[Greenbuilding] undercabinet fluorescent fixtures

[JOHN SALMEN]

I like that line about it being a maze. I find designing a residential
kitchen worse than a boat. Early on I defaulted to halogen pucks and now led
has thankfully replaced that. I don't really think it is really useful
working light - more like an accent or nitelite than anything else and
wasteful for that - but then I also don't like upper cabinets. Modern
residential kitchens were essentially designed by some rich brat in the 30's
so her staff would be more efficient??

Led pucks are cabinetmaker friendly and are pretty well integrated now with
your criteria except they generally do incorporate plastic for housing and
lens.

I'm having a devil of a time finding good ones. I can't seem to find the
right color temperature (~3000K), the right lengths (6", 12", 18", 24" and
36"), the right thickness (< 1.5"), the right widths (< 4"), the right
housing material (metal, not plastic), the right efficiency (~100 l/w), the
right configuration (hardwired with rocker switch) all in the same fixture.
Anybody been through this maze with success?

Tim
