- Getting Power: these Xenon 120V Hardwire Thin Under Cabinet Task Lights may be "hardwired" using the 3/8 ROMEX® connectors included with each fixture and standard household ROMEX® 14/2 wire that you will have to supply. They are easy to install using the quick push-in connectors that are included in each fixture and the multiple knock-outs on the rear of each task light. They can be connected together up to a total of 600 watts (30 light bulbs). Always check local electrical codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC) before installing any light fixtures.
     
Measurement Guide for Xenon Line Voltage Thin Task Lights
When determining how many Xenon Line Voltage Hardwire Thin Under Cabinet Task Lights and which size you will need for under cabinet lighting you first will have to measure the space where the fixtures will be attached. To do this you should not measure the face of the cabinets; instead, you should measure the "cavity" under each of the cabinets where the fixtures will actually be placed. We recommend that you "fill up" each of the cabinet cavities with the longest fixture that can fit. For example, for a space that measures 28 inches across we recommend that you use the under cabinet task light that has a fixture length of 22in, not the one that has a fixture length of 14in. This will ensure that the countertop and the backsplash below will be uniformly lit.
Please use this Measurement Guide to assist you.

- DIMMERS
Q) Can I use a wall dimmer with the Xenon Line Voltage Task Lights?
- A) Yes, a wall dimmer may be used to control the Xenon 120V Hardwire Thin Task Lights.
- Q) What kind of dimmer switch should I use?
- A) An ordinary incandescent (line voltage) wall dimmer can be used to dim the Xenon Line Voltage Task Lights as long as the wattage rating of the dimmer exceeds the total wattage of all of the fixtures controlled by that dimmer.
- Q) Where can I find dimmer switches that are designed to control line voltage light fixtures?
- A) Please see our Line Voltage Dimmers section.

- HARDWIRING GUIDELINES
Q) How should the Xenon Line Voltage Hardwire Thin Task Lights be wired?
- A) It is always wise to consult an electrician in your geographical area about any electrical details that you might have questions about and to make certain that you are fulfilling all of the appropriate electrical codes.
- Q) What type of wire should be used to connect the Xenon Line Voltage Task Light to the household current?
- A) You can use standard household ROMEX® wire, normally found at your local hardware store, to wire the Xenon 120V Hardwire Thin Task Lights directly to power.
- Q) Can I connect several Xenon Line Voltage Task Lights together and control them with one switch
- A) Absolutely. If you are connecting the Hardwire Xenon Task Lights simply connect the “first” xenon task light to household current using standard household ROMEX® wire, then connect the “second” xenon task light to the “first” task light using a Linking Cable, then connect the “third” xenon task light to the “second” task light using a second Linking Cable, etc.
Back to FAQ top
- XENON BIPIN LAMPS
Q) What makes this a xenon lighting system?
- A) Xenon gas has been introduced into the glass envelope of the xenon bipin lamps.
- Q) Why is xenon gas added into the glass envelope of the lamp?
- A) The addition of xenon gas into the glass envelope increases the rated life of the lamp. The addition of the xenon gas also creates a light source that has a color temperature that is higher (cooler looking) than an ordinary incandescent lamp but still lower (warmer looking) than a halogen lamp.
- Q) What is the rated life of the xenon line voltage bipin lamps?
- A) 8,000 hours on average.
- Q) What does “rated life” mean?
- A) The “rated life” of a lamp signifies the time at which 50% of a large quantity of these lamps will have burned out. That means that 50% of these lamps will burn out BEFORE the “rated life” and 50% will burn out AFTER the “rated life”. The “rated life” does NOT mean that every one of the lamps will last at least that long.
- Q) Is this definition of “rated life” true for all lamps?
- A) Yes, this is the standard rated life definition for the life of all types of lamps.
- Q) What “kind of light” is given off by the xenon line voltage bipin lamps?
- A) As mentioned earlier xenon lamps have a color temperature that is between ordinary incandescent and halogen. That is, the light is cooler in appearance than incandescent but warmer in appearance than halogen.

“Thank you for your service. Great product (Xenon Line Voltage Thin Under Cabinet Task Lights), good price, delivered on time. I have not had that same experience with all online venders. You now have a loyal customer that will recommend you. Thanks.” - Steve F.
“We are thrilled with the purchase of the undercabinet lighting (Xenon Line Voltage Thin Under Cabinet Task Lights) and have recommended Pegasus to our friends and neighbors who have stopped by to see the renovations to our kitchen. The lights are so much better/sturdier than what you find in Lowe's or Home Depot and match the stainless steel backsplash perfectly!!! Thank you so much. Will be looking for bathroom lights/fans next.” – Alan K.
"A little over a year ago my husband and I purchased a home built in 1999--that had basic options but very little upgrades. He and I both saw potential, but he was more willing than I to spend a little bit of money making improvements. Since he works for the landscape division of a major luxury home builder, he saw many possibilities that captured his attention. One of these ideas was to remove the existing countertops and replace with granite, add a tile back splash and under cabinet lighting. He researched various lighting companies and decided to order from Pegasus. He then obtained the name of an electrician and hired him to wire and install the lights--which was no easy task since the home is not a new build and it took a bit of finesse to reach all the areas we wanted lit. All said and done, the lighting (Xenon Line Voltage Thin Under Cabinet Task Lights) is a dramatic improvement! I now have a well-lit counter surface to work on which also highlights the granite and tile beautifully. The lights have a main on-off switch but also a rocker switch on each one that alternates between bright and subdued. The xenon produces a lovely quality of light. I would highly recommend this company. Their products are of high quality and shipment was timely with no problems whatsoever. I know you will be as satisfied as we are." – Lisanne C.
"Just wanted to share with you the results of the undercabinet lights that I ordered from you (Xenon Line Voltage Thin Under Cabinet Task Lights). We absolutely love them and they've made a huge improvement to our kitchen. I was worried that the light would be a bright, unwelcoming color, but they put off a beautiful, warm glow. We placed them towards the front of the cabinet for task lighting and I'm very happy with that choice as well (it still reflects on the backsplash area but shines more on the actual area of the counter you're working on). Thanks again for your informative website and top-notch customer service." – Chloe & Co.
