Radionic Publishes Lighting Facts Label for Undercabinet Product
Radionic Hi-Tech, Inc. of Chicago, IL has told LightNOW that they have the distinction of being the first manufacturer of undercabinet LED luminaires to receive the Lighting Facts label.
Sponsored by the Department of Energy and endorsed by major retailers including The Home Depot and W.W. Grainger, the Solid-State Lighting Quality Advocates label was “created to assure and improve the quality of LED lighting products.”
Similar to the label one might find on the back of a food carton, Radionic will include a “Lighting Facts” label (see below graphic) on its LED products so that consumers can more easily understand the SSL products available as they comparison shop. The first Radionic products to undergo the independent lab tests required to receive the Lighting Facts label included its ZX Series in warm white, engineered to emit comparable light output as a typical fluorescent undercabinet luminaire but with for about half the wattage.

Wow. This is a great idea. Why aren’t there more products like this available in Home Depot if Home Depot has endorsed the concept? I wish I saw this a few weeks ago- I just remodeled my kitchen. the Radionic LED fixtures would’ve been perfect!
There’s a great reason for using a lighting consultant like myself and staying out of HOME DEPOT, which in my circle of lighting contractors, has few answers to real problems. The lady’s home I just finished with has compact fluorescent lighting over a new cooking island, LED can light for the serving counter and Radionic LED strips for new kitchen cabinets. As an added touch we installed a daylight harvesting system to put daylight directly into her den, dimmable, with no heat coming in and requires NO Power.

yup. i used these also. Radionic seems to make the only reasonably priced LED undercabinet that actually produces enough light to be useful. Philips and GE make some very expensive ones but who wants to pay that much when you need 10 fixtures and they’re no better. The LED’s at the big boxes are just junk; low light output. i bought mine at FactoryDirectLighting.net
