Are these lights suitable to be mounted on the underside of a cabinet above a breakfast bar? 30" between bottom of cabinet and bar. 36" to counter.

We use ours as work station lights. They are mounted under the wall cabinets and light up the counter top beautifully. We used 3 x 18 inch led strips to light up 6 feet of counter. They are only 18 inches above the counter, but they are good and bright. I think you would be pleased with the effect at 30 inches above the counter.

Definitely....I used 3 18" under 3 - 32" wide and 16" tall upper cabinets (8' total) at 32" above counter and they provide excellent brightness and coverage. I also added a dimmer (made sure it was for LEDs) since full brightness is not needed all the time.

Should work OK--they can be direct wired to a switched line, or wired to a plug. The light should be sufficient to light the counter top, but might be a bit too bright (we have them mounted under cabinets that are 18" above the countertop, but low enough so you don't look up into the fixture.

I love them, they do not get hot, are easy to mount, and are dimmable. They should work fine in your application. More than plenty of countertop illumination

We have a breakfast bar too, but no cabinet above it. The one thing that might bother you is seeing the actual light fixture if you're going to be eating right under it. It's not pretty especially since you have to attach the adapter right next to it. If you have a lightrail around your cabinet, you may not see it (needs to be at least 1.5"), and would definitely look great. The light is very pleasing to the eyes, we use it in the morning all the time, as opposed to regular recessed lighting. Also at night it makes for a pretty cool night light! Did I mention the lights don't get hot?

We installed the lights under our cabinets and connected them to one another so only had to plug one plug into the outlet. We previous had xenon (spelling?) lights and after a number of years they would go our when they got hot and finally of putting up with that inconvenience, some of them just quit working. I love these Morris lights.

The lights are about 1" in thickness and are well hidden by standard (kraftmaid cabinets for example) front overhang, if that is your concern. If you are asking if the lighting itself is suitable for your application, I can only say that the quality of light is bright and white. A dimmer kit is included in each light in the event that you are wiring them to a wall switch for use with a dimmer. In that case, the light(s) can be dimmed down to a soft glow. Hope this answers your question.

The lights are extremely light weight but made very durable. I would think double sided adhesive would hold them well. I really like these lights. I originally ordered one set for a gun cabinet, but then I liked them so much I ordered another set for under the bar cabinets. They are a great design!

If you have the lights underneath there is not enough room. Less than 1" under my cabinet after installation. Underneath my cabinet measures 10 7/8". Maybe yours is larger? I do love this device in my small galley kitchen.

Nice choice. These arrive as a (reel of) ribbon with the LEDs on one surface and a light adhesive on the other surface. They mount easily on a surface - but determine your length and cut the ribbon where indicated BEFORE exposing the adhesive. Unfortunately they are not a thing of beauty except for CP-30. If you are going for a "high tech" look, they are your choice. They mount easily hidden behind the front of a cabinet for a kitchen installation. I am about to mount some inside a frame with stained glass in the frame - their light will be reflected off a white surface. Good luck. Nice choice.

On top of a counter yes...not mounted under a counter unless you built a cabinet to hold them.

This would be ideal! You wouldn't have to worry about screwing in, could use sticky pads & they would stay! I needed under cabinet lighting just not bright enough for that , you just gave me an idea!

I think that could work. The lights have worked great. Not the easiest to install but for the price worth it and they do function properly. I have mine under kitchen cabinets on a dimmer switch in the wall.

Perhaps, depending upon placement of table, chairs, walking space, etc. The lights are about 6' off the floor, so a tall person would have to duck under them. I would recommend using a dimmer for the lights.

Yes, it would be great. My bar is 36" high and it works great. I ordered the higher ones by mistake and had to send them back and get this height.

Absolutely not. I installed this fixture in my regular height dining room and the light is so bright I use my dimmer to lower the illumination. I think a higher ceiling might accommodate this light well as it gives off a bit of heat, and I am confident it will be well placed.

Only if viewed from far away would this work - or as mentioned before screened by perhaps a small lip "hiding" the lights. I have installed these under my cabinets in the kitchen an this worked out very well - also I had mounted a few on top of my ceiling fans (pointing up to the ceiling) thus hiding the lights but producing an indirect lighting effect

You can but we wanted the stability of using screws. Used short ones so they did not pop up through the cabinet bottoms. We love these lights ! They are nice and bright and provide a lot of under cabinet lighting.

no, this light is small, suitable for a 36 footer or less. the units could be metric which would be 2x3 inchew

The fixture is close to 36" wide (made for a 36" wide aquarium), so I don't think so, unless you hang it above?
1801676
Yes, I was able to hang mine staggered from 18" to 30". Won't be a problem at all. Just change the bulb to halogen or LED. Bulbs are very bad. The bulb actually separated upon installation. Could be dangerous

With connectors, the light bars exceed 12", however, the lights can be staggered to fit within your dimensions. The lights are bright enough to place one per cabinet.

There's a lip for the under mount & you need clips under the counter to hold the sink in place, so expect it to take up quite a bit of room. 36" has room, but I would not expect it to fix in anything less than 35".
