Awesome light. Very easy to mount. I have it over my laptop work area and it is perfect.
Mounts under a cabinet perfectly. I used one screwdriver, read and followed the obvious instructions and 'wal-la' the light was mounted and working in less than 5 minutes. The primary powercord is something like 4 feet long and the attachment cord (that allows the connecting of more than one light in a row) is about 12 inches or so.
This little light puts out far more light than I expected from a small 12 1/2 inch light.
The light produced has a yellowish hue to it that helps, I think, to not only increase the perceived brightness but if you have never tried to work under a bright-white light then you need to know that it can be bothersome. After long hours the bright-white starts to 'wear' on the eyes--something like snow on a bright day--white paper appears very bright and causes me to have a headache.
This off-white may not be what someone would want for a presentation shelf or something but it is perfect for a worklight.
Hope this helps.

This light was not as strong as I thought it would be. I bought it to help start my seeds indoors and it is just too small and throws off very little heat. It would be perfect for a small light under kitchen cabinets or to light a small closet. Just not what I expected. Oh well :c)
