As other reviewers have mentioned, these are not packaged well. But that is the shoddy packaging of American Lighting, not Amazon. I had a similar issue with a broken end cap. Amazon took care of it quickly and easily with a cross-shipped replacement.

I have the brushed steel version of this in 3 different sizes, but they are really all the same aside from the cost. The lights put out a decent amount of light, and the light is similar to an incandescent bulb, so somewhat yellow.

Installation wasn't too difficult, but make sure you leave a long enough wire when the electrical is run. On the larger (34 in) fixtures the feed hole can be almost 2 feet from where you make the connection inside the fixture. As other reviews have mentioned, its very tight in there and you don't want to be forced to extend the wires. I'm of average handiness and was able to install 3 of these lights in an hour or 2.

As another review mentioned, it is not possible to use the clamps that screw into the punch-outs and hold the feed wire in place. They are too tall for the low profile lights, and really just poorly made. Ironically, these useless clamps are the piece that sometimes will be bumped into the plastic end caps during shipping, breaking the end caps.

In another review someone mentioned that the magnets that hold the cover up are not strong enough. None of my lights had this problem at all. The magnets were more than strong enough to keep the cover tightly closed.

These are good lights and are generally good quality. Some reviewers noted that the wire clamps, which are boxed at one end of each fixture, can damage the plastic ends, though the three I ordered did not have this problem. Each of my fixtures held two Xenon bulbs, and one of the sockets in one of the fixtures seems to be damaged in some way and cannot receive the bulb. Amazon is sending a replacement. Lesson from this is that there is some chance you'll be making an exchange. Xenon lights are incandescent and product the same warm light you are probably familiar with from regular light bulbs. They are supposed to be superior to halogen lighting, but both produce a fair amount of heat. I will update my review if the heat generated from these fixtures produces any headaches.

Aside from the plastic ends, construction uses a good amount of metal and is generally high quality. Internal wiring is also decent. When you disassemble the pieces you will want to do so carefully, and never force something apart. There are plastic/metal elements to the front magnetic hinge which can bend and, though this is easily fixed, can lead to future headaches.

Installation Tips:

I am quite comfortable with electrical wiring so that probably impacts my thoughts on this process. If appropriate for your application I recommend tying all connected fixtures to a dimmable light switch. Leave the fixtures set to high and adjust the light to a level that pleases you from a single location. I have not noticed any sort of frustrating flicker at dimmed levels as one reviewer mentioned, nor have I heard any buzzing (mine are on a cheap $15 Leviton dimmer, comparable to R10-IPI06-1LM). The easier ways to install these fixtures are to daisy-chain them from one fixture through side connectors (I am using three, with one chained on the right and another on the left) or using the connector cables (sold separately) with the same ports. You could also connect them with Romex using additional knock-out ports and the push-in wire connectors attached to the internal junctions (see below).

The 14" lights feature three knock-out ports on the back for wiring into the fixture and, as reviewers have mentioned, they *are* hard to open. One reviewer suggested using a Dremel and that would work nicely. I just hammered away at it with my needle nose pliers and got it open. The bolt which attaches the wire clams does not have enough room to turn inside the fixture. To resolve this issue turn the wire clamp itself into the bolt and install the third piece (which clamps down on the wires) after you've got the wires in. Each connection point inside the fixture attaches to a push-in wire connector with room for two additional wires. They work well and could be used to daisy chain additional fixtures with Romex using additional knock-out ports without too much trouble. If your existing wiring was not long enough to get to the connection points inside the fixture (apparently a problem with the longer fixtures) you could create a junction inside the fixture using a two-slot Ideal push-in wire connector and some patience

Oh, and a final note. The instructions with my fixture described mounting screws and then slipping the fixture up onto them and sliding it into place. My fixture had simple screw-sized holes. My instructions described the internal grounding wire as green (which would be fairly normal), but in my fixtures the grounding wire inside the fixture is yellow.

Good luck! Despite some headaches, I'm happy with this product.

The lights are attractive. Difficult to install. You can not leave the lights on for a long period of time. They get really hot!!! I would not recommend these lights.

Honest reviews on American Lighting 043X-4-BS Hardwired Xenon Under Cabinet Lighting

I am completely redoing my ktichen. Spent a fortune on having all cabinets wired for undercaibnet lighting. These lights are beautiful and very slim. My electrician brought his own, but I liked mine much better. They really seem great at a great price point. Especially like the magnetic cover. Fit very nicely under the cabinet and you really can not see them. Did alot of research and find these are a best buy all the way around

I'll sum it up quickly:

Pros:

Easy to open and change bulbs as face is magnetic

Sleek design, very low profile

Cons:

Difficult to hardwire, knockouts are almost as thick as the unit and they do not knockout out at all. They must be drilled with a cobalt drill bit. I nicked the wiring inside while doing the drilling and also scraped up the unit itself.

If you knockout at the far left back (facing the unit) it's difficult to compact all the wiring back into the unit in order to close the cover. There's just too much wiring passing thru such a small case.

The linking cables are huge.....taking away from the sleek design. If you have two long cabinets flanking a shorter sink cabinet, then find another light!!! The linking cables would ruin the whole look. I thought I would solve the problem by mounting on top of the cabinets and running the linking cable down the filler space.....nope.....not an option....they don't make long enough linking cables.

Overall: Would not buy again. I missed my return window so now I have very expensive over cabinet lighting!!!!!

The temperature of the light is very cold and anesceptic feeling. But I guess u could call it "daylight" color temp. More disappointing is that the led bulbs annoyingly flicker at low levels and that they wont turn themselves all the way off with my wall dimmers. No memtion was made of this on the product site. I guess im supposed to go buy some specialised LED dimmer switch. Super lame!

I purchase this item to illuminate my 300 ft driveway at night. To start, the left side of the hinges was broken when it arrived. This was fixed after a little do-it-yourself repair. After installation on a 30 ft eaves, it supposed to be able to reach up to 300 ft, but after about 150 ft I can hardly see the illumination and the visible area of the illumination is only around 8 ft diameter. Finally, I just left it to point at around 150 ft, at least I can still see something.

This unit works ok just has a narrow beam instead of a wide spread like most have for its other models.

This unit works Great. Once you aim it, you can forget it. The infrared light is invisible to the eye but my camera now sees great in the dark. Since it turns on automatically it requires no supervision. I now get clear images of intruders who mistakenly think its too dark to be seen. I'll be ordering more of these illuminator units for my other cameras that need help seeing in the dark. Thanks Much...John H.

Honest reviews on CMVision IR100 - 98 LED Indoor/Outdoor Long Range 200-300ft IR

I have this IR illuminator to support my Sony IR surveillance cameras at night. I bought two of them; one is for front yard, the other is for my backyard. The IR illuminator works excellent but with a very narrow light beam instead of a wide spread flood light. It works superb if you need night vision for your security cameras at a distance. Despite the visible red dots to the human eyes because this product emits IR wave length 850nm, overall it is an excellent product for such a reasonable price. I installed those boxes about 20 feet above the ground and they work great; the spot light lights up where I need it. Looking through the monitor that hooked up to the IR camera, my yards are all lit up, but when you physically take a peek at the yards, it is all dark. The only drawback is that the twin power transistors inside these IR illuminators are too hot to touch when the units are operating. I am afraid they might burn out someday if not with a heat sink or computer mini fan.

Product performed as promised. At first I thought product was defective but it has a daytime sensor to keep it off during daylight. Works exceptionally well if you want night vision for your security cameras. Have not tried the 12V adapter, though you would have to cut the 120v feed to attach and use 12V DC

We searched and searched for these lamps and finally found them at Amazon. Since we had looked so long we were leary about the order. They came early and we tore open the boxes. The packaging was excellent, the lamps were in perfect condition and exactly as we wanted. This is a great company (Lamps Plus) with super shipping and excellent products. The ordering process was excellent also. I would highly recommend Lamps Plus to everyone!!!!

Honest reviews on Cut Glass Urn With Brass Accents Table Lamp

Been looking for a couple additional lamps like these but for a bedside table, so the nightlight feature is important. I bought a couple at Home Depot years ago, they work fine, and now my Mom would like a pair for her house to put in her bedroom. I replaced the incandescent bulbs with colored LED bulbs in the base and compact fluorescent bulbs on top green LED & CFL for one and blue LED and CFL for the other as my wife believes in Feng Shui and green is "healthly" and blue is "peaceful".

The LED bulbs have lasted 7-8 years now, and cast beautiful patterns on the walls and ceilings through the cut glass base. Plus they don't bother me (always slept in the dark before getting married, but my Vietnamese wife always slept with a couple lights on in the bedroom). When your eyelids are closed, they filter out the blue and green colors, only let in reds and yellows as you can tell merely by closing your eyes in daylight and noting the color.

The LED bulbs provide plenty of light for dark-adapted eyes to navigate to the bathroom, or in my wife's case, spot 'ghosts' emerging from the closet :). I suppose ghosts are neither healthy nor peaceful..

Sounds crazy, but I had a "mid-century" door fabricated for a house just purchased. The house is 50+ years old. I installed this hardware on the door, and it looks so authentic, it adds a new "modern" twist to a "50's revival door. I really love the way it looks. In addition, the hardware is heavy, quality, smooth mechanism for opening door. It worked out perfectly. I was a little hesitant to use this type of hardware, I didn't think I'd like the latch (verses a knob), but it looks so good, and operates so smoothly, that I was pleasantly surprised. Highly recommend. Shipped quickly.

The finish had peeled on my front door exterior handle. I went to the Schlegel website and noted their products have a lifetime warranty for finish but you need a receipt. I had replaced all. My door hardware with Schlegel products years ago but had no receipt from Home Depot. I called Schlegel expecting to get a run around but their customer service rep surprised me and looked after my issue by shipping replacement hardware, no receipt was needed. They told me that they stand behind their products. Good job. Schlegel.

Be sure to check a return policy before ordering this item. The "frost amber" glass is quite a bit darker than it appears in the picture--more brownish. Otherwise it is okay and definitely more substantial than a $40 big-box store light fixture.

I use this lamp and one more just like it I bought at a retail store for light over my full size pool table. It's perfect height and extends beautifully of the table for perfect full lighting. The room the table was in has vaulted ceiling and no ceiling outlets so would have cost way too much to install ceiling lighting. Anyway it arrived in perfect shape and I paid 1/3 of the price for this lamp than the EXACT same lamp I bought in the store, luckily the store only had 1 so I looked on Amazon and was both shocked and excited at finding it there at the price I got.

This set of lights is exactly what I have been looking for and even at just six lights put out more light the eight of the other incandecent bulbs. A really easy installation when I marked a piece of 1 x 2 wood drilled holes for the bulbs and another for the mounting screw and then cut them out with my table saw. Each light is made to hook to the next one but there is a long cable, I think about 20 included. I have three on one side of my pergola and three on the other and the coverage is complete. Good buy

Review Update: The lights worked great for a week but three of them went out and they are now useless and it seems that there are no replacements. I just got a notice that the return deadline was yesterday. You get what you pay for and this is a poor product.

Installed my lights on some dark staris in my back yard on the 1st. They gave us the perfect light we were looking for. Just enough light for my crippled butt to keep from falling and keep my dog w/ Cataracts from running into the rail. However, on the 3rd the first light in the string quit. There was no rain, temp was 65-80° w/ humidity around 50-70%. Installed perfectly and easily with a gentle push into the hole. Like title states, cheap LED s. However install, appearance, amount of light and even the cheap drill bit (cut 6 holes in treated wood flawlessly) would have been 5/5 stars. Will update if return goes well.

Bought 3 sets of these and put them in my new deck / stairs. Attached them to the power source and 2 of the lights do not work. Should have listened to some of the other reviews where lights don't work and burn out pre-maturely. Contacted the manufacturer via their web site and got an automatic response that someone would be replying within 48 hours, 3 day now and no reply. Now I'm stuck with holes in the deck or buying another set as a spare? If you are looking to buy these I would test the lights before installing them or look at another product from a different manufacturer.
