Usually, there is a light on one end with a plug on the other and in between the two, some sort of small attachment that allows you to attach the plug to the light. (opens in new tab)īefore we talk about drilling, it's important to understand the formation of the light.
Alternatively, if you only have one or two lights or want a less permanent solution then you can use a visible socket and simply tack the wire to hide the lights as much as possible, using wire tacks or cable clips. You can drill into your cabinets and use concealed power outlets, hiding the wires (I love this drill from Black & Decker (opens in new tab)). If you have gone for a wired lighting option then you can choose which route to take. Note too that when you’re installing them, be sure to fit them near to the front of the cabinets and aim the light so that it is shining down and inwards to reduce any glare. I'd recommend ASD LED Linear Under Cabinet Lighting 24 inch (opens in new tab) that I found on Amazon, they are easy to fit, give a warm light, are dimmable and easily adjustable too. The only thing I’d say is that some bar lights can be a little fluorescent and harsh, so go for a warmer white color.
These are my favorite style as they are easy to hide, allow for an even distribution of light, are linkable, come in a bunch of sizes making them super versatile, and they can be nice and bright, making it easier to create sections of light in desired areas. Bar lightsīar lights are essentially linear bars of light that are available in battery-operated or wired form. If you’re using the type that is fixed in, then they require more ‘fixing’ to get an even run of lights and if you’re using battery-powered round lights, then they can eat up batteries pretty quickly.

They do produce a circular light, like a spotlight and so they’re trickier to get right in terms of placement and can look uneven if you don't install them with the correct spacing.

They are a great option if you want something durable and easy to install or uninstall (ideal for renters), they’re low cost with a ton of style and light variations available, plus the light is brighter than strip lights. These from BLS Wireless Dimmable LED Puck Lights (opens in new tab) from Amazon are a good example and they come with a remote. They are circular frames with an LED light in the center, they are often available as battery-operated or remote control and with the ability to stick to a surface. Plus, once one diode goes, then the whole thing needs replacing. However, they aren’t very bright or impactful so if you’re looking for statement under cabinet lighting, keep looking my friend.
Plus, they don’t really give off heat and they are super discreet. The positives are that they are cheap, malleable, easy to install, energy efficient. They can usually just plug in and then stick to the cabinet via clips or double-sided tape (opens in new tab). Tape or strip lights like these by Wobane (opens in new tab) are essentially a thin, tape-like strip of LED lights. Here’s a rundown of the other options: Tape or strip lighting The process for installation is for the other types of under cabinet LED lighting is pretty similar but some may require drilling, so that's up to you and the look you want to achieve for your kitchen cabinets and entire space!
