Ansen Hardwired Under-Cabinet LED Lighting — 12in Dimmable (4-Pack)
Product description
What’s included and construction
This offering is a set of four 12-inch under-cabinet LED fixtures. Each unit has an aluminum-alloy frame with plastic end caps and an integrated LED board. Power rating is 10 watts per fixture with an output of about 666.7 lumens running on 120 volts.
Optical and color performance
The lamps use an anti-glare optical design rated UGR92 to reduce direct glare and improve visual comfort. Color rendering is high, with R9 values above 90 for truer reds and better overall color fidelity. Each fixture supports five selectable color temperatures (2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, 5000K) so you can choose soft warm tones or cool daylight hues.
Controls and compatibility
Every fixture includes a built-in on/off switch and provides smooth dimming from 100% down to about 5% when paired with compatible LED dimmers. Note that LED dimmers and ROMEX wiring are not included; compatibility with dimmers varies so test with your dimmer model if you need very low-level dimming.
Installation and linking
Mounting is designed to be simple: screw each light to the underside of a cabinet or shelf. The fixtures can be daisy-chained to power multiple units from one feed using standard ROMEX cable, allowing runs across counters, bookcases, or display cases. This makes them suitable for kitchens, wine cabinets, bookcases, wardrobes, shelving, closets, cupboards, garages, storerooms, pantries, basements, stairs and hallways, improving task lighting and overall visual quality in work areas.
Pros
- High color accuracy (R9>90) and anti-glare optics
- Five selectable color temperatures (2700K–5000K)
- Linkable hardwired design for continuous runs
Cons
- Hardwiring may require an electrician if no existing wiring
- Adhesive mounting can fail — screws recommended
- Some dimmers cause flicker at very low settings
VerdictThese hardwired 12in LED fixtures deliver strong, adjustable illumination with high color fidelity and a low-profile design. The five-temperature settings and high R9 value make them versatile for food prep and display areas. Installation is straightforward if you have wiring in place, but linking and hardwiring may require an electrician for those unfamiliar with household cable. Adhesive mountin

Flexible wiring and adjustable color
Accepts standard 14/2 Romex so I wired outlets to control them from my kitchen switch. No glare with a valence and 4000K suits my kitchen perfectly.

Sleeker than old fluorescents

Mostly pleased, some issues
They deliver the look and light I wanted, but the double-sided tape didn't hold so I used the supplied screws. Heavy dimming sometimes produced flicker.
