Maylit Smart RGB Under Cabinet Lights Kit
Score: 75/100
Cync Reveal HD+
Score: 80/100Rankings
The GE Cync Reveal HD+ is a full-color, edge-lit under-cabinet light offering high brightness and expandable smart control. Its main drawbacks are occasional Wi-Fi instability and a cumbersome power-cord design. Ideal for modern kitchens where customizable ambiance and integration with Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit are priorities.
The Maylit 10-piece Smart RGB Under Cabinet Kit offers a versatile DIY solution with music sync, timer, and voice-assistant support, delivering vibrant RGB lighting for indoor spaces. Its modest 310 lm output, lack of waterproof rating, and short power cable limit its suitability for larger or moisture-prone areas. Best for renters or hobbyists seeking customizable, feature-rich accent lighting on a budget.
