You can find under-cabinet LED lighting in a variety of colors and styles to match the look and feel for any room you’re adding them to, most likely the kitchen. LED undercabinet lighting is a popular choice for kitchen lighting because it adds an upscale appearance while providing functional task lighting for food preparation.  

You can find undercabinet LED lighting kits that come with everything you need to install the lights. The kits usually include lights, a power supply, and mounting hardware.

Should You Install Undercabinet Lighting?
Undercabinet lighting can be a great addition to any kitchen. Key considerations include;

Cost: Like any purchase, you get what you pay for. Undercabinet low voltage LED lighting comes in various styles and performances. Choose higher-quality LED strips that feature more diodes and a whiter tape surface area for better performance and longer life. Also, place the LED tape in an anodized aluminum extrusion to protect the tape and increase its life.

Installation: While undercabinet lighting is relatively easy to install, it does require some basic electrical knowledge. If you are not comfortable working with electricity, you may want to hire a professional to install the lights for you.

Appearance: Undercabinet lighting can give your kitchen a modern look that has a beautiful aesthetic in addition to providing exceptional light varying from cool and gentle to bright and clear depending on your specific preferences and needs.

Where Should Undercabinet LED Lights Be Mounted?
LED extrusions are important to provide both protection to the actual LED lighting as well as create an aesthetic look that emphasizes both style and function.

You should install the strip lights closer to the middle-front of the cabinets’ edge. Too far to the front edge, and you don’t get the full light exposure on the counter that you want. Too far back, and it becomes more of ambient accent lighting. If that is what you’re going for is fine, but it’s not ideal for full light exposure to the countertop and work surface at night.
