Description
The DAXA-S is a slim LED under-cabinet light with three colour temperatures in one fitting: 3000K, 4000K and 5500K. Because the colour is selectable, you can pick the white that sits best with the room's existing lighting. It measures 574mm long and 60mm wide, and at 9.2mm deep it is less than a centimetre thick. It draws up to 9W for up to 1200 lumens, or up to 133 lumens per watt: lumens are the light you get and watts the power it uses, so those are the two figures to compare between fittings.
It belongs under kitchen wall units and shelves. That is the point of under-cabinet lighting: a ceiling light is usually behind you as you work, so your shadow falls on the chopping board, while a light under the units shines down in front of you. A warm 3000K suits a kitchen where you also eat or relax; a cooler, daylight-like 5500K gives crisp light for preparing food; a neutral 4000K sits between. It is rated IP20, which carries no protection against water, so fit it in a dry indoor spot.
The body is aluminium alloy in a white finish, and the frosted polycarbonate (PC) diffuser spans almost its whole length. It runs at 24V DC rather than mains voltage, so it needs a 24V DC power supply; read the documents below before planning the installation. Up to three fittings can be linked along a longer run of units, and its rated lifespan of 35,000 hours comes to over thirty years at three hours a day. It is not compatible with an external dimmer; for brightness control, its twin in the DAXA range, the DAXA-M-IR 9W, is the same length with a switch and brightness control built in.

Frequently Asked
Will it fit under my kitchen wall units?
It is 574mm long and 60mm wide, so check that the underside of the unit or shelf offers at least that much flat surface before you order. At 9.2mm deep, it projects less than a centimetre below its mounting surface.
Which colour temperature is best for a kitchen?
That depends on how you use the room. 3000K is a warm white that suits a kitchen you also eat or relax in; 5500K is a cooler, daylight-like white that gives crisp light for preparing food; 4000K is a neutral white between the two. Because the colour is selectable, you are not locked into one choice when you order.
Can I dim it?
It is not compatible with an external dimmer. If brightness control matters to you, its twin in the DAXA range, the DAXA-M-IR 9W, is the same length with a switch and brightness control built in.
Can I join several together under a long run of units?
Yes, up to three fittings can be linked. Three laid end to end come to 1722mm of fitting, which is a useful figure to check against the length of the units you want to light.
Does it connect straight to the mains?
Not directly. It runs at 24V DC, well below the 230V of UK mains, so it needs a 24V DC power supply between it and the mains. Read the specification sheet and range datasheet under Downloads before you plan the installation.
What is it made of?
The body is aluminium alloy with a white finish, and the diffuser is polycarbonate, listed as PC. Polycarbonate is a tough, impact-resistant plastic, and a diffuser's job is to spread and soften the light from the LEDs behind it.
