The LEDs Arrive

OK. This is the coolest new thing about my kitchen redesign.



LED lights are slowly starting to turn up in all sorts of places. They use very little electricity, and they last for years.



There are a few companies that seem to make them for consumer uses, including under cabinet lighting. Right now they are still overly expensive, and not really straight forward. I could not order them directly from the manufacture, the reseller had to work with my contractor to work on the right sizes and the issues of primary lights vs. secondary, and there is some special transformer needed (No, not Optimus Prime). And when you finally order them, you have to wait a few weeks for them to ship -- shouldn't they have a warehouse of these things ready to go? Actually I hope this is a sign that demand is so high they can't keep them in stock long enough.
