Instead I used GE “linkable” undercabinet lights, which I bought at Home Depot. Can’t find them on the Home Depot web site, but here’s one link: http://www.jascoproducts.com/products/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=863&idcategory=66#details . Home Depot’s price was cheaper.

Two of these lights are plenty bright at night. This picture shows how skinny they are: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mjb2000/3390365854/ and this picture shows what they look like from underneath: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mjb2000/3389551237/

These aren’t hard-wired fixtures, just plug-ins, but I did a little rewiring — with an electrician consulting, of course — so they can be turned on and off remotely.
