Good Earth Lighting 21.5-inch Plug In Linking Under Cabinet Light - White

I purchased 3 of these for lighting a new pantry. I am pleased with the linking feature and the light is almost instantly on. I've been using these for about 2 months now with no issues and look forward to many more months with them. Installation was a breeze and everything works as stated.Update - 03/4/13I've had these lights for a few years now and they have performed as expected with zero issues. I haven't had to replace any bulbs yet and they still turn on within 1-2 seconds.

Update: I finally installed this, and about the tenth time I turned it on, there was a flash and now it's deal. This was after I bought a cool white bulb to replace the yellow bulb it came with with, and spent $4 more for mounting hardware at Home Depot. A complete waste of money.The light from this lamp is not "warm white", it's a sickly yellow. I'm not sure when the bulb and lamp manufacturers decided that the public was yearning for the candle light of the 1800s, but that seems to be the goal. Basically, with this type of bulb, you can't have enough wattage to be able see fine detail clearly.Fortunately, I was expecting some version of this problem and also ordered a replacement "cool white" bulb. It won't be a "natural sunlight" bulb, but at least you will be able to see what it illuminates.The other problem is the mounting. It obviously is meant to screw to the bottom of wood cabinets with the clips and wood screws provided. Unfortunately, my computer desk is not wood. so I now have a problem with the mounting.For me, this has turned into more trouble than it's worth, but your mileage may vary.

I bought these because we have a pretty old home, which doesn't have adequate lighting. I bought two to mount under my new cabinets and I find that they are excellent. The light isn't completely white/blue, which I appreciate because I'm not a fan of florescent lights. They're bright and can be linked to additional fixtures. The mounting process was very easy and took me only a few minutes. Overall, an excellent buy.

Got these for under our kitchen cabinets. They are super easy to install - two screws for two brackets that the light snaps into, which don't have to be meticulously spaced. Just anywhere along the length of the tube is fine. I loved that the light came with an enclosure to cover the bulb tube - a real bargain, even if it's just thin plastic. What I don't like is that the connectors for the power cord are very loose. Half the time, I have to wiggle the cord after I turn on the light to get it to come on. Also, when you link these, you have to turn each light on individually. It doesn't work to just turn on and off the first one in the chain. This is both a plus and a con at the same time. We will eventually replace these, but for now, they are working well enough and are plenty of bright.

I bought a couple of these to provide indoor lighting for seedlings. They would maybe be better in an application (typical undercounter, etc) where you put them up and never touch them again. Less likely to fall apart that way. The electrical connection doesn't fit well and has to be jiggled with when the lamp blinks out - every time this happens the whole thing looks like it could come apart. Shoddy - but you get what you pay for, right? The little T5 lamps are not cheap, though, and cost nearly as much as the fixture. Three stars is about a half star fat.

We bought this to put under the counter which is over the kitchen sink. We have a plug in the cabinet so it worked out well for us. It has a very easy "clip" attachment system that only requires 2 screws. The light is a nice white color, bright enough for our need of washing dishes, but not overwhelming. We also use it as a kitchen "night light" so it has been on 24 hrs a day for a couple months with no problem. I like that it replaces a 3-bulb halogen unit that was using 75 watts instead of the 13 this uses with nearly identical brightness.

This 21 1/2" Light is absolutely nasty. It is shines a yellowincandescent light and not a bright white florescent.We gave it away and used a another model (24" model)Daniel J. Tyler

My fixture arrived today and installed 10 minutes later. Having owned many fixtures like this and a huge number of T8 fixtures in my business, I knew from the start to order a T5 bulb with a higher color temp. For me, 6500k or daylight will suit my needs over a small counter where I use a Vita-Mix and cutting board.People don't seem to get the fact that the bulb in this fixture is likely the lowest temp, thus yellowish.For only 3-4 bucks you can solve the problem with a little knowledge. Match the number for the bulb (F13T5 13watt 20 inch) and choose something in the middle or high color range. There are a few right here on Amazon that work.The case and plugs are good quality for such a low price. I see this exact fixture at local big stores for 30-40 bucks.It remains to be seen how long the electronic ballast will last, but the design is clean and it's easy to install.Best To All
