Undercab LED Tubelites!
Nothing ads that final show-home look to kitchen and other home cabinetry like unseen, undercab lighting. The only problem with traditional
"puck" style undercabinet lighting is that those little fixtures can generate a lot of heat, and if you have a kitchen full of them,
you could be heating your kitchen by as much as 5 degrees without even knowing it. That added heat means you are now spending more energy
and money keeping your house cool during the warm season.
If you happen to live in California, any new construction has to adhere to the Title 24 energy code. Title 24 Section 150(k) states that,
"Permanently installed luminaires (light fixtures) shall be high efficacy luminares..." So installing energy efficient technologies like LED lighting
in not only your kitchen, but also as closet lighting, cove lighting, or even garage lighting, can help your home abide by the latest energy
standards, which may find their way into other states as well in the coming years.
Now consider a new product offered by City Wholesale Electric - LED Undercab Tubelites. These nifty lamps come in 1ft, 2ft, 3ft, and 4ft
links, and can be chained (interconnected) for a maximum length of 8 feet. The linking is very easy, you just plug the end of one into
the other. Also, you have 4 "color" choices, from Cool White to Warm White (2800K - 5500K).
The home user, DIY type will like the fact that these can be installed with just 2 screws/anchors, and powered by a wall-plug DC adaptor, while
the contractor can install and power these via a 20W or 40W constant voltage (hardwired) power supply.

LED Efficiency
Currently, LED light sources are up to 50% efficient (60% in lab conditions), while common incandescent
lighting runs at a pathetic 5% efficiency! Even your CFL lamps which many people are using to replace their
old incandescent lamps are only between 15%-25%.
Initial purchase cost is still high for the LED bulbs, but give them time and they will be as cheap as the
compact fluorescent lamps being sold at mega-chains like Wal_Mart.
