Under Cabinet Lighting help

8 years ago

Hi!

I am having an incredibly hard time trying to figure out my under cabinet lighting at a new build. The electrician has pulled one wire to the left of the range hood, 1 to the right of the range hood, and one all the way to the right in the picture next to the fridge.

I would like to put 5 undercabinet light units in here (like the GE Enbrighten LED light) but I cannot find a product that is direct wire AND linkable.

I'm not sure if it would look as night with 1 light to the left of the range hood, 1 light next to the fridge, and just 1 light for the other 3 cabinets. I know that I can buy a linkable plug-in light and then have the electrician use a converter box, but then I would need 3 converter boxes and I think they would probably be visible under the cabinet.

If you are good at electrical Q & A, I could really use your suggestions!! Thank you!!!

That’s your ekectrician’s problem. If you told him what you want, he’s supplying it.

If transformers for custom-length LED lights stick out from under your cabinets, you can always put them in your cabinets.

Here is a hardwire linkable unit that should do the job. There are other companies making these units so you electrician should be able to order them.

Would suggest adding a light valance, unless you cabinet bottoms are recessed.

Wow! Thanks, Kitchen Abode Ltd! That is exactly the type of product I was looking for! The only concern I have is I'm not sure I'm ready to spend $550 on undercabinet lighting. Definitely something to consider though

Thanks, though they are a bit pricey these are high quality units. Also, they may not end up being that much more if your electrician has to play around trying to make something else work. Electricians are expensive, these units go in fast.
