Measurement Guide for Xenon Line Voltage Thin Task Lights
When determining how many Xenon Line Voltage Hardwire Thin Under Cabinet Task Lights 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; instead, you should measure the "cavity" under each of the cabinets where the fixtures will actually be placed. We recommend that you "fill up" each of the cabinet cavities with the longest fixture that can fit. For example, for a space that measures 28 inches across we recommend that you use the under cabinet task light that has a fixture length of 22in, not the one that has a fixture length of 14in. This will ensure that the countertop and the backsplash below will be uniformly lit.

This new "thin" model is only 15/16in thick and 3.75in wide, which can easily hide under cabinets.
There are 3 options to get power to these xenon thin under cabinet task lights.
These fixtures can easily be linked by using a Linking Cable or the direct connectors found on the ends of each fixture.
DIMMERS
Q) Can I use a wall dimmer with the Xenon Line Voltage Task Lights?
A) Yes.
Q) What kind of dimmer switch should I use?
A) An ordinary incandescent (line voltage) wall dimmer can be used as long as the wattage rating of the dimmer exceeds the total wattage of all of the fixtures controlled by that dimmer.
Q) Where can I find dimmer switches that are designed to control line voltage light fixtures?
A) We offer compatible dimmers on our Accessories tab for this product.
HARDWIRING GUIDELINES
Q) How should the Xenon Line Voltage Hardwire Thin Task Lights be wired?
A) It is always wise to consult an electrician in your geographical area about any electrical details that you might have questions about and to make certain that you are fulfilling all of the appropriate electrical codes.
Q) What type of wire should be used to connect the lights to the household current?
A) You can use standard household ROMEX® wire, normally found at your local hardware store.
Q) Can I connect several fixtures together and control them with one switch
A) Absolutely. Simply connect the “first” xenon task light to household current using standard household ROMEX® wire, then connect the “second” to the “first” task light using a Linking Cable, then connect the “third” to the “second” task light using a second Linking Cable, etc.
A) Xenon gas has been introduced into the glass envelope of the bipin lamps.
Q) Why is xenon gas added into the glass envelope of the lamp?
A) It increases the rated life of the lamp. The addition of the xenon gas also creates a light source that has a color temperature that is higher (cooler looking) than an ordinary incandescent lamp but still lower (warmer looking) than a halogen lamp.
Q) What is the rated life of the xenon line voltage bipin lamps?
A) 6,000 hours on average.
Q) What does “rated life” mean?
A) The “rated life” of a lamp signifies the time at which 50% of a large quantity of these lamps will have burned out. That means that 50% of these lamps will burn out BEFORE the “rated life” and 50% will burn out AFTER the “rated life”. The “rated life” does NOT mean that every one of the lamps will last at least that long.
Q) Is this definition of “rated life” true for all lamps?
A) Yes, this is the standard rated life definition for the life of all types of lamps.
Q) What “kind of light” is given off by the xenon line voltage bipin lamps?
A) As mentioned earlier, xenon lamps have a color temperature that is between ordinary incandescent and halogen. That is, the light is cooler in appearance than incandescent but warmer in appearance than halogen.

We have two 60-watt units connected and one 40-watt unit, all controlled by one wall switch, of the thin under counter task lights, installed June, 2011. A couple of months ago the 40-watt started to flicker and appears to be getting worse. We haven't noticed any flickering of the other two units. What can we do to eliminate the problem of the flickering?
By Chris at Pegasus Lighting on July 26, 2012
Answer:
Penny:
Sorry to hear that your one of your fixtures is flickering. I have these exact same fixtures in my house. Love them! However, I have also had my fixtures flicker from time to time. When this has happened to me it has been a bad light bulb. To figure out which light bulb I need to replace I close the cabinet door above the particular fixture a little harder then normal. The vibration from the cabinet door closing shakes the fixture a little bit and I am able to pick out the particular light bulb that is flickering. I replace the particular light bulb and my fixture no longer flickers. I am not an electrician, but it seems that the light bulb starts to flicker when the filament in the light bulb is about to break.
I would try to replace the light bulb or light bulbs in the fixture first. If that does not work then the next step would be to check all of the electrical connections (preferably by a licensed electrician) to ensure there is not a loose connection anywhere.
By Frank from Milwaukee, WI on July 26, 2012
Answer:
Most likely there is a loose connection either at the termination where the feed wires are tied to the fixture leads, or somewhere in the internal wiring connected to the sockets.
By Nick Trainor from Raleigh, NC on July 26, 2012
Answer:
Are you using a dimmer switch? If so, please make sure it is the correct type - many dimmers are designed as follows:
Type 1: Standard for incandescent, halogen or xenon.
Type 2: Specifically designed for CCFL or LED lighting
Typically when a standard dimmer is used with CCFL or LED, you get "squealing" or flickering, and you can sometimes get it by using a CCFL dimmer if the load on the dimmer is not great enough.
Anyway, in your situation the first thing I would check is for an intermittent/non-secure wiring connection between the 60W lights and the 40W lights.
By Robert from Blaine, WA on July 26, 2012
Answer:
Since the other two lights are working properly, the flickering of the third one suggests that your problem is probably caused by a corrosion of the power supply line to the unit and or insufficient contact.
By Ralph from Red Bank NJ on March 3, 2013
A couple of questions about these fixtures:
#1: We presently have one older 2-bulb xenon unit with 10w bulbs, which gives adequate light but the unit feels very warm, even when it's been on the "low" setting. I am wondering if your 2x20watt bulb fixtures would present a hazardous heat problem under the wooden cabinets. Could we use 10 watt bulbs if necessary?
#2: We will need to string 2-3 units together and use a single power cord that plugs into a wall outlet. Is there an inline on/off switch (with dimmer) available for the power cord that we can use to control all units?
By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on March 4, 2013
Answer:
Ralph, here's the answers to your questions.
1. These are our most popular under cabinet lights. Although they do give off heat because they are an incandescent source, it is not hazardous. You certainly can use a lower wattage light bulb if you are uncomfortable with the heat.
2. There is not a compatible in-line switch with dimmer for these light fixtures.
By Leslie Desnick from Minnesota on August 7, 2012
I am interested in purchasing these lights for a new kitchen and have read that the lights throw a lot of heat.
I need fixtures for 36" cabinets.
Question #1. Could one use 10 watt bulbs instead of 20?
#2. What about using the 22" fixture for the 36" cabinet. Will the light pattern be OK?
By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on August 8, 2012
Answer:
Leslie,
These xenon under cabinet lights are one of our most popular products and many have no issues with heat.
With that in mind, xenon under cabinet lights are going to emit more heat than a fluorescent or LED fixture.
To answer your questions:
1. Yes, you could use a 10W lamp instead. You will be sacrificing the amount of light emitted by the fixture.
2. We strongly recommend filling the under cabinet space as much as possible for the best light pattern. In your example, you'll have dark spots and spots of light if you use that small of a fixture. Your best bet is to use the largest fixture possible to fill the space.
Hope this helps!
By David from Louisville, KY on August 8, 2012
Answer:
In my experience, the xenon lights do generate a fair amount of heat, but nothing like the halogen bulbs we used to employ for these types of lights. Working at the counter with xenon bulbs above, you won't notice the heat, nor does the interior of the cabinet above the lamp get hot. If you put your hand directly under the lamp, you will certainly be able to feel the heat generated, and if you try to touch the bulb you're in for burned fingers.
Most of these types of fixtures have a bright/dim feature and for several years I ran xenon under-cabinet lights with 10-watt bulbs in the dimmer setting in my kitchen and it was plenty of light to augment the general room lighting. I recently replaced some bulbs and decided to try 20-watt instead, and really, it's too bright.
A 22-inch fixture for a 36-inch cabinet should work just fine for kitchen task lighting.
By Zbigniew from Chicago, IL on August 8, 2012
Answer:
The xenon lights do put off heat, but only about 1/2 as much as halogen bulbs do. The heat is felt not under the lights, but inside of the cabinet. It probably raises the temperature on the bottom shelf inside of the cabinet 4-5 degrees F.
The fixtures have a high/off/low toggle switch, so you can use the lower setting. The lights are also dimmable, so you can install them on a dimmer switch. We have never tried to use a 10W bulb.
We are a general contracting firm that does a lot of kitchen remodeling. We generally use the largest light that will fit under the cabinet. The whole idea is to give even light across the counter. Using a smaller light might leave you with a dark spot. The light quality is great and our customers really like the result.
By Rick from Houston, TX on August 8, 2012
Answer:
The lights do put a lot of heat out. I am not sure about the different wattage usage, I would think that would work. I have also found that the 22" fixture would work just fine instead of the 36" cabinet fixture called for because the lights do put out plenty of light. Under one of my cabinets I went with a shorter one than required and it works fine. Have been very pleased with the lights, they are higher quality and look very good.
By John from Maine on August 8, 2012
Answer:
To be frank, I wish I had known how much heat these generate before purchasing - it might have had an impact on the purchasing decision. You can use lower-wattage bulbs and that might have a discernible impact, or you can do what I did and put them on a dimmer, which lets you regulate heat as you regulate the light. I do not leave these on full blast for more than an hour -- too hot. As to light pattern, you should be fine. I would suggest that you power up the lights before attaching them to the cabinet and move them around to see what kind of pattern they throw -- I don't think you'll find that the side-to-side lighting is an issue (particularly if you have multiple lights side by side), but too far forward and you'll cast a shadow on the wall from where the light gets cut out by the housing.
By Michael from MA on August 8, 2012
Answer:
I would not use the lower watt bulb as it would have a negative effect on your lighting. The fixture does have a switch to change the light level. The fixture is U.L. listed. I have used these fixtures in several condo units and had no complaints. I also use the 22 inch fixtures under (2) 36 inch cabinets mounted next to each other and the lighting is sufficient.
By John W from Naperville, IL on August 8, 2012
Answer:
I don't know the answer to using 10 watt bulbs, but I suspect that the lighting would be similar to the lighting on the low setting (when on high) and even dimmer when on low. This would be great for mood lighting, but not acceptable for task lighting. We put these fixtures under all our counters and love them. Yes they get hot if you touch a fixture that is on, but the heat is not really noticeable unless you put your hand near them. We have 5 22", 2 14" and 1 36" fixtures and even with all running, heat is no problem.
As for the light pattern, the 22 inch fixtures put out a lot of light and should be fine under a 36 inch cabinet. I actually like their light output the best. For some reason the 22" seem brighter than the 32" one next to it.
By Julia Pearson from Baltimore, MD on August 8, 2012
Answer:
They do throw some heat, but I have mine wired to a dimmer and it really helps. I wouldn't suggest going with the 22" for a 36" cabinet, especially along a run of them. I would hook them all together on each long wall to fill the space. You can cheat a little in the corners, though, so it doesn't get too bright. Good luck with your new kitchen - I absolutely love the quality of these lights in mine.
By DJBain from MA on August 8, 2012
Answer:
It depends what you want the light for. If it is the only source, you will need more power. We purchased them to throw some extra light on the counters. We bought 12 inch fixtures and I was surprised with the amount of light produced. They do run hot, so they need air around them. They have a dimmer setting and a full power setting. We are quite satisfied . Good luck.
By Mark from Eden Prairie, MN on August 8, 2012
Answer:
I am a remodeling contractor and use xenon lights for all my undercabinet lighting (and will continue using it until the color of LEDs is better). The xenon are much cooler than halogen bulbs with very similar clean light. The "lot of heat" comment is probably compared to LED, which is true. But for under cabinet lights xenon is fine. I would also get the 32" xenon fixture with 20 watt bulbs, and put it on a dimmer, be sure the toggle switch on the light is left on high. Now you are in control rather than settling for a poorly lit area. You can have them full blast for cooking and a soft glow for some atmosphere. Also mount your lights towards the front of the cabinet rather than at the wall. The light distribution will be more uniformly diffused over the countertop and you won't have hotspots on the wall. The bottom line is don't chintz out on lighting. I just installed these slim lights on my last two jobs and they went in without a hitch. Good luck!
By Patrick from Phoenix on August 8, 2012
Answer:
They are not as hot as a halogen. More of a cross between that and a flourescent. The light does not reflect/bounce like halogens tend to do. I would use the widest one that will fit under your cabinet and stick with the recommended wattage that comes with them. Since they have a high/low switch, you can control the level fairly well or add a dimmer. This is the most popular light I use on kitchen remodels. The only thing I would not recommend is any express shipping because 3 day ship is actually 5 and ordering standard delivery gets them to you at the same time.
By Eric from Tampa, FL on August 9, 2012
Answer:
I have purchased these for several of our projects. Even if you could (which I don't think you can), I would not change out the bulbs for smaller ones. The lights have a high setting, and a low setting. Most clients always keep them on the high setting. For a 36" cabinet I would definitely use the 32" light. A 22" will not provide adequate coverage.
By Gary from Minnesota on August 10, 2012
Answer:
1. These lights come with a high-low-off switch, so you can install them and then choose how much light you get. An alternative is to wire them to dimmer switch - this is what I did. You'll be happy with them.
2. A 22 inch light is good for a 36 inch cabinet - light pattern will be good.
By Bill from SC on August 14, 2012
Answer:
1. The lights do not throw a lot of heat, because there is a high/low switch for control on the 22-inch fixture. Ten-watt bulbs might not provide enough light. I would recommend two 20-watt bulbs per fixture, and use the low switch control.
2. The 22-inch fixture is sufficient for 36-inch cabinets. I have a 30-inch cabinet, and I installed a 22-inch fixture with three 20-watt bulbs. Even on the low setting, there is more than enough light. I placed the fixture above our double sink, and my wife is very happy with it.
By Nick from Wake Forest, NC on August 16, 2012
Answer:
You are correct, they throw off heat, but this is not a big issue for the following reasons:
1. The cabinets are warm to the touch (not HOT) even if the lamps are full on and this is no issue for dishes etc - it might be an issue if you choose to store perishables directly above the lights like butter or chocolate that might soften.
2. I installed a dimmer, so for accent lighting the dimmer keeps the residual heat of the lamps at a minimum - then if you need to work while using the lights it is usually not an issue for the cabinets, and I have sizes that have 1, 2, 3, and 4 20W bulbs
To answer your questions;
1. I have never seen 10W xenons - if you can find them fine, but I think there are 20W in there as the lamp is designed to provide an adequate amount of light to work for a given amount of space.
2. The light pattern will be OK if you center it, but you may not be happy with the edges - I installed a 32" under a 39" cabinet and it is fine - no problem generating enough light to light the counter and cover all of the cabinet underside.
My personal opinion is that these lamps are expensive, but give off a nice (accurate color temp) light, and an acceptable amount of heat...quite frankly LED lighting is a rip off, and way overpriced for the technology.
By Lisa from amarkiz@yahoo.com on December 5, 2012
I have some under cabinet areas to light and wanted to use a 14 inch in some places and 10 inches in others. I am concerned that the difference between the 40W for 14 inch and 20W for 10 inch will give off too varying light. Should I stick with the 10 inches?
By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on December 5, 2012
Answer:
Lisa,
You should not have a problem with varying light. The fixtures are designed to provide similar light even when mixing and matching sizes - which is very common for under cabinet installations.
By Michael from Illinois on December 5, 2012
Answer:
Here is what I think: The bulbs themselves are the same wattage for both lengths. The 14" has 2 whereas the 10" has just 1. So you won't have one bulb glowing brighter, you'll have 2 bulbs glowing with the same intensity. Sure, more light, but presumably it is a bigger space since you're opting for a longer fixture, so the additional light is warranted. Cheers!
By Paul from Waynesville, NC on December 5, 2012
Answer:
It should make no difference. All the individual light bulbs are the same wattage and give off the same light. The difference between the 10 and 14 inch fixtures is the number of bulbs that they have.
By Tom from Pittsburgh, PA on December 5, 2012
Answer:
All 20 watt xenon lamps will put out the same quantity of light (lumens). The decision of whether to get a single lamp or two lamp should be based on the area you have to install the luminaire under the cabinet. Also, the under cabinet light has a two level switch for full or half light. Bottom line - if you use a two lamp luminaire in one location and a single lamp luminaire in another location the uniformity of light on the counter will be the same in both locations.
By Mike from New Hope, PA on December 5, 2012
Answer:
I recently purchased and installed the 14 inch and 22 inch Xenon lights and the difference in wattage is just the number of bulbs. The 10 inch has one 20W bulb, the 14 inch has two 20W bulbs and the 22 inch has three 20W bulbs. So you don't really get varying light, it just depends on the spacing. The watts for each bulb are actually the same. I've had the lights for about four months and love them. I put them on a dimmer switch so they provide plenty of light when working around the counter, but also great accent lighting when I lower the switch.
By Terry from St. Louis, MO on December 5, 2012
Answer:
Hi Lisa,
I used a combination of 10", 14" and 22" fixtures for my under cabinet fixtures in my kitchen remodel. Pegasus suggests that you use the widest fixture that will fit in the under cabinet opening, and, for the most part, that's a good starting point in your design. I elected to layout (with bits of masking tape) where each bulb would actually be located in the various width scenarios and visualizing the resulting pattern. I selected the fixture size based on that layout. There are often several factors that can impact your decision on your fixture layout. The fixtures wide angle of coverage helps make up for most smaller gaps between fixtures. Remember that you will see the "footprint" of each bulb on the counter top/back splash and that they are all EQUAL (20W). My project turned out super, with the glow of the bulbs washing the back splash in a smooth, even manner. The combinations of these Xenon fixtures proved to provide me with the latitude I needed to nicely balance the coverage. (When measuring cabinet recess width, don't forget to calculate for the fixture end connectors!)

I have purchased a combination of one 10" and seven 22" Xenon under cabinet lights for my kitchen renovation. I purchased the different length lights because my under cabinet configuration divided the area and I used the two sizes to fit the entire length of the cabinets. They look fantastic! There is no difference in the light produced by the 10" vs the 22" lights. They look fantastic! The low setting is uniform as well as the hi setting!
By Dwain May from Birmingham, MI on December 5, 2012
Answer:
Depending on how your cabinet layout is i.e. Cabinet on the left then a window and 3 cabinets on the right. The wattage does not affect the amount of light in one area but it does affect the light in a linear run. I use the combination sizes all the time and have not had any problems with over lighting. We also install them on a separate dimmer so we can control the amount of lighting better then just the hi lo switch that comes with the unit.
By Jeffery A. from Cleveland, OH on December 5, 2012
Answer:
If you look at the spec sheet for the lights, you will see that he 10 inch light has (1) 20W bulb whereas the 14 inch light has (2) 20W bulbs. Although each bulb has the same wattage rating, I would say that there may be a little difference in the illumination between the two lights, however, I don't think that it would warrant using the same size light for both areas. In my opinion, I would use the 10 inch and the 14 inch like you want to do.
By Nick from Wake Forest, NC on December 5, 2012
Answer:
The individual bulbs are the same wattage and spaced at equal intervals - so choose the length of light for your under cabinet install (usually a few inches shorter than the cabinet) and you will have uniform lighting across your counter space - don't skimp on light length to save money - remember it is 10 ( or 20 - cant remember which) watts per unit length. I recommend a wall dimmer for all of them so you can set the desired light level.
By Patrick from Phoenix on December 5, 2012
Answer:
The wattage of lighting is dependent upon how many bulbs are in a fixture. The light is no more intense in one than another.
By Eddie from Springfield, VA on December 5, 2012
Answer:
Basically the wattage is a direct function of the quantity of bulbs installed on each fixture. Each bulb is 20 watts so the wattage is increased in 20 watt increments. The intensity of the lighting is the same for each fixture but the spread across the area is different. A good design would be to match the counter space area with a proportionate length of light. Keeping the ratio of length of fixture vs the length of counter area similar. Hope this helps. These are great fixtures!! Very versatile installation options.

I plan to hardwire these fixtures under our cabinets. Is the male connector on the end of the fixture included in the length? If not, how much extra length does it add to the fixture? It looks like the smallest fixture is 10" long and the cavity under my cabinet is 10.5" long. Will it fit?
By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on August 27, 2012
Answer:
Mary, take a look at the Hardwire Lengths table in the description tab for this product for complete length information.
For the 10-inch fixture, the length including the male connector is 10.5in.

By Mike from Galena, Oh on August 27, 2012

By Mike from Highland, CA on August 27, 2012
Answer:
I just hardwired a 10" fixture. I measured its total length and it is 10 1/4 inches so it should fit fine under your cabinet. Good luck, I love my lights. FYI, I also hardwired a dimmer and it works great.
By Pasqual from Goshen, NY on August 28, 2012
Answer:
Hi,
I just had several of the longer versions of these installed. The male connector sticks out just about half an inch, so you should be okay as long as there is nothing keeping you from placing the female connector side right up against the other side of your cabinet. If the fixture is just a bit longer, you could always sand down or notch out the inside surfaces on each side of your cabinet to allow it to fit unrestricted.
By Jim from Winston Salem, NC on August 29, 2012
Answer:
The male connector protrudes 1/2'' and there is a 1/16" protrusion of a female cover on the other side. The female cover could most likely be removed to make it fit.
By Ryan Blomquist from Minneasota on September 10, 2012
I find it hard to believe no one has ask about linking these lights! That is the biggest problem with these. These seem nice, but without the ability to custom size your link cable how do you link these together without a foot or more waste in between? What are you suppose to do with that much waste? What a sloppy looking install! Why don't they offer the option to Romex them together?!
By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on September 11, 2012
Answer:
Ryan,
These lights can be linked using Romex wire.
There are 3 ways to link these under cabinet lights.
1. End-to-end using the preattached connectors
2. Linking cables
3. Romex wire

I want to replace an old under cabinet light in a bar area because it hums. May I assume
yours do not hum?
By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on April 8, 2013
Answer:
This is our most popular under cabinet light and we do not receive complaints about humming. One reason is that it does not have a transformer, which can often be the source of humming.
By Chad from Barnesville, MN on October 4, 2012
I am starting a bar project in a finished room and am wondering if you know how far the distance of the knockouts are from the ends on both the 32 inch and the 14 inch. I need to start this project before my order arrives and want to minimize wall damage. I know the tech sheet says every 4 inches but I would like the distance from the ends if possible.
By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on October 4, 2012
Answer:
Chad,
The knockouts are 3-1/8in from the ends of the fixtures.
They are spaced every 4in, as you mention.
Good luck with your project and I hope this helps!
By Mike from NJ on October 4, 2012
Answer:
I just installed the lights last weekend and do not know exactly how far the knockouts are from the end but I believe there are knockouts directly in the middle of the lights so you can maybe estimate off of the center or drill the hole based off the center. Also, assuming you are mounting them under the cabinets you are supposed to mount them towards the front so where the line exits the wall is not that big of a deal if they are right inline with the knockouts.
By Ryan from Fairfield, CT on October 4, 2012
Answer:
The knockouts are located 4" from the end on the 32" lights and 3 1/8" in from the end on the 14" lights. Those are the measurements from the end panel. Keep in mind one side (the right side when viewing the lens in the front) has a male adapter plug that adds an additional 1/2".
By Leslie from Minnesota on October 4, 2012
Answer:
I recently purchased some 22" Xenon but have not used the 32" or 14". I do recall that the knockout on the 22" were about 4" from the end. Just don't quote me on this.
By Nick from Wake Forest, NC on October 4, 2012
Answer:
Pretty sure they are about 3-4 in from the end then approximately 4 in apart. It's a real pain to pop the knockouts out of there on some (seems like the stamping machine didn't cut deep enough, but on others I noticed it was better - either machine variance or different lots). I'll check the exact measurement from the end tonight when I look at the light and get back to you.
By Thomas from Fishkill, NY on October 4, 2012
Answer:
The knocks outs on the 14 inch lights are 3 inches from the end; they are 4 inches from the end on the 32 inch lights.
By Piotr from Chicago, Illinois on October 4, 2012

It is 3-1/8'' from the ends to the center of the knockout. (14 inch and 22 inch lamps)
By Greg Everett from Port Orchard Washington on October 4, 2012
Answer:
In response to your email. The 32 inch light has a total of 7 knockouts that start 4 inches from each end on the back.side. The 14 inch light has a total of 3 knockouts that start 3 inches from each end on the back side.
By Bob from Tucson, AZ on October 5, 2012

By Tom from Boston on October 6, 2012
Answer:
They are about 4 inches from the ends and then there is a knockout about every 5 inches.
By JM from Cleveland, OH on October 6, 2012
Answer:
We used five of these undercabinet lights for our kitchen remodel. Included in these five lights, we used a 32" and a 14" light. The support Tech was correct. For the 32" undercabinet light, there are knockouts every 4" from both ends (along the entire length of the light). For the 14" undercabinet light, the knockouts are every 3" from both ends. It gave us maximum flexibility when installing them. These lights are perfect for our kitchen. We installed a black granite counter-top, so we selected the dark bronze finish so we would not get a white reflection on the counter-tops from the light. You may want to consider what is going to be below the light when picking out which color light you would like. The slim lights do not show below our undercabinets. This is a great product. Good luck.
By Mike Erving from Manasquan NJ on October 6, 2012
Answer:
On the 14 inch fixture - 3.25 on right side, 3.50 on left side with light facing the wall. I don't have a 32 inch fixture but I think it is the same.
By Jim from Bartlett, IL on October 8, 2012
Answer:
4" in from each end is right. Remember that there are more knockouts the longer the unit is.

Is there an option for a clear glass lens, rather than a diffusing lens? if you cannot provide, can the lens be swapped out in the field?
By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on January 21, 2013
Answer:
Sebastian,
I'm sorry - we do not offer a clear lens option.
However, the frosted lens can be removed and replaced in the field.
There are tabs securing the lens that can be bent to remove the glass. Once you drop the new lens in, simply bend the tabs back to secure the clear lens.
By KOLZ from Rochester, MI on January 21, 2013
Answer:
The glass is held at each corner by a small metal tab. With care, these can probably be bent to allow you to replace the diffuser glass. The diffuser glass is excellent quality and does its job well. Replacing it with clear glass may result in a harsher light and transmit more heat downward to anything below the light.
By Terry from St. Louis, MO on January 21, 2013
Answer:
Sebastian, I have ten of these fixtures under my kitchen cabinets and love them. I have never seen an option for clear lenses while researching Xenon Line Voltage Under Cabinet Task Lights. I'm not sure why anyone would want that unless you are doing very precise detail work under these lights. I have simply flipped the glass lens into the downward position a couple of times to give me added brightness for a specific task. Xenon bulbs are somewhat harsh without the diffuser and the diffuser distributes the lighting much better than without the diffuser or, I would assume, with clear glass lenses. If you had custom clear glass lenses made locally, it does appear to me that you could replace the diffusing lens with clear glass. Hope that helps you.
By Jessica from Little Rock, Arkansas on January 21, 2013
Answer:
I am not sure if the clear glass is available for purchase; the lens cover is easily removed, it has a strong magnetic connection, that secures the lens cover to the light. The diffusing lens cover may assist in heat diffusion, produced by the light.
By Susan from Daytona Beach Shores, Florida on October 14, 2012
Can these fixtures also be installed above kitchen cabinets? I have a 12" deep and a 12" high space above my cabinets that I want to light with a soft, indirect lighting, on a dimmer. I would want to lay these flat on the tops of the cabinets, but don't want to worry about any hot ceiling spots from the lights. Would I have to worry about the ceiling with this type of fixture or would you recommend a different product?
By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on October 15, 2012
Answer:
Susan,
Yes, these can be used for over cabinet lighting. I am not concerned about "hot ceiling spots" with these fixtures.

By Craig C from Praha Texas on January 26, 2013
Answer:

I have the under and over lights on separate wall dimmers and can use the top ones as mood or a night light effect.
We're getting all new cabinets this year and we will be refitting with Pegasus.
By Matt from PA on February 12, 2013
Hi - I want to install 4 lights on one dimmer, and I want to run the Romex wire through the walls (hardwire). The lights are over 10 ft. apart since they are under each cabinet. However, I see the linking cables come in 12 - 36" lengths. Can I just connect them all with the Romex wire instead of the "connecting wires".
Thanks.
By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on February 13, 2013

Yes, you can connect the fixtures using household wire.

Elegant Lighting
October 29, 2012
I purchased 10 of these lights (various sizes from 10 inches to 32 inches) to mount under my cabinets and I tied them to a high end dimmer. I did quite a bit of research on under cabinet lighting and decided to go with Xenon. Reading many of the reviews; they were accurate about some of the issues, but I found easy ways around them. I do recommend using romex cable to string the lights for a couple of reasons. First, I happened to take down my backsplash to replace and had the opportunity to run the wire behind the walls (the best way to go). Second, using romex over the link allows you to cut the right length. The lights do not give you a lot of room for extra wire inside the housing. You would have to find a way to hide the excess cable if used the link. One reviewer had a problem with the knock outs. If you use a Philips head screw driver and target one of the connecting points you will have no problem knocking it free and then using some long nose pliers to pry off. If you place the screw driver in the center, the force from hitting with the hammer is distributed across the entire knock out instead of a weak point. I also saw a reviewer complain about the size given of the light not accounting for the connector. Make sure you take this into account. I had a couple of cabinets where I just ended up using a cutting tool to take out an inside notch to accommodate the end connector and the lights fitted fine. The 10-inch light only came with one knock out so I had to drill another hole to create two. The last two comments I saw were about the xenon bulb not fitting and the cheap mounting screws. Both comments were accurate for me. You must drill a hole and ensure your screw driver head is an exact match for the screws (or you can replace with better screws). I did have three lights where the bulb wouldn't go in easy. I ended up gently bending until they fitted. OK, enough of the technical talk. Let's talk about my neighbor and friends jaws dropping when they saw them. These lights hide out of sight (and dimming them at night while having gatherings is extremely impressive). I must also mention the customer service from Pegasus Lighting. This company is tops. I had a couple of questions and got them answered by their vice president Chris. Now that's customer service!!! I will always use Pegasus Lighting for all of my lighting needs (now I'm in the market for outdoor motion sensor lighting).
Pros:
Very sleek and elegant.
Cons:
Cheap mounting screws.

Impressive
August 7, 2012
These fixtures really are quite amazing for the price. I have installed a number of much more expensive Kichler under cabinets in the past and these were every bit as good, if not better. Installation with the quick-connectors is easy, although I did have the problem mentioned elsewhere of the knockouts being hard to knock out (I eventually succeeded by hitting it hard enough, but it's hard to whack your new fixture that hard!). Highly recommended.
Pros:
appearance
easy of installation

Excellent light and price
March 20, 2012
I shopped everywhere for undercabinet lights and these are the only ones I wanted! They are thin and offer enough light, along with high/off/low options. We use the low option when just using as dim lights and it's great that when more light is needed when working on the countertop, we can switch it to the high setting. This review is for the 10 inch one, but we bought several including two 14 inch and a 32 inch light. All in all, excellent product and price. The only thing that wasn't the best is the connector that connects the romex to the light fixture. It is cheap and good thing I brought extras as some broke. I still used them, but you cannot twist too tightly when using these. If you are using an electrician to connect them, have them provide better connectors....I still rate it a 5 because they are great. Don't go crazy adding lights to the entire undercabinet area....as an example, I added a 32 inch strip in a 52 inch cavity; a 10 inch strip in a 18 inch cavity; and a 14 inch strip in a 22 inch cavity....and they light enough. We use ours for just mood lighting so anymore lighting would be overkill.
Pros:
Price is great
Thin
Bright
Cons:
Electrical connector is cheap

Awesome under counter lighting

I chose these lights after a friend told me how great they looked and how the low profile case did not extend below the cabinet frame. After they were installed, I became a believer!!! I only wish I had more cabinets to place these lights under!!! Maybe the next set will be installed in my garage workshop. :)
Pros:
The low profile makes them almost invisible

These lights were the perfect choice for us, and because they are line voltage, we were able to use conventional dimmers instead of the more expensive electronic dimmer. I felt that the price was very fair, and the service was great.

The lights are very low profile. I love the switch that allows for the lights to be on High, Low, or Off. The electrician said they were the easiest lights to install. I had him hardwire all the lights in. Some of the other comments refer to how the linking cable takes up additional space which won't work if the light just barely fits. The electrician cut off the plug and hard-wired the linking cable to the next light over. Worked great!

Very Nice Lights
February 25, 2013
These Xenon lights were exactly what I expected - a good light for a fair price. While they were relatively easy to install and provide great light, there are some shortcomings. The knockouts are difficult to remove and require quite a bit of effort to punch them out, literally. I found a short set of needle nose pliers did the job well. Don't use a long screw driver or you can damage the reflector or wiring inside the unit. Within a few minutes the first light bulb went out, so get some spares. Overall I'm quite pleased with the lights; low profile, good lighting, relatively well constructed, easy to mount and easy to wire up.
Pros:
Good price, Good Lighting, Low Profile, Easy to Assemble
Cons:
Knockouts are a chore to remove and could end up damaging the unit if you're not careful.

Can't put a price on the difference these lights make.
February 10, 2013
These seem to be very nice, well made light fixtures. I looked at several in the home centers, but could not find anything close to these in quality and wiring adaptability. I hard wired mine with 14-2 and it made for a very neat, clean job with no excess wiring anywhere. I put a dimmer on the circuit, but probably would not have needed to because the high/low switch on the fixture does a good job. I just liked having one switch to control all three lights. The warm light that these put out is just priceless. It is a hundred time better than fluorescent or led. I did read the reviews about the wiring knockouts, so I just went ahead and drilled them out first and then they came out much better. I suppose one reason they are hard to get out is because the metal is not flimsy at all. I was surprised how sturdy the fixtures are.
Pros:
Several knockouts in each fixture to better align wiring.
Hi/low switch
Warm light
Very nice construction (just read the instructions on how to remove the glass bulb door.)
Magnetic closure
Cons:
Knockouts are hard to get out and that is really the only thing remotely bad about these lights.

Halogen Replacement
February 7, 2013
Really well constructed and relatively easy to install. Seem to be a much safer option than the cheap halogen hockey pucks I had installed several years ago. The lighting is very even and hooked to a dimmer. We keep them on in the evening now for kitchen indirect lighting. For those making the shift from halogen, like me, these still get hot, but the light color is much more compatible with my ceiling recessed than LED would have been...and they are dimmable.
Pros:
Well built.
Ease of installation.
Cooler than halogen.
Much safer and more stable design than hockey pucks.
Cons:
Still seem pretty hot to the touch.
Ended up hard wiring most units together due to limitations in length of connectors.

Nice looking but a huge hassle to assemble.
December 17, 2012
I bought 2 of these xenon under cabinet lighting lights 24 inches long. It was a huge hassle because the glass cover kept bending which made it a pain to take off. After finally getting these up I realized I did not get a male/female cord to hook them up together. The website is not very helpful, I was never asked if I needed a cord even when I bought multiple lighting systems. It would have been nice to suggest what is needed and even what cord to buy because my idiot self bought the wrong cord AND PAID MORE SHIPPING COSTS TO GET IT HERE. All in all, the Pegasus Lighting website is not very helpful. The lighting system is somewhat cheap and difficult to maneuver/ assemble. The pro is the lighting system is nice looking and it gives off great light. DEAR PEGASUS LIGHTING, PLEASE HELP YOUR CUSTOMERS BETTER. SUGGEST TO THEM THEY SHOULD BUY THE CORRECT ACCESSORIES THAT WILL BE NEEDED TO ASSEMBLE THE LIGHTING SYSTEMS. THANKS .

Well made undercabinet light
November 25, 2012
This is a well made low profile undercabinet light. I hard wired mine and used the junction box which has to be ordered separately along with the connecting cables. The cables come in different lengths. My only complaint is with the terminals on both the junction box and the cable. The terminals don't line up well making it difficult to attach the connectors. You may have to take a small nail to gently realign the connectors prior to attaching them.
Pros:
Integral Lo-Off-Hi switch

This is a nice product. It arrived very quickly.

The shelves above do not get warm. Baffles in the cabinets keep things cool. We had one little problem that was solved quickly. One of the xenon bulbs was crushed in shipment but was replaced by mail quickly. The 3/8" strain reliefs were included (otherwise they are hard to find).

November 14, 2012
I purchased a number of these 10", 14" and 22" lights for under cabinet lighting as part of my kitchen remodel. Pegasus provided me with regular email updates on the order status and the items arrived quickly. There was no shipping damage and my order was complete. Installation was basically straight forward. However, the "keyholes" for mounting screws as mentioned in the instructions were no longer part of the product design. "Captivating" mounting screws had replaced the keyhole mounting. This delayed me just a bit. The screws were poorly made. Instead of puncturing the bottom of the cabinet when installing, the captivated screws tended to push against the cabinet bottom (in spite of the pilot holes I drilled) and simply moved the fixture away from the wood. This was frustrating as I was working alone and could not hold the fixture and exert enough pressure on the power screwdriver. The soft screw heads eventually "cammed out" from the stress. In the end, I used my own self-tapping screws to mount the lights. The "knock-out" fixture openings for the wiring were not at all cooperative. I had dislodged knockout plugs in many electrical fixtures in the past and thought I knew what to expect. Unlike the knockouts on most electrical fixtures, these puppies had a mind of their own and just did not want to come out. I finally found a "sweet spot" in the knockout recess and used a hammer and a nail punch to loosen the plugs.
One 10" unit had a defective lens door and the great staff at Pegasus Customer Service handled the return arrangements very professionally.
The lighting is far improved from my original halogen models. The Xenon lamps provide a less-glaring and much warmer light. I had plans to install a dimmer on the circuit but the high-low position switches on the fixtures have made that unnecessary. All in all, a great value for the money.
Pros:
VERY low profile
Cooler burning Xenon lamps
Warmer light colors than halogen
Convenient daisy-chain extension cables
Magnetic lens covers
Long life bulbs
Strong metal housing
Fair pricing
Cons:
Soft, dull "captive" mounting screws
Wrestling with the knock-out plugs

Xenon Line Voltage Thin Under Cabinet Light
November 13, 2012
This is a beautiful lighting fixture that fit beautifully under the cabinets and lights the glass tile back splash behind our kitchen sink to perfection! It's slender profile is perfect and the 2 choices of lighting are wonderful. High is great for when one is actually working at the sink and the low lighting is great as a night light or just for ambiance. The only thing that needs improvement is the punch outs required for hard wiring are very difficult to remove. I knew about this in advance as many other reviewers mentioned it as an issue & they were right! You really have to hit them hard to remove them.

Nice warm light and easy to install (though the instructions were wrong about the screws). I really like the hi/lo switch. Xenon is hotter than LED and it did make chocolate in my cabinet soft (not melted), but moving the candy to an upper shelf solved that.

I was pleased overall with the product. Removing the diffuser was difficult at times to access knock-out and wiring. It was also hard knowing if the lenses were indeed re-installed properly. I had covered the counter tops with towels, so when the ones that weren't began falling; they had something soft to land on.

Works as advertised!
August 22, 2012
I found Pegasus Lighting's website when my electrician told me that I couldn't purchase dimmable xenon under cabinet lights. He doesn't know me very well! Within a few seconds I showed him my Google search that brought me to the Pegasus website and even then he told me that they probably were cheap and not going to work.
I persisted and purchased several of these lighting units and had him install them in a hardwired configuration with a standard dimmer switch. Guess what? They work as advertised with no issues! A good under cabinet light that does what it is supposed to with no issues.
I'm a very satisfied customer and my cabinet installer tells me that he wants the website address because he's had many clients over the years who thought they could not have dimmable xenon lights! I educated an expert!
Pros:
Low profile
Easy to install
Dimmable

Love these! Easy to install and they add a wonderful look to the "farm house" kitchen. We use them instead of the over head lights so it saves us dollars plus you can see what you are doing on the counters. We loved them so much we came back and ordered more so we could finish the new kitchen look.

Loving my New Lights
June 30, 2012
So glad i ordered these lights. The installer said it was a pleasure to work with these lights. Nothing to it for the install. Very "High End" lights according to everyone. There is nothing like this at the Home Stores. Save your time, believe me i wasted enough for all of us looking and comparing. They look great and are well priced compared to the specialty light store in town. They are thin and I am thrilled that they do not show over the small lip under the cabinets. Provides absolutely the warmest, yet brightest amount of light for my under the counter tasks at hand. I have a small L-shaped Kitchen so I ordered two 22 inch; two 14 inch and one smaller in the brushed steel. This provides more than enough light for my over the sink needs, etc. Shipping took only four days; very quick and great service from the Pegasus staff.
Extra note - I have used a high quality big name digital fade dimmer switch also available at Pegasus; so you can keep the task switch on high and regulate the high/low from the dimmer on all of the task lights simultaneously. The delayed off light and slow dim down to off is also the neatest looking thing when your leaving the room. Looks Great!
Pros:
thin profile and sleek
warm beautiful light
brushed steel blends well with cabinets/appliances
doesn't show under cabinets
told its technically an easy install
great price
easy to order and quick shipping
better than special ordering at a retail store
Cons:

it was easy to install and plugs into an electrical outlet, which was key for us. Light is warm yellow and very good for tasks, but still attractive. Bulbs are cooler than halogens.

Pleasant surprise
June 3, 2012
Gives great amounts of task lighting, I looked at the "box store's" undercabinet lighting, and it protruded too far under the cabinet and gave spotty coverage. These are slim and nearly invisible when mounted, but most of all, they give wonderful amounts of either task light or just the right amount of wash lighting on low to accent the granite countertop. The quality of the product shows, and was worth the additional cost.
Pros:
Mounting hardware installed and ease of disassembly to mount. The fixture is so slim that it nearly disappears when mounted. The great amount of light that it gives.
Cons:
A little tough to get proper position under cabinet the first time (a second set of hands helps)

Good News and Bad News
May 31, 2012
I've recently replaced my kitchen cabinets and installed the Xenon Thin Undercabinet Task Lights. The product itself looks sturdy and functional with its dual select independent power switching. I did however have a couple of unpleasant experiences with these lights. The engineering of the plastic connectors on the ends of the lights (to enable you to string them together) fit perfectly. I was connecting two 32 inch lights together without the use of the Linking Cable. I hardwired the first light and then simply plugged the second light into the first light. It didn't light up. I found that if I severely twisted the second light, it sometimes made a connection and worked. The problem wasn't with the plastic connectors, but with the pins inside the connectors which are supposed to make contact with the hardwired light. I couldn't leave them crooked because those were in view over an opening in the wall. I even tried using a Linking Cable. Same problem. My only recourse was to hardwire the first one with the second one to bypass the connectors, which I did and it resolved the problem. The other issue are the knockouts for hardwiring. Do they have to be that secure? There are 4 points to break away in order to install the connector. I don't have a breakout tool (does one exist?) for such a small size, so after I bent the first light just trying to break one out, I used a dremel to cut the four points on the next one to get it off. Concerning the Linking Cables, some went on good and tight, others were kind of loose. I'm still worried about the loose ones, but they are working now. The only other issue is with the mounting screws to mount the lights under the cabinet. They work OK once. If you have to remove them for any reason and put them back in, the hex on the screw becomes rounded easily. I actually used different screws to mount the lights. I had a problem with a porcelain light base in one of the units. The xenon bulb would not go in and I ended up breaking the bulb trying to force it in. I took a wire brad nail and that seemed to open the hole so the bulb would go in.at least part of the way. It's working now. The good news? They look great. I have them on a dimmer and the wife is extremely happy. When the wife is happy, I'm happy.
Pros:
The lights which are in view look sleek.
Hardwiring the lights is fairly easy with the easy to use connectors inside the lights. Wiring covers snap on good and tight.
The lighting is fantastic.
Cons:
More work needs to be done on the metal pins inside the plastic connectors which connect the lights together, and possibly the Linking Cables.
Make the breakouts easier to break out so you don't bend the light.

Great undercounter lights
May 24, 2012
I am remodelling the kitchen and planned to put in undercounter lights. Needed 1" depth or less to hide behind the counter bottom lip. I searched nearby lighting stores and most were 1 3/8" or deeper. I found one set at 1" but the one I examined had cheap plastic parts and when I took off the snap-off plastic cover, I was unable to get the unit to stay together when I put it back on! It was also more expensive than these. So I decided to try web ordering and started with this single unit to see if these would fit the bill.
They exceeded my expectations. High quality construction. Parts go together firmly with no fear anything will fall apart. The magnetic closure is great - easy to access the bulbs. Much more solid feeling than the other units I checked out. The light was bright and pure as expected from Xenon. The result is I ordered 8 more units for the major project.
I was also extremely pleased with the prompt shipping. I received my lights much faster than anticipated. Very pleased all the way.
Pros:
Solidly built. Quality appearance. Magnetic cover. Very thin.
Cons:
Nothing

Xenon Task Lights
April 23, 2012
Looks great installed - easy installation - the most difficult thing about installing was getting the metal "knock outs" out (I did direct wire) - but once that was done it was a breeze. They have a super easy direct-connect wire thing that takes only a few seconds to wire-up the lights. I only had about a 1/2 inch under my cabinets - you can only see a tiny bit of these lights if you bend down and look for them - so basically you can't see them at all. There is also a dim and bright setting on each light which is nice.
Pros:
Low profile.
Easy to install.
Two light settings.
Cons:
none

April 10, 2012
The light is exactly what is represented in the ad. Two things that are my negatives. The specs show the light as being a certain length 10 18 22 etc. Actually the light is one half inch to three quarters longer because of the connection at the end. This should be taken into account when you measure your cabinets. The other thing is the light cover will fall off if you don't have the light perfectly installed. Any slight twist in the light will not allow the magnet to hold up the cover properly. I was able to get the lights to work fine. Signed The Happy Homeowner.

Very nice xenon light for the price
April 1, 2012
Very thin, very nice light output. My only gripe would be that I would like to be able to hardwire these out the sides, but that is not possible due to the non removable linking connector. If they made the link cable in shorter lengths, say 2" or 3", maybe a 6" cable too, then I would probably have opted to use those. I'm sure if you wanted, you could tuck the extra cable length between the cabinets, but I didn't want the hassle and the added expense. I have the other 120v version of these lights installed at another house. I would highly recommend the xenon fixtures.
Pros:
Thin, magnetic latches on glass cover, xenon bulbs. Different sizes on this fixture vs. the other xenon 120v lights.
Cons:
No option to order without molex connecting plugs. Can't direct wire out of the sides like you can the other version of the 120v xenon light. Non standard cable clamp opening.

Good Lights-Good Service
March 29, 2012
Lights came within 2 days of ordering online. They were part of a kitchen redo and were installed by the contractor a couple of weeks later. After installation it was noticed that one hinged door does not swing open as freely as others (bought 7 fixtures), but not an issue worth replacing light for. However, then after all lights were installed, it was discovered that 2 of them had greenish diffusers instead of the white/clear ones. I called the company and they were aware that they had a problem with some of the lights coming through with the green diffusers. They said they would send replacement doors (easily swapped out) for me to correct the problem. Two days later, the doors arrived and problem was fixed. Excellent service.
Pros:
Solid fixtures, don't feel "cheap".
Great Service from Pegasus.

Looks great. Too bad all but the one I installed over the eat in breakfast nook is hidden by the cabinets! Excellent light from these.
Pros:
+ great looks
+ wiring options
+ push-in wiring blocks inside for hard wiring light
+ multiple knock-outs to choose from
Cons:
- knock outs weren't so easy to knock out...outing disfiguring the fixture itself. Ended up using a Dremel to help remove the knockouts.
- linking cable connections seemed way to loose, especially for connectors that carry line voltage.
- if hard wiring like I did, it can get very tight inside, making reinstalling the cover a pain.
- poor QA, several of the units had glass slivers from when the lens is 'crimped' to the frame. Had a broken bulb in another.

We just installed 4 of these in a new construction house where we didn't want to pay extra to have the bottom trim board on the cabinets just to hide an undercabinet light. These lights are very slim line and hide under a normal cabinet very nicely. I searched very hard to find lights that would do that and yet give off the light we wanted. These are great and I know we will love them. I have to also say that Pegasus was very nice to work with on-line. Simple to follow order form and we couldn't believe how quickly our lights were sent. Thanks for great service and nice hidden lights. Love the stainless steel color too.

Xenon under-cabinet lights
February 23, 2012
I used hard wiring to connect, and recommend, if possible, using the molex connectors, instead. If chain wiring with romex, it gets crowded inside the fixture, making it difficult to close, and I had to be creative by cutting the wires to the molex connectors to enable additional connections. Also found that the romex connectors are not designed for this fixture, and quality control is poor in that the locking nuts are too large in caliber and therefore slip, and the screws locking the strain relief are too long and extend upward into the cabinet base if tighten properly, and a partition of the connector will be visible projecting below the fixture.
The finished job looks nice, but next time will not wire internally. Fixtures purchased at Home Depot come with molex connectors included, and I recommend Pegasus consider this, as well.
Pros:
Length options. Slim design. Light output.
Cons:
Some quality control issues. Connections may be a challenge.

Nice light solution
January 30, 2012
Xenon does get hot, but produces a pleasing amber light. These fixtures are quite nicely built. I bought and installed 5 of them in various lengths. Everything worked right. My only complaint is that wire clamp provided with the lights is so poorly constructed that it will not tighten to the fixture so I could not use them. I wound up getting rubber grommets at the home center to protect the wire from the sharp edges. (Its not a code-required clamp, I know, but is effective to protect the wire.)
Because they are compact, there is little room for excess wire in the fixture, so you must wire them carefully. But, once done, they produce nice bright pleasing light. Get the largest one that fit the bottom of each cabinet for best lighting results. For maximum convenience and effect, run the power to all the lights through a dimmer switch. You'll be happy with the results of the extra effort.
Pros:
Everything else
Cons:
Wire clamps are useless

Xenon Undercabinet Lighting
January 25, 2012
Excellent.
Recommend that the xenon bulbs be fitted prior to mounting each light fitting.Trying to line the pins up with the holes in the bulb socket is not easy once the fitting is installed.
Pros:
Easy to install, especially with the two captive mounting screws and you are lying on your back trying to secure it to the underside of a cabinet.
Switch - dim/off/bright. Having local control on each light is very useful.
Color of light - not too white and harsh, dim level sets a nice ambience.

I would recommend this light and have, but make sure your wiring is in the proper place or it is not fun to install.
Pros:
It was narrow so you can't see it. had a nice finish to the light. Also the two light settings are nice if not on a dimmer. Overall happy with my purchase.
Cons:
I would have roughed wired in different had I known how the wires came into box. The electrical grommet was not easy to work with.You have to have a large whole in the sheet rock so the grommet can recess into wall. I drilled my own holes in light where needed and placed my grommet. Light was not really a task light with only 20-watt bulbs, can place bigger though.

Just what I was looking for
December 27, 2011
1. Website did a great job of describing and showing the item. Very helpful to have the grid chart for size/length required to fit a space - I had a 22" space and the 14" light is just right
2. Like that the unit is direct wired
3. 15/16" is perfect for standard issues cabinets which have a recess of just under 1" so the unit disappears
4. Brushed steel finish matches our wet bar sink.
5. Dim setting just enough to see and not so much that the glare messes with the ambience of our basement TV room.
I couldn't be happier
Pros:

Cons:
Nothing really. Our contractor loved this light.

Fantastic lights
December 11, 2011
These lights couldn't be any easier to install or nicer to look at and use. I ended up buying 9 stainless steel of all four different sizes to put throughout our kitchen. I hung them toward the front of the cabinets and the light is diffused just the right amount and on the low setting produce a very warm light. From the easy quick connectors that also simplify daisy chaining to the inclusion of every part you'll need to hang and use them, I can't recommend them more strongly! Two tips, use a very hard surface (like granite) when hammering out the electrical wire covers, and be sure to leave at least a half inch or so from the front of the cabinet for the hinged glass cover to open.
Pros:

Bought 4 of these lights when we did our kitchen remodel. We have these hard wired to
a dimmer and love them. Look very nice and seem very well made.

Very good value
November 26, 2011
I installed 9 under counter lights in my kitchen. The lights were very easy to install...interconnect cables worked great. Out of the 9 lights I did have a problem with 1 bulb socket. I fixed it myself. All lights look great and give a nice even light.
Pros:
ease of use, install
Cons:
throw off a lot of heat
had 1 socket where bulb was a problem installing

Pleased with Light Purchase
November 18, 2011
I am pleased with the purchase from Pegasus Lighting. The Xenon light is nice and thin and fits behind my cabinet front perfectly. I can't see it when I am sitting down from the adjoining room like you can with so many other things that are suppose to be hidden under the cabinet. It casts enough light for cooking tasks but was surprised when placed in the front of the cabinet as opposed to along the wall in the back that the light is more directed toward the back rather than directly down. I got two 22 inch lights so having enough light is not an issue. They look and feel like a quality light fixture. I intend to buy more to link them together.
Pros:
High quality so far
attractive looking, thin and light weight
can be linked in series for accent lighting
Cons:
Direction of lighting more towards back wall than I would have expected but adequate light source anyway. Not a problem if attached in the back of the cabinet but maybe could be seen then from a distance if that bothers you.

These are awesome under cabinet lights. Dimmable, ultra-thin, hard wired and super efficient xenon. Easy to daisy chain in a series. Get these.

Nice - once installed
November 3, 2011
Not for the faint of heart. Maybe I was tired? But as an accomplished do-it-yourselfer I found this install to be a bear. Difficulties started with the lame instructions and were compounded by the smallness of the device (one reason it was purchased of course!). However, once in place it looks and works as advertised.
Pros:
profile, price
Cons:
installation

Great product and retailer
October 12, 2011
These are high quality lights, very thin and install nicely. Cable clamps are included for attaching Romex or small armored cable. Very nice magnets to hold cover while installing or replacing lamps. One of five units worked intermittently. Pegasus replaced it immediately, no questions asked. Great company to do business with.
Pros:
Slim design, high construction quality, light.
Cons:
Molex connectors are bulky and stiff. One didn't contact quite right at first. Difficult to tuck wires out of the way when you are closing the wiring compartment after installing.

Great product
September 27, 2011
These lights bring the sunshine into my kitchen! I wish I had bought them 10 years ago. I had them installed by a friend who was impressed by the quality. I bought the nickle color, but they are invisible under the counter. I have them on a dimmer, and use high power for tasks, turn it down for accent. It makes my backsplash tile sparkle. Customer service and delivery time were excellent. I will order from Pegasus again.
Pros:
quality of light fixtures
ease of opening to install bulbs
bright, true light (no blue tint)
Cons:
not a thing

Xenon Line Voltage Thin Under Cabinet Task Lights
September 25, 2011
Was disappointed with the under cabinet light as the wiring was not included nor were the clips. The ease with which the items were shipped was excellent. We received the items within a few days.
Pros:
The slim appearance.
Cons:
Was VERY disappointed in the amount of light that came from these lights. Definitely did not produce the amount of light under my cabinet I was looking for. The lighting was very dim and produced a shadow. The lights are being returned.

Nice fixtures
August 22, 2011
I purchased eight fixtures and they work great. The fixtures are all metal and well constructed. I installed them on a dimmer which makes for great task lighting at full power and lower dimmed level for accent lighting later in the evening. The fixtures produce very nice white light and the bronze finish disappears well with our dark cabinets. The fixtures are small and working under the cabinets make this install take a while, but it is not difficult for those with some electrical experience. Plan your install to use interconnecting cables and it will go faster. I returned one fixture that came with faulty switch, which Pegasus swapped out quickly and without any hassle. Great product and excellent service.
Pros:
White light,
Small size,
Nice bronze finish
Quality material
Great service from vendor

Very pleasing lights.
August 13, 2011
I mounted these lights about 1 1/2 inches back from the front of the cabinets, which seems like the perfect balance of illuminating both the counter and the tile backsplash. This is slightly front of center. They look great! Keep in mind that you can directly connect two strips together under one cabinet (if you have an odd size cabinet). I had a 39 inch cabinet in which I used a 22 inch + a 14 inch connected directly together. It was an easy installation if you've done wiring before.
Pros:
Very pleasing light
Easy installation
Slim (Completely hidden)!
Bulbs included

love these lights
July 8, 2011
I had 4 Xenon under cabinet task lights installed in my kitchen a week ago. What a difference they make! The light is softer than a fluorescent light, but not as yellow as an incandescent. I keep them mainly on the low setting, for accent. But it's great to have the higher setting option for extra light when I'm cooking. Product is made nicely, installed easily and is invisible under the cabinet.
Pros:
2 setting option
size/thinness
Cons:
nothing

Great product, Great customer service
July 5, 2011
The lights worked great in my kitchen...I direct wired them with 12 gauge wire. It was a bit tricky due to their slim profile however well worth the effort given the final result. I also had a pin break on one of the bulbs. Pegasus rush delivered replacements at no charge. Great value and great customer service. Will continue to use for my future lighting needs.
Pros:
Price, quality, customer service

Beautiful and Slim!

These lights are beautiful and very slim. We do not have a valance, and they are visible but elegant. Keep in mind the photo on the site is not for the dark bronze, but they are dark bronze in reality.
Pros:
Slim profile
