Question about stick and click lighting for under cabinets????

Question

I recently bought a brand new kitchen aid professional mixer.

However, I have to get rid of one of the small lamps I have on my counter tops for extra lighting in the kitchen. I was looking to replace the lamp and purchase the stick and click lighting system. Are these lights fluorscent? Or are they like a light bulb that is more a yellow tint at opposed to white light. I hate fluorscent lighting.

Can anyone recommend a light that can be easily mounted under a cabinet? Looking to not have to do any wiring. Thanks in advance for your responses!

Answer 1

IKEA has these small lights that you can "pop" just about anywhere. The product name is NON. They are quite small, and I believe they are not fluorescent. Small requirement, they do require a plug. But usually not too hard to find in the kitchen. They will give you plenty of light though and are inexpensive at $9.99 for a 2 pack. The touch lights are OK and I don't believe that they are fluorescent, but they rely on batteries which could get expensive over time. Good luck!

Answer 2

The problem with those stick and click is that they are battery driven and would need new batteries very frequently. There are plug in halogen or xenon lights that are shaped like hockey pucks and come with a six foot cord to go into the nearest outlet. They come with a hi/lo/off switch on the holding frame.

Home Depot has them as a set of three on a frame for about $29. They are very efficient and give a high brilliant white output. They light up great and are low profile to fit under cabinets.

I bought a set on QVC during the holidays. They swivel and stick wherever you want them.
