Our Verdict
GE is a straightforward, brand-name fixture for a narrow cabinet. It is rated 4.7 stars on about 1,090 Amazon ratings at the time of review (November 4, 2026). It is daylight only and links with cables that are mostly sold separately.

Safety note: under-cabinet lights connect to power by plug, batteries, or a hardwired connection to a household circuit. Use the power supply or cord that comes with the light, look for a UL or ETL mark, and do not exceed the rating on the label. Hardwired fixtures should be installed by a licensed electrician with the breaker off. Keep cords, batteries, and small parts away from young children, and follow the manual. Listings differ; we describe what each maker lists.
