THE QUICK TAKE
Is it right for you?
Choose it for repositionable lighting on a suitable metal surface. Magnetic attachment is the useful difference from the basic white T5, while individual switches let you choose which shelves are lit.
Skip it if you assume magnets stick to glass or every metal cabinet panel. They need a magnetic surface; the supplied adhesive-backed metal pieces introduce a separate adhesive bond. Eight bars can also be excessive for a small display.
01 / BUYING NOTES
Before you buy.
Check the surface, not just the cabinet name.
The fixture can attach to a suitable magnetic surface. Glass and aluminum need a different attachment method. Test the real surface and support the light while checking the hold.

The black NF10 version adds magnetic mounting while retaining separately switched fixtures. Its adhesive-backed metal pieces are an alternative mounting interface, not proof of universal surface compatibility.
