| We are renovating our 20 year old kitchen. We have new
dark granite counter tops. The original cabinets are staying. The current UC lighting is fluorescent. We have only 3/4" space between the bottom of the cabinet and the cabinet frame. The current Fluorescent lights show when seated and produce glare on the granite. I want to replace them with more energy efficient lights and eliminate the glare, without loosing the amount of light I have. Will Xenon, or LED produce less glare, but give me the light I need?? I'm willing to add some molding to the bottom of the cabinet frame if needed to "hide" the light. I need good light and would prefer to hard wire although I could do a transformer. Can you recommend a light that would solve this problem? I also have a glass back splash. |

| The problem with granite countertops and with glass blacksplashes is that they both naturally provide glare with any type of lighting. I would suggest any type of lighting which uses a frosted lens or frosted lamp. |
