Pablo LIM C Magnetic Under-Cabinet LED Task Light, Plug-In and Dimmable

A slim plug-in LED task light for under a shelf or cabinet: it attaches magnetically, swivels where you need it and dims with an optical switch.

We suggest the LIM C for the places where a ceiling fixture leaves you working in shadow: the desk under a bookshelf, the counter beneath a wall cabinet, a craft table or a closet. The L-shaped aluminum arm holds a row of hidden LEDs along its underside, and a magnetic attachment lets you slide and turn it without tools. It plugs into a standard outlet, so there is no wiring.

Best for / where to use it

• Home offices: mounted beneath a bookshelf or wall cabinet above the desk, lighting the work surface without taking up desk space.
• Kitchens: under dry upper cabinets for prep-counter light.
• Craft rooms and workshops: a movable spot of light over a table.
• Closets and pantries: a slim fixture that needs only an outlet.
• Hotel and office desks: a plug-in task light that adds no installation cost.

Installation & planning

• Plug-in only; there is no hardwiring. Place the outlet within the 10 ft (304 cm) cord reach.
• Attach the arm to the underside of a shelf, cabinet or desk edge; the magnet lets you slide and swivel it after mounting.
• Because Pablo does not publish overall dimensions, confirm the length against your shelf before ordering.
• Use the optical switch to step through brightness; the range runs from 100 to 10 percent.
• Keep it in dry locations; Pablo lists no damp or wet rating.

Who this is not for

• Anyone who wants a hardwired fixture or a battery-powered lamp: this one needs an outlet.
• Rooms where selectable color temperature is important: it is fixed at 3000K.
• Wet or damp spots, such as over a sink or in a bathroom.
• People who need a freestanding lamp: look at the LIM360 instead.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I put the LIM C?

On the underside of a shelf, cabinet or desk edge. It shines down onto the surface below, so it suits desks, counters and workbenches.

Does it need an electrician?

No. It plugs into a standard outlet using a 10 ft (304 cm) cord. Run the cord along the back of the shelf or cabinet for a clean look.

How do I adjust the angle?

The arm attaches magnetically. You can slide it along the mounting surface and swivel it without tools.

Is it bright enough for reading and desk work?

It puts out 325 lm of 3000K warm white light from 91 LEDs. That suits desk and counter tasks, and you can dim it to 10 percent.

Will it work with the power in other countries?

The input is 120-240V at 60 Hz, and Pablo offers a global multi-plug adapter.

Does it ship assembled?

It ships flat-packed. The user guide covers setup.
