As a home chef, a bright kitchen is a must. The problem is that I only have one large light fixture in my kitchen, and it's nowhere near big or bright enough to hit the most important spaces, like near my stove or under my kitchen cabinets. You can imagine how difficult it makes cutting and prepping my meals. I talked my husband out of forking over a large amount of money for a new fixture so we could try DiDiSky's Under-Cabinet Light duo instead, and they were by far the easiest and most impactful home upgrade we’ve made to date.
