Short upper cabinets beside a range hood or over a coffee station need a light small enough to disappear under the cabinet lip. The Galaxy Lighting L420812WH is a 13-1/2 in white LED under cabinet mini strip that can be hardwired or used as a portable plug-in, with its own on/off switch. It draws 5.44 W at 120 V for warm 3000K light behind a polycarbonate shatter-guard lens, and Galaxy lists it as TRIAC dimmable.
Why kitchen installers pick it
- Only 1 in wide and 1-3/8 in high, so it hides under short cabinets.
- Hardwire or plug-in, with an on/off switch on the fixture.
- TRIAC dimmable on the dimmers Galaxy has tested (listed below).
- Link up to 10 units from one feed using Galaxy's connector cords.
- Integrated LED rated for 50,000 hours, so there are no bulbs to change.

Pro tip from the counter
Where a run of cabinets is split by a range hood or window, order Galaxy's 4200WH-CW connector cords (6, 12 or 24 in) to jump the gap instead of hardwiring each light separately. Measure each gap first and pick the next size up so the cord isn't pulled tight across the corner.
Best for: kitchen under cabinet lighting, coffee and bar stations, short cabinets beside range hoods, display shelves, rental kitchen upgrades
