I pretty much specialize in installing kitchens. I don't care for the puck style in line or low voltage. Pucks tend to throw a crescent shaped light pattern on the backsplash wall. Don't like fluorescent as its too blue. The best light is known as a strip light. Looks like a rectangular box with lengthwise lens. Operate on line voltage and come in standard lengths, 10", 15", etc. They are made in halogen which is a nice light color but the fixtures get quite hot. Sometimes hot enough to warm the contents in the cabinetry its attached to. I recommend the same style lighting with Xenon bulbs. Much much cooler operation. They usually have a high and low output setting. I don't care for Home Creepo or Lowes product for this stuff. Try a real electrical supply shop. The quality will be better. RT
