Hi all,

I will be remodeling my kitchen, and want to install under cabinet
ligts. I am pretty much settled on xenon, and looking at WAC.

It appears that they have both low- and line voltage xenon bars, and
low voltage seems to have integral transformer, so it looks like they
still have to be connected to 120 V (but require low-voltage dimmer,
if I want one).

Low voltage seem to be a little more expensive, and I assume may
require more maintanence (if a transformer dies)

Are there any reasons to get low voltage bars instead of line voltage?

Are there any reasons why I need to look at another manufacturer (like
CSL, Kichler, etc.)?

Thanks for any advise.

Arkadiy

You should be doing LED, not xenon. If you don't like LED, then do
fluorescent.
