- Take 2700K for a worktop you cook on - at 2200K everything under the cupboards takes an amber cast, which looks good on a timber shelf and poor on a chopping board.
- Save 2200K for display shelving and bars - where the amber is the point.
- Match every capsule in a run - a row of pucks reads as a single line of light, and one capsule at a different temperature is visible every time you walk in.
- Check the pin spacing - G8, G9 and GY6.35 all look like small bi pin capsules and none interchange.
- Expect roughly nine years at three hours a day - the halogen capsules these replace typically lasted two thousand hours.
- Let the old capsule cool before removing it.
The brighter under-cabinet capsule
Same G8 flat bi-pin base as the 2W version, a little more output, and a choice of two colour temperatures. The 2200K is very warm, close to candlelight. The 2700K is standard warm white and the one most kitchens want.
Both replace the 20W halogen capsule that these under-cabinet pucks originally held.

Under-cabinet light lands on food
At 2200K everything under the cupboards takes on an amber cast, which looks good on a timber shelf and poor on a chopping board. For a worktop you actually cook on, take 2700K. Save the warmer setting for shelving and display.
Match every capsule in a run
A row of pucks along one cabinet run is seen as a single line of light. One capsule at 2200K among 2700K neighbours is visible immediately, and it is the sort of thing you notice every time you walk into the room. Order the whole run at once.
10,000 hours in practice
An under-cabinet run used three hours a day reaches 10,000 hours in around nine years. The halogen capsules these replace typically lasted two thousand, which is why the fixtures got a reputation for needing constant attention.
