Lightweight, flimsy mounting bracket
Satisfied and it seems to be what we needed at that location. Relatively easy install. Hiding the wire takes some planning.Just installed, hopefully, it will be durable and not fall off?? Would give 5 stars except for the problem with the mounting brackets, seen at the blue arrow in the pic. Their grasp of the light is unreliable; causing the light to fall off when handled (turn on/off by touch). Otherwise, it's just fine. It is very lightweight, literally; and made of light-weight materials (aluminum body). Maybe it will last long term.So, before mounting, I squeezed the brackets slightly (bent them inward) to increase the grasping tension. Pretty simple solution; we'll see how it works. If so, it is a simple mounting procedure (but not "just a few seconds, as the description states). I mounted it with 3M double-stick tape (provided) and that seems to hold the brackets on the cabinet. Also, screws are provided, if preferred.Turns on/off easily simply by touching the light for about 1/2 second. It's installed above a 2' counter and for a small area, the Brightness is about right. Face it, 205 lumens is not bright. There are brighter ones available at more cost.The mounting brackets have a hole in one side. Inserting a small screwdriver into there will spread the bracket and that will detach the light body from the mounting brackets if needed. Mfg. should point out that info in the skimpy instructions provided.After you've figured out how you are going to mount the brackets; yes, that part does mount in a minute or so using the 3M tape. Complete install actually will take about 10-20 minutes, if all the tools and materials are on hand. Be sure to crimp (squeeze slightly by hand) the brackets so they more firmly grasp the sides of the light body. You should hide the wire with cable clamps, staples, etc.Comments/questions that I saw. It has a 5' wire plug-in. Note, the light is 12 V. so the plug cannot be removed to hardwire. The wire is very fine and would not be too noticeable - it needs to run down the wall to the nearest electrical outlet.It is used every morning while having breakfast, etc. Have used it now for 7 months and it works perfectly - does not turn on or off spontaneously; does not flicker, it turns on and off easily. Some said that it doesn't turn off. The aluminum sides need to be touched for a brief 1/2 second. Just a light tap may not turn it on/off. I find the best technique is to gently squeeze the light between thumb and middle finger; otherwise, side force will pull it loose from the mounting brackets.I pulled it off from the mounting brackets. 1) the 3M tape is super strong, I could not pull the brackets off (mounted on painted wood). So that's good. 2) upon remounting to the brackets, I had a difficult time getting one of the brackets to grasp the light. I squeezed it together more and eventually, it held. Recommend mounting the brackets about an inch from the ends. That enabled sliding into the good bracket after resolving the problem with the weaker one. 3) I'm skeptical that the flimsy attachment to the brackets will fail. To "Corporate" you need to redesign to make a stronger grip of the brackets to the side of the housing. Would give a 5 star, if not for that design flaw.The adapter states: "CONFORMS TO UL STD 1310" Also the Symbol FC (which actually is FCCC) is a U.S. standard for Power Banks (the adapter). Looks like it's certified?The adapter States Input 100-240 V; 0.5A max and Output 12V + 1.0A. The User Manual states Wattage: Max 4.1W.

Nice Light
Nice light. Double sticky tape does not work well.

Very bright, as expected, Missing clip
Love that the light is very bright However, missing 1 of 6 clips for mounting (not trusting tape to hold it, even though it is lightweight) Only option is to return it!!?? For 1 clip; disappointed!!

Wonderful light under cabinets
You only have to touch the light to turn it on and off. The extension cord was definitely needed, so we're glad we purchased it.

Diffuser lens falls off. Touch controls are subpar.
I keep a bin of unused electronics. Plugs, adapters, wires, connectors, general items stowed in case of a future need. It took less than a week for these to go into that bin. Quality is generally poor. On one of my two lights, the diffuser lens constantly fell off. The light is in direct line of sight and looking at naked LED's is not acceptable. My other gripe is the touch function. I powered these lights from a switched outlet with the intent that I could flip the switch and light up the area of use. Not so much. The lights have a touch function that powers the light on and off. That would be OK if there was a certain sector where this was done but the entire housing responds which results in the light being switched unintentionally. That was it for me and I just pulled them down and threw them in my bin. Not worth the effort to return. There should have been a selectable switch to choose between touch mode and on when plugged in. Then I could just use my switched outlet the way I intended. I do not recommend these lights. Find something better.

ALMOST PERFECT!
This was perfect sized, lightweight, and the light it casts is beautiful! The only bad thing..the 'stickies' they provide do not hold, and I didn't want to drill into my cabinets, SOOO I used 'Alien Tape' (if you have never used it, you need to!) and also used that to secure the cord out of the way. WE LOVE IT! Great value, great light cast!

Better than battery operated versions
Like the fact that it had a plug in power adapter, had no on-off switch, and had a small plug at the connection end which could fit through the small hole which I drilled from the top of the shelf down to the shelf underside where the light bar was attached. No need to change batteries like other models, and it is a good strong and even light source.Installation with the screws was a bit of a challenge. The supplied awl can be used to start holes for the screws, but ended up having to make better holes with a drill bit. The two screws were very tiny, difficult to handle, and easy to lose. (Used a magnet to find one which fell into the carpet.) Would be good if a couple of extra screws were supplied in case needed. Also hard to place the screws into the shelf underside with the supplied screwdriver. Ended up using masking tape to keep them in place on the tip of the screwdriver so they would stay fixed long enough to insert them into the pre-drilled holes. It also helped to pinch the two brackets just a bit so that the light bar would remain firmly in place when installed.A very nice light once finally installed...

Brightens up my food prep area.
Needed to move closer than wanted. Thought it would illuminate the corner of my countertop, but not bright enough, so I had to put it directly above where I prep my food.Works great, would have been nice to have some cable management pieces for under the cupboards.
