EShine Hand Wave Activated Under Cabinet LED Lighting Kit, Dimmable, 12-Pack 12 in - Touchless Dimming Control, Black Under Counter Lights for Kitchen, Garage, Office, Desk - Cool White (6000K)

We have an "L" shaped kitchen with two areas where, when standing in front of the under-cabinet countertops, my own shadow almost entirely blocks out the the light from the ceiling mounted 48" fluorescents-in-a-box-with-a-plastic-lens. When we first moved in it seemed the only solution was to install four--one in one area and three in the other area--under-cabinet halogen fixtures. That worked leaving only two problems: One, the backs of my wife's hands suffered sunburn and two, cold food on the countertop became warm food within 20 minutes. We opted for the halogen lamps not because we wanted sunburned knuckles or warm food but rather back in those days eight inch fluorescents didn't provide any useful light. Well, really the halogen gave us three problems: The carrier for the halogens seemed to have been designed for use on a battleship as they were large, operating-room white and therefore pretty much ugly. Then, there was lamp cord running to 110v outlets. Functional but not so beautiful.My wife got used to the burned knuckles, warm food and ugliness (sorta) but then one day--thank heavens--a lamp burned out prompting me to look on Amazon (really, where else would I look?) not for a replacement lamp but for replacement fixtures. Oh, there are so many; it was hard to choose. Because of less heat--which means a lot less electricity use--and a much more compact design, the only possible solution was going to be LED's. Yeah, but that still left a whole lot from which to choose.Then I found what I believe to be the only brand which included not only "wave your hand to turn on or off" but also "hold your hand under the "switch" and either dim or brighten the LEDs." Neat! And, they were so sleek and clean, they'd be all but invisible when looking at the area... what a great solution to getting rid of ugliness. Oh, one more thing: These countertops are work areas and therefore "daylight" lighting (6,000° Kelvin... pretty close to sunlight as opposed to kinda yellow light) would work best. So, I ordered one 20" eShine panel and one kit of four almost 12" panels, 6,000° K. Two days later I was holding them up trying to figure out how they'd look and how best to attach them to the bottom of the cabinets.The included instructions were clear and useful. The connectors and the over all design and manufacture of each component was obviously triple A quality. The inter-panel connectors came in both a "solid" strip, i.e., one continuous strip version and in a-chain-each-panel-by-wire (each about 36") version. And, I could attach the panels by screws (supplied) or by two sided (3M, no less) tape (supplied). There was even a goodly number of stick-up cable managers, supplied. eShine thought of everything; perfect!I attached all five panels using screws. Putting up all five panels took me about 90 minutes (I tend to be both slow and careful having graduated from the Measure Twice, Cut Once School) but that includes taking down the old fixtures and taking then out to the landfill can, aka. the trash can. Sad. Very.The finished job looks great. The fixtures work great and they cast truly excellent light. A perfect solution. I am very pleased... so's my wife and, around here, that really matters. These eShine panels get at least eight stars, for sure.(Notes: Hard to get a good image. The lights overexpose the image. What actually shows is aluminum but what you see here is reflected cabinet color. One image tries to demonstrate 6,000°K.)

I’ve had this for quite a while now, almost forgot when I installed it. Super convenient when making my morning coffee in the dark, I just wave my hand under the door knob (where I located the motion sensor and the light switches on. Keep my hand still for a moment and then the light dims.I connected three in a row and have a couple spares.Perfect for those dimly lit cabinet counters and its functional and stylish. BESIDES MY WIFE LOVES IT and that’s all that matters!

The lights were easy to install and provided great light. The adjustable brightness was a bonus. At the 2 year mark, the lights stopped working. The first segment that has the motion sensor it it had died. I contacted support, described the problem, and got a response within 24 hours. Support asked a couple of questions and then offered to send a new unit. Very quick, very professional, no pushback at all. Very happy,

I installed this a few days ago. Installation is pretty easy and the lights are nice and bright.Overall I'm pretty satisfied with this product.A couple things that IMO would make this product better would be to either provide longer power cables or to add a second power output jack to the main light with the IR sensor. Currently, the IR sensor has to be the first light in the chain which really limit how you can arrange the lights. If you have a row of cabinets, you can't arrange it to make the IR sensor in the middle cabinet, it has to be in the installed under one of the end cabinets which kinda sucks.In my case, I installed the main light w/ IR sensor under the microwave then connected the rest of the lights under the cabinets going to the right...I have another cabinet to the left of the microwave that I wasn't able to install the light because the power cables provided aren't long enough. It still works for me since I put a toaster oven there so it doesn't look so weird.Another thing is to make the detection range of the IR sensor further. I think your hand has to be as close as 3 or 4 inches before it's detected by the sensor.

These lights are great. They have the most convenient switching method I've found, I don't mind the lack of dimming as they are just the right brightness, and the warm white color temperature is very pleasant. They make a huge difference for working in the kitchen, as you will no longer block a ceiling light with your body. It creates a really nice uplifting atmosphere in the kitchen in the middle of winter. I have all of my counter top surfaces lit up, as well as my sink and stove top with a total of seven light strips (one of which is the longer one) on three separate AC adapters. It's a pretty energy efficient way to light a kitchen, especially since I can switch off subsets of them so quickly and easily. The kit for routing the cables and installing the lights is easy to use and works very well, with plenty of cable to reach between cabinets. The main adhesive strips are a bit too effective, and make it extremely difficult to remove the lights if you use the whole strip, so I just cut a couple of very small pieces (about 1/2" long) off of it for each light. They have been very reliable. I had purchased a tap operated light with dimming which failed on me, but these seem to be in it for the long haul. My only gripe for these is that the IR switch light can only have the power adapter cable attached on one side, which can be inconvenient for some cabinet/outlet arrangements. I would have liked it to plug in to the left side, but thankfully there was enough cable to go the extra distance from both sides. They would make great closet lighting, and could be rigged such that closing the door would shut off the light.

The EShine handwave activated under cabinet lighting is a excellent product. The handwave dimmable sensor works extremely well and each stage of lighting power casts a warm glow. It gives you the option of using connectors to join the lights together or cords, which allows you to tailor distances between lights. You can also use screws or the tape provided to mount the lights. The best part of the product is its simplicity because there no large switches or remote sensors. It is one simple plug in leading to the lights which allows you to conceal it well in tight spaces.

Very fast delivery and exactly as described. Our kitchen cabinets have always been a source of inadequate light when working near the corners. Thought we would give these led lights a try. Wow, what a difference. My wife loves them and we wish that we would have purchased them sooner. They were very easy to install although I did have to run a little extra wiring to get overtop of the sink area it was still a simple job. Everything needed was supplied with the light kit. Love how there was no hardwiring to have to contend with and that they work exactly as described. Nice bright light (bought the cool light product) and easily dimmed at night for a nice ambiance lighting. Overall, very pleased and would highly recommend.

Easy to install, plug and play. Used the screws rather than tape and it worked very well. Could be a bit brighter though.

Liked the ease in installation however, I figured out why everyone said be careful about placement. We assumed it meant that the light stripes needed to be 4 inches away from walls, or any other hard surface. What they should have said is watch for the tiny little notice on the light stripe that has the sensor which tells you which direction to place the first light. Failure to do that correctly just means the light will not dim or turn off at the wave of a hand, you'll have to unplug it. Oh well, live and learn. I still love the daylight colour of the lights, brightens my kitchen completely.

The product is light weight and install is quick and easy. There are times that the motion detector does not pick up right away and I need to make a pass several times. Other then that small issue, I am very glad that I selected this product, it adds a finishing touch to my kitchen work area and the light is lovely.
