Best Under Cabinet Lighting

Brilliant Evolution BRRC135 is as brilliant as advertised. The six 55-lumen LED lamps are really bright (although not necessarily always as bright as described). The 3000K LEDs give off that warm white glow that's both attractive and pleasant.

Of course, we've seen these numbers before. That's not necessarily what sells this product. What sells the product is controls.

The IR remote that comes supplied with the package will let you control the lights from 15 feet away. Naturally, you'll be able to use the remote to turn the lights on and off (you can do that via lens tapping too).

The difference here is that the remote will also let you choose the lights' brightness. You can use the preset dimmer buttons to switch between 50% and 100% brightness. You can also use the "+" and "-" buttons to select the exact brightness level.

Apart from that, the remote will also let you access the optional timer that automatically turns the lights off in 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes.

The lights run on AA batteries. They don't burn through these batteries as fast as other LEDs do. At 100% brightness, the batteries last for 100 hours minimum.

In other words, Brilliant Evolution BRRC135 is the best lighting setup on this list. These dimmable lamps with remote aren't the brightest but the controls more than make up for the LEDs' relative shortcomings in other departments.

HIBOITEC HB002B are the brightest. These three undercounter LED lamps pack 160 lumens per lamp.

Needless to say, you'll be able to put them anywhere without worrying about sufficient lighting.

Plus, there are two ways you can set these things up. You can use the magnets on the lamps' back to stick them to any iron item around the house. You can also use the orthodox adhesive tape approach (the tape comes supplied with the package).

You will not have to worry about replacing the batteries every few months too. Equipped with built-in rechargeable batteries (1000 mAh), these lamps will save you from the inconvenience that is swapping dead batteries for new ones.

The only issue here is that the package includes only one USB charging cable, so you'll have to purchase two extra cables separately or charge these lamps one by one.

Having said that, you won't have to charge these lamps all that often. One full charge will give you eight hours under the regular on mode and 1-2 months under the motion sensor mode. Plus, the LEDs themselves last for 60,000 hours, so you won't be replacing them anytime soon.

Bottom line, these pure white (6000 - 6500 K) LED lamps will be able to light up any setting. They're more than suitable for cabinets, closets, stairwells, basements, indoor garages, and more.

Brilliant Evolution BRRC116 keeps things simple and affordable. What we're dealing with here is one LED light bar. The LEDs in the lamp are as long-lasting as these things usually are. The bar is less than one inch thick, so you'll be able to install this lamp practically anywhere. You can use the screws and/or adhesive tape (both come supplied with the package).

The low-profile lamp runs on batteries. You'll need three standard AA batteries to use this under cabinet lighting bar.

The biggest problem we have with the product is that these batteries don't come with the package, so you'll have to purchase them separately. Of course, the problem is easily solvable since you can buy those at any convenience store or order online separately from the lamp.

As far as the lighting part is concerned, the 65-lumen lamp is more than bright enough for most settings. Its warm white (3000 K) light looks/feels really nice and doesn't strain your eyes. As per usual, you'll have to tap the lens to turn the lamp on/off.

In short, Brilliant Evolution BRRC116 is the most unassuming/traditional solution on this list, and we've no problems with that. The super-slim design will make sure the lamp doesn't stand too much out and ruin your kitchen setting.

Litever LL-008-6W is that under cabinet lighting kit that will let you make any corner as lit as you want. You can set these six slim LED bars anywhere you want, from kitchen cabinets and counters to any place under the shelf, bookcase, closet, and so on.

The self-adhesive taps will have no issues keeping these bars mounted for years to come. At the same time, you can use the supplied screws too.

What we especially like about this kit are these extension cables that let you install the lights in barely accessible places. The package includes tie mounts and wire clips that you can use to hide these cables and make that setup as nice-looking as you want.

It might take you some time to set all these things up but, as far as we're concerned, the reward will be worth the effort.

The aluminum PCB with thermal paste ensures excellent heat dissipation and extends the LEDs' lifespan.

Other than that, these lamps distribute soft pure white (5000 K) light. You won't have to deal with any LED dots/glaring issues. Plus, you can use the rotary in-line dimmer to adjust the light's brightness anywhere between 0 and 100%.

Bottom line, the Litever LL-008-6W under cabinet lighting kit puts you in charge. You'll be the one choosing the brightness. You'll be the one choosing where to put these things. The options are practically limitless.

WOBANE CL02-2700 is the most flexible kit on this list. You'll be able to install these four LED strips anywhere you want.

The three "U-style" connectors and three extension connectors that come supplied with the package will let you access any corner. Kitchen islands, workbenches, desk hutches, bookshelves, wardrobes, cabinets, bedrooms, pretty much any place is fair game here.

You probably wouldn't think so but the LEDs here are ridiculously bright. Featuring 275 lumens per strip, you'll be able to use these things to light up any place/space around the house.

The only limitation that these LED strips pose is that you shouldn't install them in humid settings (the circuits aren't moisture-resistant enough).

Apart from that, the aforementioned "U-style" connectors and extension connectors are strong, super-thin, plenty flexible. There's practically no place where you cannot put them.

The supplied 4.9-feet power cable won't limit your options too. Plus, the included adhesive tape is really strong and durable, so you won't have to worry about setting these strips somewhere up above.

In closing, WOBANE CL02-2700 LEDs feature 80+ high CRI (Color Rendering Index), meaning that these lights reproduce colors accurately and pleasantly. Plus, the strips are cool to the touch, so you won't have to worry about any unpleasant encounters that kids and/or pets will likely have with these things.
