Under-Cabinet Lighting FAQs
Common questions about under-cabinet lighting installation.
How much does under-cabinet lighting cost?
Under-cabinet lighting installation starts at $200 for basic plug-in LED strip systems. Hardwired systems connected to a switch or dimmer typically run $300-500 depending on linear footage and electrical access. A licensed electrician handles any new circuit or panel work.
What's better LED strips or puck lights?
LED strips provide even continuous illumination across the full length of the cabinet. Puck lights offer focused accent or task lighting at specific points. I recommend based on your countertop use and the look you want.
Yes, I route wiring inside the cabinet body and through the cabinet backs to minimize visible cord runs. For plug-in systems, I position the cord exit point near an existing outlet. Hardwired installs are fully concealed.
Do I need an electrician for this?
Under-cabinet lighting connections to existing circuits are part of my scope. New dedicated circuits or panel work requires a licensed electrician, which I can help coordinate as part of the overall project.
Can you add dimmer switches?
Yes, I install dimmer switches for hardwired under-cabinet systems so you can drop the lighting to ambient level in the evenings without turning it off entirely.
