Lampi lights at HD and others are wired to a plug but the wire can be
cut and hard wired. Compare cool white 4100k to warm white 3800K there
are displays at certain stores , put your hand under the light directly
you will notice the color difference, grey vs natural. Warm white is for
kitchens and living areas , not cool white 4100K , cool white is for
garages and work areas, cool white bulbs are the cheap ones.


Thanks for the info. I know that flourescents in general have a cooler
color. I've put low voltage xeons up before (under cabinet) and they look
good; bright and warm (color) and are dimmable. I don't remember the Kelvin
rating. However I want to do about 83 inches for ~$100 and from what I've
found so far, the price goes up as the color temp goes down. So I am
settling for flourescent to save money.
