Awhile back, I posted a question about making fluorescent undercabinet lights touch-activated, but got no response. However, I did stumble across the Touch-n-Glow touch activation adapter for fluorescent fixtures, that promised to do just what I wanted.
Well, I tried it, and after a few days, it stopped working and is stuck on the "on" setting. Up until now, it also occasionally would turn off by itself.
At least for now, I couldn't recommend the product.
I never knew they existed. Shame they don't work.
I solved the problem 40 years ago. We have a small undercounter light. It gets turned on and left on until it dies. I'm on maybe the fifth one in all those years. Serves as a night light and helps at the sink too. You can buy a new fixture for about $5 now or a bulb only for $4.50.
There are 15 watt T8 undercabinet fixtures with a touch bar, Ive had them for 10 yrs at box stores
