Patent attributes
The present invention relates to an energy efficient under-cabinet lighting system with a low profile switch mode power supply complying with Class 2 requirements of Underwriters Lab. Northbrook, Ill. This power source is enclosed in a suitable electrical container to provide constant current to the Light Emitting Diodes (LED's) with long life. The system is specially designed to reduce the power consumption as compared to Halogen lamps or Fluorescent lamps without compromising light output. The height of this lighting system is 0.8 inch. A specifically formed transparent diffuser is positioned over the Light Emitting Diodes for uniform illumination over a desired area. These luminaries provide focused light in a desired area and can be coupled or linked by an external interconnect cord. The luminarie provides manual dimming capability.
