Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-03-31 Summary: Perfect solution ... I wanted a dimmer for my under cabinet kitchen lights. I gave this one a try because it received great reviews. I love it! I attached the tap pad to the bottom of my cabinet, and it holds in place securely. The dimmer provides 4 different light levels. The first is very dim, so we usually keeps our on the 2nd for atmosphere and 3rd or 4th for useable light. It is cool looking, works great, I am a happy customer. ;) ...more

[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-05-03 Summary: Works well, had to replace one ... We have been using three of these dimmers for about six years on a daily basis with lights under our kitchen cabinets. Recently I had to replace the transformer/controller on one of them, which required mounting the replacements from the kit and re-threading the wires. Overall, very satisfied with the product. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | This handy, low-profile dimmer switch may be used with Good Earth Lighting's halogen or incandescent lighting systems. The G9100 gives you four lighting levels with the touch of a finger. While there is some assembly required--you'll need wire strippers and cutters and perhaps a stepladder--the process is straightforward. The included instructions make the process clear (despite many glaring typos): just trim the plug cord to the desired length, attach it to the plug, then mount the dimmer...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-07 Summary: About to buy another one ... Very satisfied! Yes, you do have to be a bit careful about the threads during assembly. But that is probably true of any similar light system, including some that cost four times more and work not as well. The brightness, the dimmer, and the clean, unpretentious aesthetics of the light, all exceeded my expectations. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-10 Summary: A very good value ... I ordered two to start with and after assembling them, I ordered another set for my parents. The assembly is reasonably easy, but be careful not to force things. Of course the light is a cooler color than a 300W halogen light that we have, but it works very well and saves a lot of energy. The dimmer range is quite reasonable as well, but you can't dim it as far you I could with the halogen lamp. I would certainly recommend this lamp to others. ...more

[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-06 Summary: Easy to install ... I replace 4 bulb fixture with this. It is very easy to install, but you have to prepare your own screw and bolt. Little bit darker than expected but I believe it will be bright if I switch to other bulb. It took me 30 minute to install including taking old one down. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-11-24 Summary: Excellent Value ... The ballast in my old fixture melted. I took one look at the ball of wires coming from it and decided that I didn't want to tackle replacing it. This fixture solved my problem handily at a price little more than the cost of a replacement ballast alone. Installation took about fifteen minutes. No mounting hardware comes with the fixture. In my case, I needed two wood screws to attach it to a plywood soffit. A word to the wise: pay attention to the wattage of the fluorescent tubes in your fixture. The supported bulb ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-09-14 Summary: Good little bulb ... I like this light bulb for early morning and night time work on my computer, when there is not enough natural light to make my keyboard/desk visible. Yes, the light has a hint of blue, but it is easy on the waking/tired eye, and that is what I like about it. You are not going to light up a room with this little bulb, but for soft, localized light, it's great. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-09-17 Summary: Perfect Night Light for Hallway ... I have been looking for a low-wattage LED bulb for a night light that will be left on for most of its life. This product turns a hallway between bedrooms that would be pitch dark into an easily navigable area, and with little energy use and heat production. This bulb will not light up a room like a standard bulb! Folks who gave it a bad review because it's too dim must not understand that this is a ONE Watt bulb with equivalent light output as a 7 Watt incandescent, which is pretty much a night light. This is made ...more
