We don’t even have a kitchen lighting category after 7 years here at Kitchen Contraptions, yet lighting in our kitchen has been a constant thing on our minds. We recently replaced our flood lights with LEDs so we have been now looking to get those same lower watt savings in our under cabinet lights.

The CounterMax MX-LD Collection led discs mount easily under any cabinet and can link up to 30 discs without additional hardware using MXInterLink2. The LED disc uses only 1.7 watts (our flood lights use 10.5 watts versus our the older 65 watt per), and each kit includes three light down lighting pucks.

We’re going to see if these fit the bill, and also look out for other under cabinet solutions. What’s interesting is you could get 10 of these kits and string them together making a pretty good run at one side of our kitchen and the other using about 10 kits.

I took 800+ pictures (I’m a little obsessive when I go to a design show) so the ones I show in this collection are those that truly spoke to me and which I feel are worthy to share. Also, take a look at the products that I will be entering in an ongoing basis in our New Products section. You may also find some connections to my previous post on KBIS trends. Enjoy the eye candy!!

And don’t miss my post in the fabulous blog, Design Milk!
