By Ethan Cole
Updated November 5, 2026
NSL’s 24 inch fixture is an edge-lit, low-profile bar that can be hardwired or plugged in, with three color temperatures and two brightness levels. This review covers the lighting, install options, and its limits.
For other hardwired options, see our best hardwired under cabinet lighting guide.
Our Verdict
NSL is a refined, permanent-look fixture for a standard counter. It is rated 4.6 stars on about 1,480 Amazon ratings at the time of review (November 4, 2026). It has only two brightness levels, so it is not a full dimmer.

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.
