- Very Low Profile: only 7/8in wide by 1-11/16in high
- Very Little Heat: gives off very little heat
- Complete Unit: each T5 Low-Profile Fluorescent Fixture made of polycarbonate comes with a T5 cool white fluorescent lamp, an attractive, easy-to-clean, ribbed, acrylic cover that protects the T5 fluorescent lamp, a rocker switch pre-installed on the fixture, a direct connector, and a 6ft cord-and-plug with a two-prong polarized plug
LAMPS
- Lamp Included: T5 (5/8in diameter) fluorescent lamp with a color temperature of 4100K (cool white) is included with each fixture
- Very Good Lamp Life: rated life is 20,000 hours on average (Lamp is easily replaced.)
Caution: always be certain that the lamp is seated properly in both of its sockets. Be sure that both pins of each end are inside their respective socket and that the lamp is rotated 90 degrees once the pins are in the sockets. Failure to make good electrical contact between the pins and its socket may result in arcing and excessive heating of the socket.
ELECTRICAL FEATURES
- Quiet Electronic Ballast: built-in lightweight electronic ballast provides instant-on starting with no flickering and cool quiet operation
- Energy-Efficient: uses only 8, 13, 18, 21, 24, 28 watts of power/fixture respectively
- Linkable: as many as 10 T5 units may be linked together in one continuous line using Direct Connectors or Flexible Connectors of 6in, 12in, or 18in. If the distance between two T5 Low-Profile Fixtures is greater than 18 inches, then use two or more Flexible Connectors. For example, if the distance between two T5 Low-Profile Fixtures is 25 inches, use two 18in Flexible Connectors connected end-to-end. (NOTE: Each T5 Low-Profile Light Fixture normally comes with an "end cap" on one end. This end cap must be removed before the fixture can be linked to a second fixture.)
- Rocker Switch Pre-Installed: all of the fixtures come equipped with a small rocker switch on the side of the fixture. When the Fluorescent T5 Low-Profile Fixtures are linked together one or more of the fixtures may be turned off by using the rocker switch without affecting the other fixtures.
- 2-Wire Non-Grounded: 2-wire non-grounded fixtures like these Microfluorescent T5 Low-Profile Light Fixtures can
be used for residential installations; on the other hand, 3-wire grounded microfluorescent fixtures are strongly recommenced for projects that require grounding - especially commercial installations
- Not Dimmable: these fluorescent fixtures are not dimmable
INSTALLATION
- Easy to Install: please refer to these Installation Instructions (PDF). Always check local electrical codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC) before installing any lighting products. It is also wise to consult with a licensed electrician in your geographical area about any electrical details that you might have questions about and to make certain that you are satisfying all of the appropriate electrical codes.
- Plug-In Electrical Connection: unit is supplied with a 6ft cord-and-plug adapter with a two-prong polarized plug. These Microfluorescent T5 Low-Profile Light Fixtures cannot be hardwired directly; their profile is simply too small.

Measurement Guide for Microfluorescent T5 Low-Profile Light Fixtures
When determining how many Microfluorescent T5 Low-Profile Light Fixtures and which size you will need for under cabinet lighting you first have to measure the space where the fixtures will be attached. To do this you should NOT measure the face of the cabinets; you must measure the "cavity" under the cabinet where the fixtures will actually be placed. We recommend that you "fill up" the cavity space with as many fixtures that can fit. For example, for a space that measures 28 inches we recommend that you use the fixture that measures 25-1/8in, NOT the one that measures 22.5in. This will ensure that the countertop below will be uniformly lit.

"I finally had the time to install the first set (of Microfluorescent T5 Low-Profile Light Fixtures) in a safe. I'm happy as a clam at high tide. This order will do the next two safes." — Mel B.
"Re the fixtures (Microfluorescent T5 Low-Profile Fixtures): I like them for the application I am using them for, they install easily, and do a nice job of lighting our display cases." — Eric H.
"I received a replacement light, PNULS-18, from you (Pegasus) and it works just fine. I wanted to thank you for your help in getting the replacement light. Hassle free and great customer service!! Thanks again."
"I really like the small compact fluorescent lighting (Microfluorescent T5 Low-Profile Fixtures). Good service when I had a fixture fail in the first year. Have purchased them since 2001. A site you can trust."
“In my original order of the light fixture (Microfluorescent T5 Low-Profile Light Fixture) I was reluctant to order back up bulbs, but now I have. The light fixture is light in weight with a very strong lighting atmosphere. It turns on as quick as a conventional bulb but is dead silent , no humming what so ever. The perfect finishing touch to my custom computer desk that I have been getting together. I priced a 24-inch light fixture similar to this but with a weaker bulb and that damn annoying humming at $39.99. The price I paid for this fixture is like the old saying 'you only get what you pay for'. Completely satisfied. Thank you.”
"(Your site) seems well put together. Did not browse site much. Got here via a Google search for 'indirect lighting' and found something that I bought right away (Microfluorescent T5 Low-Profile Light Fixtures)."
"The three slim-line lights (Microfluorescent T5 Low-Profile Light Fixtures) arrived at our front door yesterday. We opened the box with some trepidation, but were very pleasantly surprised. The lights are light weight, plug together as easily as Legos, and emit a very bright light. And they had a plug, just like you promised me. So far, no hum. We knew what we needed but we thought the product may not exist on this planet. Excuse the exaggerations, but we've lived with a couple of out-of -date humming lights for several years. And these fluorescent lights are perfect!"
