Good Design, Solid Construction
I initially bought a set of 3 pucks, as a complete packaged item, just to be sure that they were a quality product and would meet our need for lighting in kitchen, display, and china cabinets. The test was a success and I have since ordered more for the entire lighting setup. I opted to core drill 2-3/8 inch holes in the tops of the cabinets to flush mount the lights as I had the means to hide the wiring in a cavity above the cabinets. I also direct wired the lights to a 120-volt source. It is not necessary to purchase the manufacturer's junction box for direct wiring unless you wish to mount their junction box in an accessible location and take advantage of the box's built-in power switch. If you have another means of switching the power to the light strings, you can just cut off their plug on the furnished power cord and direct wire to your power supply inside a junction or switch box. Just make sure you get the neutral and hot wires matched up correctly for proper electrical polarity. The neutral line has ribs on the side of the power supply cord, the hot has smooth insulation. Neutral goes to the white wire, hot goes to the black wire of your power supply.Good quality manufacturing in the items all around. The puck collars, which I didn't use, are of solid heavy construction, with notches to accommodate surface mounted wiring. The wire terminations are well made and solid as well, with good additional insulation and reinforcing at the connection point to the lights. The pucks fit snug and tight in the 2-3/8 inch holes I drilled into the cabinet plywood.It is worth your time to measure carefully between desired light locations. Each puck comes with two 12-inch wire tails for connecting to adjacent pucks in a series, except the terminal puck which has only one tail, also 12-inches long. I discovered that the lights in a string will not come on unless the terminal puck is connected. If you buy a package of three pucks, you also get two 12-inch long connector wires. This allows you to mount the pucks of a 3-pack nominally 36-inches apart, although that might be stretching things too tight. You probably should consider buying optional longer connector cords if your spacing is greater than 30-inches. Buying optional single pucks allows you to string more than three pucks together in a string. The manufacturer says you can string as many as 20 pucks together. I didn't do more than four, but that worked fine. The 2700K color is nice. The light is fairly bright for lighting a display cabinet, but not too bright for us.

Great product AND service.
I purchased 6 3-light sets to install under the cabinets in our kitchen and dining room. I've been searching for suitable LED lights with an incandescent-like color, instead of the cold, blue, high-temp flourescent-look of most LEDs. Theses lights are the answer for us. Their color is similar to halogen bulbs, but with high light and low heat output. Installation worked well. I installed them at 18" intervals as recessed lights in a 1x4 I mounted to the cabinet bottoms. All are connected to a wall dimmer/switch. This works well for both ambiance and task lighting. (For years I thought I'd eventually use LED light strips but that never worked out. To get a reasonable color, I'd need to have two strips in parallel: one RGBWW and one red. Experimenting with that created a workable color, but also a stupid looking reflection in our shiny quartz counter tops. We saw nothing but rows of red and white dots!) So, we're quite happy with these lights. AND, we're happy with the service from GetInLight. After a couple of months of use, we found that one of the pucks was dim compared to the rest. We emailed the vendor with a description of our problem. "Chris" quickly responded with a question or two. As soon as I replied they sent a replacement and even followed up to ensure that I had received it and it worked well. We have recommended these lights to friends that have seen them in our home. And we WOULD purchase them again. Note: we initially used a Feit brand LED dimmer switch, but it caused irritating flickering. We switch to a Lutron Maestro 150W dimmer that solved the flickering problem.

I had 16 of these lights installed and have replaced 9 as they stopped fuctioning after 1-2 years.
I like the fact that I can replace the light easily and do it by leaving up the housing if not for that I would just buy a different brand. They claim to be warrantee but the electrician who installed them never received a response.I had 16 of these lights installed and have replaced 9 as they stopped fuctioning after 1-2 years. I put the system on a dimmer switch which has slowed down the failures

Exceptionally well-designed under counter lights
These under-counter puck lights are exceptionally well designed and relatively easy to install even for an old guy like me. What I really appreciated was that there was no step down transformer or other electronic tricks. These are straight 120 volt LED lights. The soft white light is more than adequate for any under-counter application. I replaced a set of four under-counter halogen lights which have been a PITA to deal with since installed, with three of these. In my case, I hard-wired them into the existing dimable light switch. Just cut off the in-line on-off switch, strip the ends, and wire it directly into the switch with orange wire nuts. I do recommend using regular cable holders to keep the connecting wires up and hidden - the kind that loop over the cable and are held in place with a small screw. Also, you can use double-sided tape to hold the base plate in place for marking and drilling the holes to mount the base plates. I have three other sets of under-counter halogen lights in my house and plan to replace all of them with these.
