Are these safe to use in my current fixtures under kitchen cabinets? They are UL listed, i'm a little cautious to re-wire them.

Yes, absolutely! The tube is slightly warm to the touch, but noticeably less warm than a fluorescent. The string of small LED's that comprise the tube have a reflective backing, which acts as a combination heat sink and heat shield.

I bought these bulbs to use in my RV. They give great light and I can boon dock forever with very little battery use.

I would check with an electrician regarding that. Remember they only replace 12 VOLT bulbs that are usually found in RVs.

I am not sure- These lights are plug in. The way it worked for us was that the plugs under counter are connected to the light switch, so we were able to install under counter and them plug them in. Hope that helps.

Yes,i think so. I have used them on a dimmer, but I do not know if I am doing any harm.

I'm no electrician but I would presume so if they are specifically noted as "dimmable." I finally installed the fixture and I like it very much. Though it is only about a week or so up and running, so who really knows.

I used the outlet above the stove that supplied the microwave and I had one installed in the cabinet above the fridge. I love these lights and ease of install. Ley me know if you want pics. jjjohnson65@msn.com

I have these in cans in the kitchen and we have not had a problem yet. I think they would be fine in the bathroom unless the fixture is sealed.

you could use them above your cabinets, however i don't think it will look right. i bought these for under my bar to shine down onto the brass foot rail. Another suggestion would be under your kitchen cabinets perhaps.

Hi..probably not....but the wires are so small, being LED that they are easy enough to run and plug in without noticing the wire as long a you are willing to drill a few holes in your cupboard. I hid wire behind the edge of tile. They are amazing lights, way better than what my electrician had installed only a month before wth huge wires. I say buy them and see.

These fixture are safe to use in a bathroom, I instaled one over my vanity. The tubular bulbs recommended are not strong enough, I suggest you use the narrow neon bulbs or even better the LED bulbs (more expensive, but they will last a lifetime)

The lights are very sensitive. I have them under my kitchen cabinets and they work so well that my landlord asked me to order some for him to install in his own house.

The answer to this is that they are larger than a halogen. I'm also not certain that these would be what you're looking for in this type of application either being that I don't think they would produce the type of light that would be sufficient for under cabinet lighting. If it were me I would spend the money and replace the unit with an LED under cabinet system. These lights work great for outdoor path lighting but I couldn't imagine being bright enough for anything else. I am extremely satisfied with these lights.

I think that could work. The lights have worked great. Not the easiest to install but for the price worth it and they do function properly. I have mine under kitchen cabinets on a dimmer switch in the wall.

I use these in a non-dim-able IKEA fixture. I imagine they would work in a dim-able fixture that took them. As for longevity, I've found them to be quite satisfactory.

I have been mounting them in the light fixtures themselves or splice box close by. I do not have a specific answer for you but I would keep it close....say 10 feet. You would have to check with the Mfg.The distance would depend on the wire gauge and load being attached. Sorry... can't be more specific.

Sure. Mine are in recessed ceiling fixtures and work fine. Keep in mind this type of light produces like one-tenth the heat of an old-fashioned incandescent bulb. That's why it is so energy-efficient- minimal energy lost as heat.

No, use at your own risk. I used these to put LED in California CFL fixtures. Very low wattage.

Sorry, Matt, don't know. They do stick underneath wooden kitchen cabinet, but give practically no light. They were no good for purpose for which I wanted to use them.
