[RFI] Under-counter lighting that is quiet?

[Wes Attaway (N5WA)]

I agree about the Kichler fixtures being "quiet".  We have a number of them
and I have never noticed any noise.  We also have quite a few Lutron dimmer
switches (from Lowe's and/or Home Depot) and they are "quiet".  

One thing to look for in the under-counter fixtures, aside from noise, is
how they are put together.  Some of the fixtures have a switch that lets you
control brightness (a high-low choice).  I have found that over time the
switches in our units get "destroyed" by the heat from the little
high-intensity bulbs.  The switches are too close to the bulbs.  I fixed
this problem by just cutting the switch out of the circuit and dimming the
lights with a Lutron dimmer that I mounted in place of the regular on/off
wall switch.

Yes, the kitchen at N5UWY is going to be remodeled in the next few
months so I need to know.  :-)

So which makes of under-counter lighting are quiet?  Are there any
that aren't junk?
