[RFI] 120v halogen lights

[Jim Miller]

Neighbor uses something he calls "puck lights" for his bar area.  under the
cabinets in the back bar and in the front bar too.  He spaces them 18 to 24
inches apart.  I don't know how much light you need but these are small and
easily wired.  Available at Home Depot if not many places.  A Google search
for "puck lights" comes up with many hits and the first one shows many
styles.
