#2 The bulbs are halogen so the get really hot (I like to use mine mostly just for night lighting so they're left on for several hours at a time).
So funny, Linda, how one [wo]man's trash (so to speak) can be another can be another [wo]man's treasure. I LOVE my halogen under-cabinet lights precisely because of the heat. I put rolls/bread under them to rise, and the temp is perfect. Likewise for frozen foods, like spinach, when I need to thaw them quickly. (All on top of my toaster oven, so they're about 6 inches from the heat). I had to replace about half of the bulbs recently that had burned out and was so relieved I could still get them!
