Question about stick and click lighting for under cabinets????
I recently bought a brand new kitchen aid professional mixer.
However, I have to get rid of one of the small lamps I have on my counter tops for extra lighting in the kitchen. I was looking to replace the lamp and purchase the stick and click lighting system. Are these lights fluorscent? Or are they like a light bulb that is more a yellow tint at opposed to white light. I hate fluorscent lighting.
Can anyone recommend a light that can be easily mounted under a cabinet? Looking to not have to do any wiring. Thanks in advance for your responses!

IKEA has these small lights that you can "pop" just about anywhere. The product name is NON. They are quite small, and I believe they are not fluorescent. Small requirement, they do require a plug. But usually not too hard to find in the kitchen. They will give you plenty of light though and are inexpensive at $9.99 for a 2 pack. The touch lights are OK and I don't believe that they are fluorescent, but they rely on batteries which could get expensive over time. Good luck!

Package Plant, The Compact Solution To Modern Chemical Processing Needs
What is Package Plant?
Quite simply, a Package Plant is a self-contained, factory-built chemical processing facility in a box, albeit a rather large box.
Contained within a Package Plant are all the usual components of a chemical dosing facility: chemical storage tanks, dosing skid, kiosks, instrumentation, and safety equipment all bunded (to a capacity of 110%) to contain any possible leaks, and skid-mounted for ease of moving.
Increasingly the use of Package Plant to meet chemical dosing needs is replacing the need for chemical processing companies to build and maintain the traditional large-scale custom-designed chemical plant systems. Package Plant solutions replace the need for massive, unsightly chemical storage tanks set within oceans of expensive and environmentally unsound concrete, connected by miles of chaotic pipework across sprawling sites. Now there is the option for all that to be easily replaced by a single, small structure that arrives on site with the necessary engineering work to connect and bring the facility online seeming like a mere formality compared to the months of building, installing, testing and other pre-commissioning work needed for the construction of increasingly outdated traditional plant schemes.
Why Package Plant?
A quicker question to answer may well be ‘why use traditional plant?’ Indeed the process of building these larger unsightly sites seems more antiquated with each passing day. Traditional plant relies on massive and hugely expensive civil works, even before the careful combining of a range of bulky and surprisingly delicate components, often supplied by a group of companies, diverse both in terms of their geography and their specific industrial expertise. Site managers have to contend with different timescales for the manufacture, installation and testing of these components, and tense moments waiting to see if it is all going to come together seamlessly as the deadline draws near. All the while the construction is at risk of significant and costly disruption by the capricious British weather.
With Package Plant life becomes so much simpler.
In terms of time, employing Package Plant becomes so much more efficient. These pre-engineered and prefabricated dosing systems are markedly quicker to design and build than traditional plant, with timescales measured in weeks rather than months. They are much quicker to install on-site, easier to operate (thus reducing the amount of time needed to train any operating staff) and they arrive on-site practically ready to run.
With Package Plant the scope for financial savings simply cannot be overstated. Gone is the need for gallons and gallons of concrete, with its associated cost not just in terms of manufacture, but also in terms of fewer journeys by heavy goods vehicles needed to transport it to the site. Package Plant systems require a single concrete pad upon which to be sited, and since by their nature they have a very small footprint, concrete usage can be reduced significantly, often by an order of magnitude. The small footprint of these modular designs also significantly reduces the amount of civil work needed to prepare a suitable site.
Environmental awareness
Package Plant can in many ways be considered a greener alternative to the larger traditional plants. The concrete industry is a major contributor to the overall amount of carbon dioxide in the air. Indeed, for every tonne of concrete manufactured almost a full tonne of CO2 is released in to the atmosphere. As chemical dosing systems based around Package Plant technology have a far smaller need for this material, significant carbon savings can be made. As the amount of visits to the site by specialist concrete carrying vehicles is reduced, so too is the associated carbon release. Less traffic moving to and from the site also reduces the overall noise pollution generated by the project.
Package Plant and wastewater treatment
A sector where Package Plant usage has really taken off is in the wastewater treatment industry. In addition to the usual benefits associated with Package Plant facilities detailed above they have also been shown to dramatically reduce the ‘rotting eggs’ smell of the toxic hydrogen sulphide gas which is liberated as a by-product of processing. This gas is a major nuisance to any residents or businesses located nearby and any effective way to reduce its impact is of great importance.
At some wastewater treatment sites Package Plant is also being used as a part of Combined Heat & Power (CHP) projects. Very much a re-emerging technology, CHP sites harvest methane liberated from the processed sludge and combust it to produce heat and electricity. The power generated in this way is very often more than enough to meet all on-site electricity needs. The Holy Grail, and an increasingly realistic target, is for a surplus of electricity to be produced. This surplus power can be sold back to the National Grid, generating a new revenue stream for the site operator.
At the forefront of recent advances in Package Plant design is an example of a real British success story, Birmingham based Gee & Co.
Even in these trying times Gee continues to build upon their impressive 30 year reputation for design and construction excellence in the chemical dosing sector with their latest innovations in Package Plant. In fact, Gee’s bespoke Package Plant has rapidly become the go-to range of choice for many significant operators in the field of wastewater & effluent treatment.
Why Gee?
For 30 years Gee & Co. have maintained their position as a chemical dosing powerhouse. In this time they have developed unparalleled expertise in their field and continue to explore new avenues.
Gee’s Package Plant displays all the hallmarks of solid reliability and of an attention to detail that engenders real trust. Fully assembled at their site in the heart of the West Midlands, their bespoke Package Plant is fully tested at every stage of construction to ensure seamless integration of all the components. Once fully assembled the clients are invited to witness the final FAT testing prior to delivery.
This delivery to the customer’s site is made by members of Gee's highly experienced driving staff, utilising dedicated low-loaders. Leaving nothing to chance, Gee’s engineers oversee the craning of the Package Plant from the truck bed and into final position on the concrete pad. All final connections are made and tested by Gee engineers prior to the system being brought online.
There will be no compatibility issues as all components arrive in one go and are all serviceable and covered by the warranties of a single supplier. After-sales support will come from a single dedicated team who know their systems inside and out. In short, Gee make the Package Plant proposition even more logical.
