Composite shower and under-cabinet lighting generate the most reader interest The following product was the most popular in December on QualifedRemodeler.com: i-LIGHTING ILUMA UNDER-CABINET LIGHTING New iluma under-cabinet lighting is designed with i-Lighting's proprietary LED Lighting Simplifed connection technology. Each system's Easy Plug micro connectors plug together to ensure easy installations, which can be achieved in half the time of traditional lighting. Te LEDs can operate at temperatures from -40 to 255.2 F, which makes them durable enough to be able to be installed inside a range hood. Te lighting is available in 10mm strips, which are suitable for task lighting applications performed on countertops. Te 5mm strips can be placed as accent lighting on toe kicks, shelving, display cases and overhangs. Other products in the family include the indoor power supply, push button dimmer and easy plug connector cable. Te 10mm product pulls 3 watts per foot of light, and the 5mm pulls 1.6 watts per foot. Each size is available in clear white, which has a Kelvin rating of 4,500, or warm yellow, which has a Kelvin rating of 3,200. Te lights use approximately 80 percent less energy than incan- descent bulbs and are rated for 12-plus years of operation if used 24/7. For more information, visit ilighting.co or circle 46.
