Has anyone ever used rope lights for under cabinet lighting. I

We bought a small (3 light) under-counter set that is plugged into an ordinary outlet and installed the set in our kitchen. We love it…but after a time, it just stopped working. My husband replaced it with a whole new set…and now that one has stopped working as well. We bought a meter to test our outlet, but all we could figure out from that is that the outlet is delivering the right amount of voltage. What are we missing?
We’ve not yet had a chance to try bulb replacement, since both times the whole set has failed (never one light, or two), which leads us to believe it’s a “system” failure…
Bruce–we’ve never had the chance to change the bulbs yet. The bulbs haven’t blown–the whole system has failed.
More info for Bruce–after our first installation failed, we threw the whole thing away and bought another one at a different home improvement store, so if we managed to catch a crappy run TWICE under those circumstances, then maybe we ought not even think about replacing the lights…
I just tested the bulbs–all three are good.

so far i seen some lights made by sylvania, but one downside is that you have to rip them off to change the battery and they might not re-stick.

and I also seen these:

how far apart should they be? how far from the edge of the last cabinet? should they be closer to the front of the cabinet or the rear or in the middle?

thanks!

I remodeled my kitchen and ran wires for under counter lights? I had a gift card for Home Depot so I had to buy the lights there but all I could find was plug in/linkable lights. Some will link but 4 (1 in each cluster of cabinets) needs to be hardwired. Can I cut off the plug and hard wire them in? They are line voltage. None are low voltage.

My kitchen’s ceiling lights are warm fluorescent tubes. Is it okay to have under cabinet lights of color temperature different from that of fluorescent, like halogen lights? Or, are there any non-fluorescent under cabinet lights that have the same color temperature of warm fluorescent kitchen light?

Have under-cabinet “puck” lights with a “thru-cord” switch. Don’t have the instructions for the wiring of the switch. I believe the wire, which has a ribbed and smooth side, has to be split for the switch. Help! Thanks

I am putting in a new kitchen and I am looking to hardwire three under cabinet puck lights that will all be on the same switch as a 4″ pot light that will shine down over the window. I know the puck lights require a different voltage so how do I hard wire these lights before I put my drywall in?

I need to connect several under cabinet strip lights but i can’t seem to find the right plug that fits into the light fitting. It’s a uk 3 pin plug but not the standard kettle style plug IEC C5 or C13 are there any other styles?
