Mine are about 7 years old and made by Kichler. They use 12 V T-5
incandescent bulbs filled with xenon. They have a switch, well separated
from the bulbs, that yields bright, dim and off. These, at least, are
absolutely quiet. I assume that they run off of a transformer, but I've
never measuered the voltage to the bulbs to know if it's AC or DC. I'll
have to check, but I don't know if there are any restrictions on using
dimmers. Even so, we always use the "dim" position and they make plenty
of light for us.

Hi Peter, we have three Kichler under counter lights that have been is use
since the home was built 7 years ago, and they don't make a peep on 160 - 2
meters. I can't find a part number for the fixtures, but each one uses
three 18 watt 12.8 volt 'Type T-5' bulbs. The fixtures have a low/high
switch on them - no noise in either position.
I'm kind of looking for LED lighting (though I didn't say that
initially!) but fluorescent is OK. Thanks for the report.
