New Lights Under Kitchen Cabinets

A couple of years ago we installed lights under the kitchen cabinets,that were rectangular, boxy and halogens. We don't recommend getting them because they get very hot in a short time. So, this weekend, we found small rectangular strips of LED lights at Lowes and Tom installed them.  Unlike the boxy halogen lights, the LED strip of lights can't be seen under the lip of the cabinet (unless you look underneath the cabinet to take a picture like I did). The LED lights also cast a brighter and more uniform light, so it's easier to see things on the countertops. We recommend using the LED lights.
