The LE LED Puck lights feature a slim profile and wide viewing angle so they're well suited for mounting under most kitchen cabinets, shelves, countertops, and desks. They're easy to install, and touch-dimmable, so you can adjust the brightness of the lights as needed. The puck lights are best used in areas where you want subtle, natural accent lighting, such as under kitchen cabinets and shelves, and they give off a soft, warm white light that casts light in a wide, even pattern. The puck lights' brightness can be adjusted by touching the light, and the green light on the side of the puck makes it easy to tell which lights you're touching. The lights shine brightly and evenly from 10-30 feet away, and they give off very little heat, which makes them safe to use around food. They also come with a dimmer switch, so you can adjust the lights' brightness as needed. The puck lights' touch dimmer lets you set the light at 4 brightness levels, and the lights will automatically turn off after 5 minutes if they don't sense any movement. The puck lights come with a mounting bracket, a power adapter, and mounting hardware, and there's also a mounting template to help you install them. The puck lights are IP65-rated, which means they can withstand dust and water. The puck lights' LEDs are housed inside a clear, protective plastic cover, and the cover can be detached and hung on the wall.

The GE 16466 is a basic fluorescent under cabinet light, but it's a good one, and it's on sale for $10 right now. It's reasonably priced, it has a cool-white color temperature, and it has a lower lumen output than many of the other fixtures we tested, but it's plenty bright enough for most kitchen tasks. The bulb is included, and it has a 5-foot cord, so it's easy to install. The only drawback is that the fixture's plastic housing is flimsy and feels somewhat cheap, but it's easy to install and the lamp itself is well built. The fixture has on/off rocker switches, so you can control the light from far away. And it has adjustable feet, so you can level the fixture if necessary.

The GE Advantage 18 Inch Fluorescent Under Cabinet Light Fixture is a dimmable, fluorescent under cabinet light with the instant-on, flicker-free, no-humming ballast technology. It produces 1,000 lumens of light, which is equivalent to a 60-watt incandescent bulb. The bulbs are energy-efficient, and the light output is brighter than our former pick, the GE 18 Inch Fluorescent Under Cabinet Light. The lights run on 120VAC, and for installation, they come with 25 feet of 4-inch fluorescent wire, a 4-inch metal strip, and 16 feet of 2-inch wire. The installation is simple, as the light bar has built-in mounting hardware, and the light bar connects to the wire with 3 screws. The installation kit also includes a 15-watt fluorescent bulb. The lights have a metal housing, and the light output has a smooth, even distribution. The lights are direct wire, so for installation, you don't need to run an additional wire from a wall switch. The lights come with a one-year warranty.

The Linkable LED Under Cabinet Lights from Sunlite are the best of the inexpensive under cabinet lights we tested. They are easy to install, and they light a large area effectively. They required no assembly, and all the mounting hardware was included. The lights are bright enough to produce enough light for a functional work area, and they are very dim enough to use in a closet or bathroom. The lights work as advertised: when connected, the under cabinet lights can be daisy-chained together, or they can be spaced farther apart using the connector cord. The lights are bright enough, but they aren't bright enough to be used as task lighting. The Linkable LED Under Cabinet Lights are not dimmable, and they are not bright enough to be used as a night light. They are controlled by a toggle switch on the cord, and the switch is on the back of the light, so the light must be turned off before it can be turned on. The lights are moderately warm on the color spectrum, but the warm color tone doesn't bother us. The Linkable LED Under Cabinet Lights offer good value for your money.

This LED closet light from Senwin is easy to install and looks good. Its lights are bright enough to light up a small closet and enough light to read a book. The motion sensor works well and the light turns off automatically after 15 seconds when there is no motion detected. The cord is long enough to reach many places, and the remote is simple to use.

Baseus 42LED Wireless Under Cabinet Lighting is outstanding because of its bright, energy-efficient LEDs, its 80-degree adjustable neck, and its long-life battery. The fact that it's rechargeable via USB-C makes it highly flexible, and it's unnoticeable when it turns on, thanks to Baseus's 80-degree adjustable neck. The 42 LEDs deliver a bright, uniform light, and the 3000K is just the right color temperature for kitchens and offices. The dimmable touch control is very responsive, but the color- and temperature-setting buttons are a bit small and easy to hit accidentally. The 42 LEDs shine about 20 feet, which is not quite as bright as some of our top picks, but it's enough for most kitchen, bathroom, or closet lighting needs.

The LED Closet Light Motion Activated is one of the best motion sensor lights we've seen. It has a powerful light output, with a long 9-foot sensor range, and enough light that I could see what I was doing without stumbling around in the dark. The light turns on automatically in the dark, and stays on for 20 seconds after motion stops, so it's less likely to get left on by accident. The sensor works particularly well in the pantry and under cabinets, which tend to have more light than other areas. The lights also turn on automatically when you open a door, which is good if you're opening the pantry door to put food away, or you're stumbling around in a dark closet trying to find your clothing. The lights also have a daylight sensor, which automatically turns them on when it's sunny outside, and shuts them off when it's dark outside. It's nice to have this kind of automatic feature, since it means the lights won't turn on when you're not home, and they save energy in the process. There are also some nice additional features, such as a built-in timer, which turns the lights off after 30 minutes, and a memory function, which remembers your last settings. The lights also have a magnetic strip on the side, so you can easily mount them anywhere. The lights have a plastic construction, so they're a little fragile, but they manage to resist scratches and dents fairly well. The lights don't produce much heat, so they won't get too hot when you run them for a long time, and they turn off automatically after 20 seconds if no motion is detected. These lights work well and last a long time, and they're well priced, so they're a good choice for anyone looking for a motion sensor closet light.
