In my kitchen the layout is somewhat different.  All of the
over-the-counter cabinets contain dishes, glasses, cups or dried
spices (*lots* of spices :)) so a little extra heat there is of no
consequence.  I've been kicking around the idea of installing
under-cabinet lighting there for a while.  Xenon looks like a good
possibility for my app.  Since we have lots of dimmable ceiling cans
and other switched lights in the kitchen, I don't think I'll dim the
under-cabinet lights.  If I get around to it any time soon I'll let
you know how it works out for us.
