Under cabinet lighting temperature?
Any one have articles on under cabinet lighting types and requirements. I have a situation were the lights are high intesity type that are hot to the touch. After a few minutes on I turn off and measured 135 - 155 degrees f on the under side of the wood surface surrounding the light fixture. I wrote up a fire hazard.

Re: Under cabinet lighting temperature?
Who manufactures them and what does the manufacturer have to say about this type of installation? Are they designed for this use?

Re: Under cabinet lighting temperature?
All kinds of inexpensive LED lights (puck and bar types) made specifically for under cabinet use. Battery powered, last about 10,000 hrs on a set of batteries. Available everywhere, even for those who are not boycotting Walmart.
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill
