Power for Under Cabinet Lighting

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago

We didn't get the option to select under cabinet lights at our house but I definitely want to install some LED strips under the cabinets. I want to have a switch at the backsplash and would prefer to have it hardwired, but don't want to spend too much money to route new wires.
All the cabinets are along the same wall. I labeled each outlet.


Outlet "d" is for low voltage phone jack, but we don't really care for keeping it.

We had the chance to take some photos before the dry wall went up so, I was hoping I can get the expertise on this forum to see if there is any chance to pull power from any of the existing circuit.

Outlet "a" and "b" were too low and was later moved to backsplash height.



Wires to e, i and range hood seems to all come out from c.
I know it's against the code to simply pull power from the small appliance outlet. Would any of the gazillion outlets not be considered to be one for "small appliance"?Or could I draw power from the range hood line?

Thanks in advance.
