Hi - We went with Seagull under-cabinet lighting too. I got a copy of their "Ambience" catalog from our local lighting store. It gave a lot of information, but I finally realized that because of issues like those that bignick mentioned, the subject was too tricky for me to be sure I was doing it right. I contacted the local Seagull sales rep (you can probably get the rep's name from your local Seagull dealer), and he very kindly drew up exactly the layout and parts we needed. It was great! The biggest surprise was that the lady at the lighting store who was initially "relaying" what the rep said was completely wrong. I'm so glad we got the expert involved! Also, our electrician had a question while he was installing the wire, and he was able to call the rep directly, which helped too. Good luck! Ours isn't completely installed yet, so I can't report on the end results, but I have high hopes. :-)

dim4fun, Thanks for the reply. Because I hadn't heard anything here I also posted this in the Kitchen forum. I got a few responses, but I have yet to hear from *anybody* about the Juno. Is it new, so that nobody has had a chance to discover and use it yet? Or is there some other reason. The people over on the Kitchen forum are not all, or even mostly, DIY people. From my perspective it seems to make a lot more sense to choose something that has a lot of favorable user experience than something that *might* be good but for which no user experience is available.

I have the Sea Gull Linear lighting in my kitchen. In my opinion, the more finished look of the Juno isn't very important. It's not something you're going to see unless you stick your head under the cabinet and crane your neck. I like the flexibility of the Linear lighting. While I'm not familiar with the features of the Juno track, I can't imagine that it would any more versatile than the Linear cable, which not only can curve, but can also be cut to any required length. It also allows you to place lamps along the cable at any interval that you choose, and there are a number of different lamping options. Mine are 10W xenon at 6" intervals. They provide ample illumination, are dimmable and don't throw off any noticeable heat.. Here's a photo of a section of my installation:

Hi, I have Seagull Ambience, and I like the color of the light, the intensity (I have a 10w bulb about every 8" average) and in 5 years I have only had one bulb go out. In comparison, I've had to replace all of the 20w halogens (4 of them) in the thermador vent hood in that same time period. (and replace a section of in-cabinet rope light 4 times!) The U/C's have more hours of use than the hood. The warming effect is noted, but it's not perceptible at countertop level, just the cabinet floor. The "heat" hasn't rendered any discoloration to the cabinet bottoms, so it's clearly not in the temp range to bother the wood or the finish. Casey
