I've wondered about the 12V stuff from

tubes, for lighting cases.

Annoyingly, they seemed to have stopped stocking white. They claim to be getting a bigger range soon, but the price of around

3.20 for 2*12" tubes that run from 12V is good. They produce a decent amount of light too.

Six of one...

The light is slightly different from each, but the fixture types play a bigger part in the look. Halogen *may* be easier to find replacement bulbs for.

Maybe you should try a "better" search engine Google sucks

Halogen bulbs get much hotter than a Xenon bulb does. attractive rope lighting from "Ambience Lighting" works the best.

How about backing your claim with an alternative instead of just criticizing?

For efficiency Flouresent are 75 - 80 more efficient . T 8 bulbs come in different temps that can have good color.

I just saw a LED under-cabinet lighting in Pop Mechanics,sold at Wal- Mart.$25 USD

Not anything fancy,though.Nor flexible.

I can think of some better ways of using LEDs for under-cabinet lighting,too.

I dought you saw LEDs for 25$ , probably just small bulbs. Plus Clear Leds are no more efficient than incandesant , apx 17 LPW
