Here is a Kelvin scale to help you understand light colours. 2700 is a great choice "LightsOnline"! Hope this helps! ClearLED.biz

This is really helpful. Our 1950's birch cabinets have been painted a shade of white inside and out. We want to put a strip of LED's inside, but don't want it to do more than illuminate what is inside and perhaps to cast a warm glow into the room.

Looks like the 2700K-3000K will work the best. Next to decide on placement.

Yes, densy, 2700K should be a great temperature for your white cabinets! I also like what you've done with lifting the cabinets up and changing out the countertop.

Placement is important! Our under-cabinet light guide (available at http://bit.ly/1bQeRmg) offers this tip: "Mounting under cabinet lights in the back of the cabinet is great, though it may cause glare if you sit in the light’s line of sight. Mounting them in the front is also good because it bounces light off the backsplash and onto the counter, but that can create a glare problem if you have reflective surfaces on both your countertop and backsplash. Keep your kitchen’s specifics in mind when planning to add under counter lights."

Hope this helps!

Also, thanks, Clear Lighting and Electrical Design!

Thank you for your encouraging comments. When we begin lighting under the cabinets I'll keep your suggestion in mind. However, the LED lighting we are putting in will be inside the cabinets (only 1/2 of three pairs of doors is shown here). What we are looking for is to light the items in the cabinet and not have the lights themselves visible. Years ago, before strips of LED were available we put mini-Christmas lights inside, running them up each side, across the top, and down each of two other places where the cabinets are hinged. They worked so nicely, and it is that effect we are trying for in an updated style.

Other than using thin LED tape and sticking it to the shelves in the cabinets, you could try puck lights, although those may be somewhat visible unless you're willing to do a little drilling (oh, that rhymed). For example, the Kichler TaskWork series: http://www.lightsonline.com/product/kichler-taskwork-xenon-disc-12v-under-cabinet-in-black-12501bk (available in other colors too)
