Title: What Are the Best Certified Under Cabinet Lights for Kitchen Safety?

The short answer: It depends on your market.

Here's what you actually need to know 👇

For the US market

Most people look for UL or ETL certification. But if your light itself isn't fully certified, you can still build a safe system with:

A UL-certified 12V adapter

UL-certified wiring

This is common for low‑voltage DIY projects.

For the EU market

The key requirements are CE and RoHS – not UL.

Most low‑voltage (12V) cabinet lights in Europe use CE‑marked adapters, even if the light strip itself isn't fully certified. That's standard practice.

What we offer

Our ultra‑thin LED cabinet lights (12V, customizable length):

Light strip: not UL or TÜV certified

Adapter: UL for US / CE for EU

Wire: certified accordingly

✅ Safe for home use ✅ Affordable ✅ Works for both markets

⚠️ If your local code requires full fixture certification, please check with your electrician first.

Title: Do rechargeable under cabinet lights really last long? 💡

The short answer: Not as long as you might hope. But here's the truth.

🔋 1. Battery life per charge

Most standard rechargeable cabinet lights last 2–6 hours on a full charge.

2–3 hours → basic models (300–500mAh battery)

4–6 hours → mid-range models (600–1000mAh battery)

8+ hours → high-end models (1500mAh+, rare and more expensive)

Reality check: Most budget lights on Amazon or Temu use 500mAh batteries. That's about 2–3 hours of actual use.

⏳ 2. Total lifespan of the light

In real-world use, most rechargeable cabinet lights last 1–2 years before the battery degrades noticeably.

After 6–12 months, runtime may drop by 20–30%

After 1–2 years, many users replace the whole light

The LED itself can last longer, but the battery is always the weak point

🔁 3. Battery replacement

Most budget lights have non-replaceable batteries. When the battery dies, you throw away the whole light. Some better brands offer replaceable batteries, but they cost more.

✅ How to make yours last longer

Don't leave them on max brightness for hours every day

Charge before they completely die (don't drain to zero every time)

Don't leave them on 24/7 – use motion sensor or turn off manually

Avoid heat and humidity

Bottom line (honest version)

A typical rechargeable cabinet light:

🔋 Lasts 2–6 hours per charge (most are on the lower side)

⏳ Lasts 1–2 years before battery gets weak

💰 Costs little, so many people just buy a new one when it dies

Are they worth it? Yes for convenience. No for long-term durability. If you need reliable, long-lasting light, go with hardwired. If you want cordless convenience, just accept that the battery won't last forever 👍

Title: Can under cabinet LED lights be dimmed? 💡

The short answer: Yes, but not all of them.

Here’s what you need to know before buying 👇

🔹 Check if the light is dimmable Not all LED under cabinet lights are dimmable. Look for "dimmable" on the product spec or packaging.

🔹 Use a compatible dimmer Regular dimmers may not work. You often need an LED-compatible dimmer or a trialuminos dimmer (for 12V/24V systems).

🔹 Magnetic or sensor lights? Most rechargeable / motion sensor cabinet lights are NOT dimmable unless stated.

🔹 Hardwired vs plug-in Hardwired LED strip lights are usually dimmable with the right dimmer switch. Plug-in versions may come with a dimmer on the cord.

👉 Pro tip: If dimming is important for your kitchen or display cabinets, always confirm with the seller before buying.
