Customer Reviews for Enbrighten Direct Wire 12 in. LED White Under Cabinet Light

I used both the 24 in. and 18 in. Enbrighten LED lights to replace all of the fluorescent under cabinet fixtures we had in the kitchen. I was lucky in that the romex feed to each fluorescent fixture was off center enough that I was able to work out an entry point for the LED fixtures. The fluorescent fixtures were both deeper and made of thicker gauge metal. I had to connect two lights in series to match the 3' and 4' lengths of the fluorescent fixture. And, since all of the under counter lights are in series as well, that is a lot of wire to pack into the much smaller LED fixtures. I loved the press fit AC connectors in the the new fixtures as they had two open contacts for easy daisy chaining. I did buy a 1/2 inch sheet metal hole punch and a nibbler to make the new AC openings. Probably overkill. Also, if you are daisy chaining two fixtures in line like I did, leave a gap between them so that you can fit both covers back on. I used a multipurpose Nm/Bx Cable Connector for 1/2" knockout to connect the fixtures together and protect the wires, but left the nut loose to allow for the covers. I barely left enough gap with the first two I did. Once again, probably overkill

Great little low profile LED that exceeds my expectations, I have had it now for couple of months, works great.

We installed these lights this week in our kitchen, and we are very happy with them. We like the option of selecting the light color that looks best with our countertops and backsplash. The size/length options and thickness worked great for our application too. Installed the 18", 24" and 36" lights with ease.

Hard wired eight of these lights to a single switch for a kitchen remodel. Each package comes with one armored cable connector for a 1/4" hole. I wired several lights in a line from one power source so I had to purchase additional 1/4" connectors from a local electrical supply as Home Depot does not carry these small connectors. Very bright on the daylight mode. The other two modes offer softer lighting if wanted. Completely met expectations.

This light was relatively easy to install and is very bright, just the amount needed for my kitchen. I will buy another to install in my dining room.

I read some issues with the reviews that concerned me such as flimsy aluminum housing, stripped screws, and importantly small space within the housing for wires but I bought the 24 inch to try one out. No problems it took about a half hour to install. Two small screws on the housing take the top cover off. Yes, the housing is thin aluminum but that’s not a problem because it’s mounted under the cabinet, I just had to be a little careful removing the end knockout so as not to bend the housing. It includes a wire clip for the housing. Once opened you will find the hot neutral and cold wires run from one end of the fixture in a channel to abut to the 3” shy other end. The wires can be removed from the channel easily and reconfigured and directed to either end of the unit. No problem. Each has a plug-in type wire nut. There are two keyhole mounting holes in the back of the fixture compartment, simply hold up the fixture where you want it and mark where the holes are. Be sure to pre-drill As it makes it much easier. I put the two screws in about 3/4 of the way And then slid on the light fixture Through the keyholes and held it in place while I tightened the screws- It wasn’t that hard I fed my house wires into the unit about 3 inches... I did not want to put too much wire in the fixture because I had read reviews that there’s limited space ..Stripped about 3/8 of an inch off my 14 gauge Romex wire before inserting them into the fixture As it’s easier than once it’s inside. Plug the black to black, white to white, green to green. And there was plenty of room for additional length of wire. Held a cover over it and replace the two screws to hold it on. If you’ve ever install the light fixture, on a scale of 1 to 10 I would give this project 3, maybe a four cause it’s a pain to hold your head down and look up

Bought two of these to swap out some flourescent lighting.. super bright and i liked the color temp adjustments.. however, something seemed off with these. The lights seemed to have a pulse or flicker to them.. giving me a headache. I did a slow motion vidèo with my iphone and sure enough, major pulsing. Taking these back and putting new flourescents in.

Bought this to replace a dim, hot halogen light. Easy install and much brighter without all the intense heat which was degrading the food in the cupboard. Very happy with this purchase. Just bought four more to replace the rest of the halogen cabinet lights.

This product is made well and works as described. The only problem is the lack of space to tuck the wires inside. 1/4 more space would be great.

Easy to install, Works as expected. I like the ability to change color temp. Packaging was just right.

This unit give nice even diffused, soft light perfect for under cabinet lighting.

I love the light options and low profile. Easy to install and comes with everything you need to install. A little pricey.

Wired installation was easy and simple. The multiple light color settings work as advertised. I have four of these under my kitchen cabinets controlled by a Leviton dimmer. Best LED under cabinet lights I have seen for the money.

It would be much better if there were a dimmer switch on the light itself. It is a few lumens too bright for under a kitchen cabinet. They charge $20 more for the this light with the three adjustable light modes than the single light mode. Then you have to pay another $30 for a dimmer switch to cut the brightness and get a nasty electrical shock trying to install the dimmer switch.

Be prepared for brightness! Used these to replace some fluorescent fixtures and the difference is remarkable. The instructions said to mount at the front of the cabinets but we mounted to the back.

Bought two of these and several more 12 in to replace existing fluorescent fixtures installed when the house was built. Fluorescent bulbs we having a short life and were about $9 each. At the rate they were failing, this should pay for itself within two years. The Enbrighten product here has an on/off switch plus a switch to select between 3 illumination levels/temperatures, soft white/cool white/natural daylight being 3k/4k/5k respectively. Since the wiring was existing, it was a simple matter to remove the existing fixtures and replace them with the Enbrighten. These units being LED allowed me to add a dimmer to the wall switched circuit, something you cannot do with fluorescent lights nor with most CFLs. Very pleased with the results. I will say that if you are not skilled with house wiring, you should probably have this done by an electrician.

I purchased and installed two of these lights to replace two old, burned-out fluorescent lights in our kitchen about two weeks ago. They were both super easy to install and look great in our kitchen. The option to choose three different lighting effects is a wonderful feature and allows you to choose from a soft yellow to a bright daylight. We leave the lights on at the fixture and just turn them on or off at the switch. It has made a world of difference and now makes working in our kitchen so much easier and nicer. Unfortunately, I did not get great before pictures but the posted pictures show post-installation with the daylight effect.

We started shopping for under cabinet LED light fixtures almost two years ago when they were just coming out. The few choices were all expensive. February 2017 was ourt decision date and we did a final shop. Our installation was set up for direct wire and we found several choices. Most were 3000K. The Enbrighten fixtures won out. Decision factors included a selection of three light colors and the most lumens of anything we looked at. We bought two 12" and one 24" fixtures. I installed them myself. The installation of the 12" was a bit of a challenge as there is very little room in the fixture for wiring but with patience I got it done. The result? Fantastic! Our new kitchen is white with granite counter tops and the LED under cabinet lights make an incredible difference. The light is well diffused with no glare or reflection and the fixtures are dimmable if we ever decide we have too much light. We found the warm white setting was the most pleasant though there are some cooking situations where my wife switches to the cool white. These Enbrighten LED fixtures are attractively priced, have great features, and beat anything we found anywhere at any price. They exceed our expectations.

Very easy to install. I have had this light (and 4 of the 24" models) for a month. The only drawback to this 12" light is that there is very little room inside the case for stuffing wire and wire nuts. The 24" lights have plenty of room within the case for wire connections. Also, the knock outs for wire runs are at the ends of the case so I had to trim a wire opening in the back center of the case since that was the only way to center the light with a minimum of added wiring track (plastic cover). The unusual feature of these lights is that they provide 3 light output options (warm white, bright white and daylight) by just toggling a switch on the face of the enclosure.

We hard wired ours into the wall operated by a switch. We put them under all of our upper cabinets and they are awesome. There are three different settings for type of light you want, although the warm white is more than sufficient! It gives off excellent light, very bright.

These lights are very good and put out plenty amount of light.

Very happy with my purchase. Excellent light coverage for our kitchen counters. The small profile of these lights is great, but pretty tight to cram 14 gauge wire into a tiny space to power them. Also would like to have been furnished a second Romex connector so that the wire leading to a second fixture wired in on the same switch would be protected from the sharp edges of the cutout.

You r not selling them any longer. I have to order from amazone to get them now.

Easy to install, sleek light.

Easy to install. I really like the ability to control the color temperature of the light. No ambient noise like the fluorescent lights I replaced, and the light covers a wider space than the old fixture.

Easy install great product

Excellent light fixture for under cabinet lighting. Never enough inventory in the stores
