Under Cabinet LED Lighting ..... Tips On How To Install Distinction And Fashion To Your Kitchen.

Under cabinet LED lighting is an excellent way to brighten up any kitchen. A set of LED recessed lighting can cheer up and display your surfaces. It have been a major undertaking to try and install under cabinet LED lighting but the good thing is there are kits available now that make it easy. There are some ways to do the job so keep reading for a few under cabinet LED lighting How-To suggestions.

When choosing under cabinet LED lighting you have few options available. You can select either a small direct spot light or full length recessed fluorescent tubes. Both offer a stylish look to accentuate the kitchen. It just falls back on personal choice.

For the sake of convenience let's look at putting in a set of lights which doesn't need to be hardwired back to your primary circuit panel.

The first step is to go down to the hardware store and pick out an under cabinet LED lighting box.

Once you've decided on the perfect light for your kitchen, unit installation is a breeze.

Compute the entire length of your drawers. This will determine how many light bulbs you need. A good guideline is to apply 1 spot light every 18 inches.

Start the first bulb far enough from the end of the drawers to allow for equal spacing of all the lights.

Get a few small finish nails to tack the LED lights to the bottom of the cabinets. Be sure the nail is short enough that it won't protrude completely through the base of the cabinet.

Keep tacking lights up until you get to the end of the string.

Put an inline splice to the under cabinet lighting wiring as close as possible to an electrical wall socket. The cabinet lighting kit should have this included in it.

Now splice the electrical switch of the lighting into this wire. Cut down any excess line and link up an electrical plug to the end of the wire.

Next use a staple gun to staple up the electrical wiring. Be careful to center the wire in the staple to avoid cutting into the wire. If the wire is too long to lay flush in straight line between the lights you may snake it along the underside of the cabinet. Since the wires and lights are unseen it doesn't matter how the wiring is run, you can't see it.

The final step is to finish work on the lights. Working out the light string, pop bulbs into the sockets ensuring they're tight. After all the lights are hooked up simply snap on the nice covers and that's it, you're done!

Connect the LED lights and turn the switch. Keep your head under the counter to make sure that all the LED lights come on.

These few under cabinet LED lighting How-To ideas can help assist in the installation of a new kitchen lighting system. There are several options available, all you need to do is spend a little time trying to find just the right choice that works best for your kitchen.
