Some LED linear lighting fixtures used for undercabinet lighting produce what is called multi-source shadowing.

This is because they use many smaller points of light that have a directional quality.

Regardless of the color temperature or output, we bet this would be very likely to give just about anyone a headache if they are working next to it.

So while you’re testing for color and output, you might also want to take a look at the shadow pattern you’ll get. It varies with the configuration and treatment of the LED lamps in a fixture.

Some shadowing may be tolerable for an application but it does need to be considered in your selection.
