The Priori T2 light fixture is sleek and provides excellent light; installing it was another matter altogether. The keyholes that were supposed to allow for easy mounting to the cabinet did not exist; rather, the keyhole shape was embossed on the plastic housing which made it a lot more difficult and time-consuming to attach the fixture to the cabinet. The knockout for wiring was virtually impossible to knock out; I ended up drilling it as a previous reviewer had stated was necessary. The wiring compartment which was supposed to flip open to allow for hands-free wiring simply fell out when the clips were released so that the cover kind of flopped around in the way while wiring the fixture. Overall, this is an excellent product with some major installation flaws.

A very neat light once installed. I actually had to buy a second one of these because the installer accidentally destroyed the first when he tried to get one of the "knock-out" openings knocked out (it didn't knock out and when he drilled it out the drill went on too far into the unit destroying some of the electrical circuitry). So, the second one (the installer paid for it) did get installed but not too easily. But once in, it looks very nice and neat. I would recommend the fixture but also recommend that it be installed by a professional.

Received two of these less than two years ago, and both have burned out. Not the bulb, but rather the light fixture itself. Installed a new bulb and it immediately burns out! I called American Lighting and the said it sounds like the fixtures went bad....ya, no shit...but you guys made the fixture! When pushed they said the ballast in these do not last forever and can not be replaced. So basically they to not stand by their produces....I do not expect "forever"...but a light fixture should last more than a year or two. I think they just miss designed the light, and will not admit it. I will never buy from American lighting again.

Honest reviews on American Lighting 043T-22-WH Hardwired Fluorescent Under Cabinet

Any under cabinet fluorescent fixture from this company is very, very poorly designed. First, the "lense cover" which looks like a panel is almost impossible to remove. Even after practicing for 15 or so minutes on the work bench, removing still took at least 10 minutes. Now, install the fixture and try to remove it when it is under the cabinet good luck.

Next is the cover for the electrical section. The cover is held in place by two spring tabs which, again, are very difficult to pull back so the cover can be removed. Once inside, wires and stuff are removed and replaced in a specific order. Deviate from putting it back together the way it was removed, you are up that famous creek with no means of locomotion.

Finally, in January and February of 2013, I bought 5 of these. One crapped out on 1 March. Although it is within warranty, it is backordered and they will sub a similar model.

I rate this P.O.S a minus two.

Very slim profile and nice quality. So many of these lights have plastic lenses that turn yellow with time. This one has a glass lense and I think it will remain looking like new.
