Kitchen and Bath Undercabinet Products: Counter Intelligence

For decades, incandescent (especially halogen and xenon) light sources dominated the undercabinet lighting market. Fluorescent versions made some inroads because they last longer and are more energy-efficient, but now LED is fast-becoming the leader with its low heat, no UV, no mercury, and super-bright illumination. Best of all, many new models eliminate the problem of seeing pinpoints of light reflected onto shiny granite countertops.
