Easy Kitchen Upgrade! Install UNDER CABINET Lights in Minutes With No Tools

[@megamojo100]

Thanks for your videos years ago you show how to coil a water hose it has saved me a lot of trouble with those hose that do not want to be coiled up. Keep up the good work.

Awesome! 👍

I just installed a new kitchen and all it needs is cabinet lighting. Perfect timing. Thanks

[@purelivingforlife]

Youll love it!

IT LOOKS GREAT JESSE I REMEMBER WHEN YOU BUILT THIS KITCHENETTE

[@gunnyd9282]

Man, that countertop is drop dead GORGEOUS!!! Excellent job!

I installed those exact same under cabinet lights last year when I remodeled my kitchen. The one thing different I did that when I remodeled my kitchen is I actually put the outlets up inside the kitchen cabinets so that way the ”wall wart" was hiddenup inside the cabinet and all I had to do is drill a little hole in the back corner of the cabinet to run the wire out the bottom to plug into into the lightstrip. I also did the exact same thing as you doing switched outlets so that way I didn't have to use the little toggle switch that comes with the light kit.

This really makes under cabinet lighting work the best. Proper planning. But retrofit works great too and is a lot less work. :)

I am so glad that you are back.

Thanks for demystifing these lighting techniques

Hello 🤗 looks real nice & not too hard to install 😊 take care 🙏🇺🇲

[@larrypreston3826]

Nice to see you back again! Sorry about the jerks in the past.

[@AdrianHiggins83]

Looking good. Can you have the switch so close to the taps , is there a code?

[@purelivingforlife]

Code only applies to construction or remodel. This device isn’t subject to code in this use case. So just use good judgement and it the small switch in a place 12” away or so from a sink.

[@blackhat4968]

Easy Peasy installation. Nice Planning putting the two switched under-cabinet outlets in. But personally I did not like the stripes appearance the reflections of the lights caused on the wall tile. But looks like you chose a reflective metal style tile. So maybe on regular tile the stripes would not be as noticeable.

[@purelivingforlife]

Always good to test for your install. A space is the sum of all its surfaces. We tried a few different install ideas and the glow is the one we like the most. They do make diffusers for this strip lights which eliminates the harsh lighting.

[@tajjej3649]

My only suggestion is: Those double stick mounting bases, the ones I've used, will come unstuck it the air temperature around them gets a bit high or maybe repeated excess temps. I have used them to route a single CAT-7 cable and it came free. (And, yes, I cleaned areas where I stuck the mounts.)

[@purelivingforlife]

There's levels. For some a double stick no tool required base is what they need. For others we get out the big guns. Nice to have options :) Agreed on heat being a problem for the double stick base if heavily loaded in a gravity installation.

One quick question: what is the life expectancy of these strips? I tried rope lighting under my cabinets several years ago, and it had to be replaced after about a year. I also tried some button-style lights with magnetic bases that switch from white to blue to green to red. They lose their grip quickly and fall out of the magnetic holder (mounts). Furthermore, each light requires three AAA batteries, that need to be replaced with alarming frequency (not rechargeable). Your system certainly looks appealing to me. Thanks for sharing!

[@purelivingforlife]

As all LEDs it’s many thousand hours. We just replaced a set that had a gel coating to diffuse the light which had yellowed over 4 years. The lights work fine but the yellowing wasn’t great. The newer strip lights don’t have this costing so they should last for a very long time.

Looks very nice, good job with the instruction too.

[@bret354]

While they look good, why wouldn't you face them downward towards the countertop

[@purelivingforlife]

Lots of ways to do it. Down facing created more a bowling alley look with the butcher block epoxy top. It works but it is more harsh. Every installation is unique so try a few things and stick with what you like!

[@terriepeterson4429]

Don't like the huge plug for each light 😒

[@purelivingforlife]

They all 'em a wall wart for a reason. :) Its necessary to change voltage for the LEDs sadly. Of course spend more money and lots of options out there without the wall wart, but more work and more $$

[@reb4898]

I can do this without his help…he will like that
