    Yes, yes, yes. It looks like they are dropping this item from their line, so it would be good to buy some extra bulbs, as they do burn out. We put some similar ones under the cabinets in our kitchen to illuminate the countertop, and they are wonderful for shining light where I need it rather than working in the shadow of myself. If I were you, I'd stock up for future use--they don't go bad.

    That they're metal housings is good. Plastic versions are common, and over time they distort and die.

    Thanks for the heads up...just ordered two sets. Use code V7227 for $10 off a $10+ order.

    The sets I ordered were just delivered.

    I am very happy to have found this deal, got them with no shipping too. Plugged in a set and 3 x 20 watts is fairly bright, I was concerned about that having no frame of reference for halogen. Will use most of them under some wall cabinets lighting up a double desk/computer corner. Quality and finish appear as good and mostly better than the Home Depot or Lowes offerings. I did not get a chance to compare at a lighting store, just bought when these came along.

    Ordered 6 sets this morning for some curio cabinets I'm building for the wife. Sure wish I'd seen the 10 bucks off code before I ordered!

    glad other found value in this deal too and thanks for the replies which swayed me in picking up a dozen kits. i soon plan on making a handful of wall hanging quilt racks for a group of ladies at my church.

    Thanks for the link, Craig, and thanks for the info everyone else! I just ordered 4 sets, with the $10 coupon, to be put into some workshop cabinets for more detail lighting. For $10 a set, I could hardly go wrong!

    Not all chemicals are bad. Without hydrogen or oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer.

    Thanks! I just ordered 2 sets; they'll go under my new kitchen cabinets once I finish building the #@$%&*! things. :-) Missed the bit about the $10 off coupon code, but at that price I can't really complain.

    Has anyone one used a dimmer/ on/off switch with these lights? I'm looking for something that can be used in-line with the power cord. Thanks.
