or the two ends of the fixture. Please see the Installation Instructions for details.
- Easy to Connect Multiple Fixtures Together: multiple fixtures can be "daisy-chained" together. One standard household ROMEX 14/2 wire between each fixture completes the parallel circuit. Wire can be 16 gauge or better with no custom cord required. Always check local codes and National Electrical Code (NEC) before installing.

Measurement Guide for Fluorescent T5 Thin-Inch Under Cabinet Lights w/Outlet
When determining how many Fluorescent T5 Thin-Inch Under Cabinet Lights w/Outlet and which size you will need for under cabinet lighting you first will have to measure the space where the fixtures will be attached. To do this you should not measure the face of the cabinets; you should measure the "cavity" under the cabinet where the fixture will actually be placed. We recommend that you "fill up" the cavity space with as many fixtures that can fit. For example, for a space that measures 27 inches we recommend that you use the fixture that measures 24.5in long, not the one that measures 21.25in. This will ensure the countertop below will be uniformly lit.

 By Russ from Oshkosh, WI on July 23, 2012 Hello, I need to confirm that a cord comes with this task light. Are they in stock? By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on July 24, 2012Answer:Russ, A power cord is NOT included with this under cabinet light. It can only be hardwired directly to power.
Here is a similar under cabinet light that has the option of plugging into power: http://www.pegasuslighting.com/t2-fluorescent-thin-under-cabinet-task-light.html.
This T2 fluorescent under cabinet light is one of our most popular.By Tom from Hampton, VA on March 14, 2013 I see that this is a UL listed fixture. Can you provide me with which UL code it listed under and do you have AutoCAD models for inserting into AutoCAD drawings? By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on March 14, 2013Answer:Tom,
I'm sorry, we do not have AutoCAD models.
The UL code is A-251,116By Ronnie from Henderson, NV on December 19, 2012 I have 5 under counter lights on a single switch and one is not working, but will purchase another, but need to know if they are okay to put on the same line. Which one of a 24 inch fluorescent lights for under the counter do you recommend? By Pegasus Lighting on December 20, 2012Answer:Ronnie,
The 24-inch version of this under cabinet light should be fine. It can be linked to the other lights via Romex.
Note that this under cabinet light emits cool white light (4100K). I would make sure that the color temperature matches the lights you have installed.By Tony from New York, NY on October 14, 2012 Can you attach 2 fixtures in series, i.e., 1 rockers lights both if the other rocker is already in the "on" position? Thank you. By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on October 15, 2012Answer:Tony,
These lights can be linked together in parallel. Each individual rocker switch will control an individual light fixture.By John Janssen from Joliet, IL on October 15, 2012Answer:I am not sure. We did not install our fixtures in series.By Mark from Benicia, California on October 15, 2012Answer:I do not know. I am not an electrician. I had the lights installed by an electrician to replace the old under counter lights so the wiring was already in place. I did try to see if it would work as you asked but it did not. That is not to say that an installation could not be made to achieve the results you are asking about.
PS I would advise having spare fluorescent lights on hand since the lights that come with the fixture don't have a long life.

Just what was needed
February 18, 2012
I needed to replace two twenty-five year old fixtures in my kitchen that had worn out. Rotating switches were shot, one ballast was gone and the other had a loud hum. Because the outlets available in the kitchen were limited, I valued the outlet built in to the old fixtures and did not want to lose them. These new fixtures were a somewhat smaller footprint under the cabinet than the ones replaced but actually do produce more light from the T5 bulbs than the old T12 bulbs did. The old fixtures were hard wired and these fixtures provided easy reconnection to the prewired receptacles. Installation was simple though the supplied screws were a bit too long for the cabinet shelf they secured to. I simply relocated one of the screws already in place to anchor the new lights. They work perfectly and I expect the toggle switch they employ will be more durable than the old rotating switch. I had looked about a year ago and had not been able to find a light that included an outlet so I was very pleased to find this fixture.
Pros:The overall design is clean, efficient and uncomplicated making installation simple and successful.
Cons:The retaining screws that attach the lamp housing to the frame are a bit too close to the housing making the task of threading the nut onto the screw difficult.

Not what I expected
February 4, 2013
There is no cord to plug this in. There is an outlet but no plug. What good is that? I want to be able to hook this to the cabinet and plug it into an outlet on a wall nearby, not buy a double mail plug. Total waste. Don't buy this.
Merchant Response:This reviewer is correct that this fixture does not come with a cord and plug. It is meant to be hardwired into power and this is stated within our Description tab in the Installation section. Once the fixture is hardwired to power the outlet on the fixture may be used.

Under Cabinet Light PUCEO-33
May 9, 2011
I replaced a unit I purchased from Pegasus, PUCE-33, because the lens had yellowed. The replacement unit, PUCEO-33 has a design change that makes it harder to install.The ballast is directly in front of the center electrical knockout. This is the knockout I had to use and running the electrical wires was a very tight fit. The ballast in the older unit was between the center and end knockouts.
Pros:Slim design and unit provides good quality of light.
Cons:Placement of ballast in front of the center electrical knockout caused a tight fit for electrical wires.

T5 Fluorescent Thin Inch Under cabinet lights with outlet
May 9, 2011
Once it was plugged in I was a little unhappy with the color of the light. I much prefer a soft warm light...hoping that I can easily replace the bulb.
Pros:This was purchased as you were the only one to have a receptacle. Every store I went to just had the light, but I have plenty of use for the plug in. My son is an electrician and he found this for me.
Cons:Just did not like the color of the fluorescent.

Perfect Undercabinet Lighting!
April 10, 2011
I ordered a set of these lights while in the process of putting in new counter tops, and glass tile back splash. So we wanted to move out outlets off the wall. These lights were the perfect solution. What a great product
