Frequently Asked Questions
Is the fixture safe to use in a kitchen with kids and pets?
The Maylit bar uses cool running LED technology that does not get hot to the touch like an incandescent bulb. There is no glass to shatter, no exposed filament, and no hot surface that could burn small hands or curious paws. The corded plug in design also eliminates the battery fire risk that comes with rechargeable lights.
Does the LED produce any heat that could damage cabinet wood over time?
The 8 watt LED runs cool and only produces a small amount of heat through the housing. Under normal use, the bar will not warp, discolor, or dry out wood cabinets. Many customers install it inside wood pantries and closets without any long term finish issues.
Can I leave the light on overnight without a fire risk?
Yes. The bar is rated for continuous use and the LEDs are designed to run for tens of thousands of hours without overheating. The corded plug in design means there is no lithium battery to overcharge, and the housing stays cool even after hours of operation. Many customers use the bar as a low level night light in bedrooms and hallways.
Is the inline switch safe for seniors with arthritis or shaky hands?
The rocker switch is large, tactile, and requires only a light press to click on or off. It is easier to operate than small push button switches, twist knobs, or touch controls. The switch is also positioned a few feet down the cord, so users do not have to bend or reach under a cabinet to find it.
What happens if the adhesive fails and the bar falls?
The 14 inch bar is very light, so even in the rare case of adhesive failure it will not cause injury. The bar is also flat and has no sharp edges. For added peace of mind, use the included screw in clips in homes with very young children, active pets, or vibration from nearby appliances.
Is the cord safe to run along a wall where a child or pet might chew?
The cord is a standard 120V two prong power cord. If you have a pet that chews cords, route the wire through a cord cover, behind furniture, or along a corner channel that is out of reach. Most customers secure the cord with small adhesive clips that keep it flat and inaccessible to curious pets.
Does the light pose any risk to people with photosensitive epilepsy?
The bar uses a constant current driver that delivers steady, flicker free light. There is no strobing effect and no high frequency flicker that could trigger photosensitivity. This makes it safer than many cheap LEDs, fluorescent tubes, or candles for sensitive users.
How does this compare to a candle or oil lamp for safety?
The Maylit bar is flameless, smokeless, and produces no open flame, hot wax, or scent. There is nothing to tip over, nothing to blow out, and no soot to clean. For households with kids, pets, seniors, or sleep safety concerns, an LED bar is a much safer alternative to candles or oil lamps.
Will the bar overheat if I leave it on all day?
No. The 8 watt LED and ABS housing are designed for continuous use. The bar runs at a safe, low temperature even after 24 hours of operation. You can leave it on for safety lighting, nighttime navigation, or as a closet light without any thermal risk.
Is the mounting strong enough that the bar will not fall on someone in the middle of the night?
The adhesive pads are rated to hold several times the weight of the bar. As long as the cabinet surface is clean and dry at install, the bar stays firmly in place. For extra security in high traffic areas or earthquake zones, the screw in clips offer a permanent mechanical mount.
Does the bar contain any hazardous materials?
The bar is made of ABS plastic and standard LED components, with no mercury, no lead, and no hazardous chemicals. It is RoHS compliant and safe for use in kitchens, bedrooms, and children's rooms. The materials are also recyclable at end of life.
Can I use this light in a senior's bedroom or assisted living space?
Yes. The simple rocker switch, cool running LEDs, and bright 400 lumen output make it ideal for senior living spaces. It is often used for nighttime navigation, reading light, and closet lighting. The corded plug in design also means there are no batteries for a senior to replace or fumble with.
Will the light cause glare that could bother sensitive eyes?
The bar is mounted under a cabinet or shelf, which directs the light downward onto the work surface. This indirect placement reduces direct glare and keeps the light source out of the line of sight. For users with light sensitivity, the bar is much easier on the eyes than an exposed bulb or overhead fixture.
Is it safe to install in a damp location like a laundry room or basement?
The bar is rated for dry indoor locations. In a damp laundry room or basement, make sure the power outlet is GFCI protected and avoid direct exposure to water. The bar itself is not waterproof, so it should be mounted away from sinks, washing machine overflow, and other moisture sources.
Does the bar have any safety certifications?
The Maylit bar is designed to meet common US safety standards for plug in LED fixtures. It uses a standard 120V plug, UL style components, and an ABS housing rated for indoor use. For specific certification paperwork, contact Maylit support with your model number.
What is the safest way to mount this in a rental apartment with kids?
Use the adhesive pads for a no holes install, and add the screw in clips if you want extra security. Route the cord along the back edge of the cabinet and secure it with small cord clips. This combination keeps the bar out of reach of small children and prevents the cord from being pulled.
How do I install the Maylit 14 inch under cabinet light bar?
Clean the underside of the cabinet or shelf with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry. Peel the backing off the included adhesive pads and press the bar firmly into place for 30 seconds. For a more permanent mount, use the included screw in clips and a screwdriver. Plug the 3.9ft power cord into a standard 120V outlet, click the inline rocker switch, and the bar lights up. The full install takes about 5 minutes.
Can I link multiple bars together, and how many can I connect?
Yes. Each bar includes a direct connector for end to end linking and a 4.9ft cable for spacing bars apart. You can chain two, three, or more bars from a single power outlet. For the maximum number of bars on one run, follow the wattage limits on the included instructions or contact Maylit support for guidance on your specific configuration.
How do I clean and maintain the light bar?
Wipe the bar with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, or spray cleaners directly on the LEDs. Keep the adhesive mounting surface clean and dry for the best long term hold. The LEDs are rated for tens of thousands of hours, so no bulb changes are needed.
Will this work with a smart plug or voice assistant?
Yes. The bar uses a standard 120V plug, so it works with any smart plug, smart switch, or voice controlled outlet. Plug the bar into the smart device, then control it with your phone, Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit depending on the smart plug you choose. The inline rocker switch still works as a manual override.
Does this work with a dimmer switch?
The Maylit 14 inch bar is not dimmable and is designed to run at a fixed 400 lumen output. Plugging it into a wall dimmer is not recommended and can cause flicker or damage. For variable brightness, control the bar with a smart plug that supports on and off scheduling, or pair it with separate dimmable lamps in the same room.
What is included in the box?
The box includes one Maylit 14 inch LED light bar, adhesive mounting pads, screw in mounting clips, screws and anchors, a 3.9ft power cord, and a 4.9ft linkable connector cable. You will need a standard 120V outlet within reach of the power cord. No additional accessories are required for a basic install.
Is the bar safe to leave plugged in all the time?
Yes. The bar is designed for continuous plug in use and draws only 8 watts. The LEDs run cool, the housing is stable, and there is no battery to overcharge. Many customers leave the bar plugged in 24/7 as a low level night light or closet light.
What is the warranty on the Maylit 14 inch bar?
Warranty terms depend on the seller, but Maylit products sold through major retailers typically include a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Keep your proof of purchase and contact Maylit support with your order number if you have an issue. Most warranty claims are resolved with a replacement bar.
What is the difference between under cabinet LED bars and LED puck lights?
Under cabinet LED bars like the Maylit 14 inch produce a continuous line of light that covers a wide area evenly. Puck lights create multiple round hot spots that can leave shadows between fixtures. For task lighting on counters, desks, and workbenches, bars typically give a cleaner, more even result with fewer visible fixtures.
How long do the LEDs last, and can I replace them?
The LEDs are rated for approximately 30,000 to 50,000 hours of use, which is many years of typical daily operation. The LEDs are integrated into the bar and are not user replaceable. At end of life, the entire bar is replaced rather than the individual LEDs.
