How to install LED Strip Lights - Under Cabinet Lightstrips for your Smart Home!

Sponsored by Vocolinc.
Today we are installing lightstrips above and below the cabinets in the kitchen. We will customize the lightstrips to accommodate gaps in our cabinets. This can be useful when you have a microwave or a window where you need a gap in your lightstrip. The final result will be professional cabinet lighting that works with our HomeKit smart home.

How do I get them to stick under cabinets… it keep falling🙏🏻

[@ronjoe1]

Great video. If I had one suggestion to any budding installer...move the light strips a little forward under the cabinets. It will shed more light on the actual counter by allowing the light to spread out. Just play with it to get the right setup for you.

[@davelindenmuth1421]

If I were doing this project, I’d go through the cabinets on either side of the microwave and through the cabinet above the microwave. That eliminates concern about the wire falling and also protects it from heat and steam from the stovetop.

[@Euain]

Thank you for posting this video. I was holding out on installing under cabinet lighting due to technology changing so quickly and not being happy with what was on the market. Now watching your review, I'm confident that this lighting kit will meet my needs!

[@ShaneCreates]

Thanks for watching!

[@jeffostroff]

Good video. when you install these light strips, don't put them so close to back wall, all we see are hot spots on the back wall, and not much lighting on the center of the counter. A Lot of pro installers make this mistake also. This is more important as you age because the elderly can't tolerate glare of the backsplash as a useful lighting source. By mounting your LED strips closer to the front of the cabinet, the counters will be more evenly lit without the glare.

[@ShaneCreates]

Thanks for the tip! I actually intended for mine to be more of an accent light than functional lighting for the counter so I kinda wanted it to light up the backsplash. But I definitely hear you. I've been thinking about getting some diffusers to put the strips in... maybe a future update.

[@bongobill2000]

I’ve installed these in several applications and the best result I’ve have found is no more than 3” front the front of the cabinet and no less than 2”...if they are too close to the cabinet front they tend to shadow the front of the countertop....between 2 and 3” work the best

@@ShaneCreates I actually was going to ask you about diffusers. Do you have any that you would recommend?

[@indycog]

First, I love that your making a Homekit smart home and sharing your info when most people are going the amazon or google route. Second, I was trying to figure out how to run power becuase ive been wanting to do this and I completely forgot about the plug by the hood. Genius! Thanks again for taking the time to record and share this!

This was awesome! I'm so glad I came across this and found a solution to routing the cabling under the microwave!

[@jordanlawrence2370]

Your videos are very well thought out and you are meticulous! Love it!! Although, I am hesitant to purchase anything that doesn’t have thread built in at this point. Thread seems to be the way to go, my router seems to be giving me issues now since I have so many devices connected to it directly. Keep these videos coming Shane!

[@ShaneCreates]

Thanks Jordan!!

[@robertmaurice]

Good video and I like the fact that you installed them to the back of the cabinets. That’s the way I did mine too. I didn’t want to see the strip and my goal was to highlight the backsplash. I still get plenty of light. The only difference I did was I continued under the microwave. My microwave was the same level as the cabinets so now I have lighting that highlight my professional range too.

[@reallyretro]

Thank you for this tutorial! It just proves that you do not need a solderer to do this correctly, and have it look great in the process 👍

[@jeg3224]

I've been wanting to change out my current under cabinet lights w/ light strips, so I'm glad you made this video for me to get some ideas. QUESTION: Did you consider going around the under perimeter of the cabinets? Or even going having them on the outer edge of the cabinets versus the inner edge (as you installed them here)?

[@davelundergoesunder]

Excellent video. Thank you for making it.

Ohmyword Shane - you're a life saver!

[@starlightwolves1525]

Thanks for the vid. I was actually hoping you would have a little more detail on the adhesive and how well the strips hold to the wooden surfaces. The choices are pretty limited, either the balsa wood(?) underneath or the finished wood on the lip. I actually plan to do the perimeter but it’s nice to know a single strip does just fine.

[@manuelrodriguez3468]

Hi again Shane, awesome upgrade and your wife’s happy what else you can ask. The Meross outdoor plug that I received doesn’t turn on. So I received the refund just in time with the news of the new Wemo outdoor plug. I buy it and have plans to open it up tomorrow let’s see how it works. One month ago I bought a Vocolinc LS2 with the extension. I put it in my living room and it works great. I use your older video to expose the lights effects to HomeKit and have created scenes with it. I’m planning to buy another Vocolinc light strip with an extension to put it over my cabinets. And with the news that you gave us about the adaptive lighting it will be better. Thanks again!

[@ShaneCreates]

Awesome! Well about the light strips and effects...not so much about your outdoor plug. I actually just bought one of those also, but I haven't taken it out of the box yet. Hopefully I'll have better luck. I did see the Wemo outdoor plug also. That looks like a good one. And yes, I will also be quite happy if they do actually bring adaptive lighting to these light strips! Thanks for watching!

[@MitchellDeShazer]

Thank you for sharing!

[@donaldrichardson7363]

great video & love the music!!

[@user-xg1fu1su2w]

Looks awesome!

[@rob_over_9000]

Couple ideas Shane: 1) You may be able to get some wood channel to hide it so it doesn't look so obvious, but I probably would've run it in the corner and just notch the shelves there instead. 2) You also may want to look into a plastic channel diffuser over them so they create a more even lighting field, that should make for a rather even distribution.

[@ShaneCreates]

Thanks for the suggestions Rob. I didn't care much about a diffuser since you can't actually see the LEDs, but I'm noticing you can actually see a reflection on the countertop at times. So that's something I might end up doing.

[@BVonBuescher]

@@ShaneCreates Dude. On a total side note. This entire comment section is like a bunch of guys standing around the hood of your car telling you how they would’ve done it while you’re in there trying to get shit done. Jokes aside your patience is impressive. Good, sir. I think it looks way dope, and I definitely learned a couple things from the video.

[@kayliehanguyen9076]

Thanks for the tips

[@homekitlife-automacaoresid9407]

Very informative video, Shane! Let us know about the scenes. 👍👊

[@ShaneCreates]

Thanks! You can create these scenes with either the VOCOlinc app or another 3rd party HomeKit app, such as Home+4 app.

[@isleseayou]

Awesome instructions Shane, as always. Great video. I’ll be using these for Xmas light on the exterior of my home. Thank you

[@SunshineFL]

I needed this

[@macminn18]

Great video. We'd like under and over cabinet lighting as well as toe kick lighting in our new kitchen. Our old kitchen had it but was halogen. Love the ability to set different scenes. Could you hook these light strips into a dimmer switch?

[@josephjohnson8502]

Great video. Thanks for the info. Subbed.

[@johnowens5207]

Maybe it’s not new but I really appreciate the fact that whenever you send Alexa you edited the volume down so I would not trigger devices nearby. Sometimes it’s the little things.

[@ModernDayTech]

Well done bro. It was worth a second view.

[@ShaneCreates]

Thanks Eric! 🙏🏻

[@esyew]

You may also be able to just use electric tape/ other high light blocking to just cover the lights, which is what I did

[@michaelbarkey2489]

Great video

[@StringCentral]

I really like that you prefer to have a physical switch as well as the app. That's definitely one of my concerns with adding smart devices to my home.

[@ShaneCreates]

Yes, I learned real quick to not forget about everyone else in the house (or guests). At the end of the day, most will just go to that wall switch to turn on the light.

[@maritza5808]

@@ShaneCreates that's my concern. We're knee deep in gutting our kitchen and I want under cabinet lighting. I'd like to just hit a switch and maybe use the app if I want to change scenes. What kind of switch did you use and where didnyou place it? Thanks!

[@ShaneCreates]

@@maritza5808 If you are using HomeKit like I am, you can use any smart HomeKit button. I like the Flic and the Aqara buttons. I use both. Both do require a hub also. You can place these anywhere. Another is the Wemo Stage that doesn't require a hub.

[@Homerunhittergirl]

You’re wify also needs handles or knobs on her cabinets. Highly recommend. The moment my husband and I moved into our condo, the first thing I bought for the kitchen were handles and a jig to put in handles.

[@ShaneCreates]

Great tip! We actually did install hardware. 😃 if you look real close at some of the b roll shots of the finished project you’ll be able to see them. I agree, it makes a big difference!

[@Homerunhittergirl]

[@bullyhomestead7232]

If you run the cable on the inner lip of the cabinets so you don’t see it dangling when you open the doors.

[@koobiluphi1]

At one point you demonstrated how to use a button to toggle a light using shortcut rules. It was awesome and worked great for me until recently. Did the process for this change in a recent update?

[@smerdonw]

Thanks for the video. While looking for parts on Amazon, I see other kits for connectors. A couple kits have a splitter which I think could be used to go right/left for under the cabinets from a center cabinet. I have two areas, above the stove and above the fridge, where I have a cabinet which will have outlets I could use this arrangement. Anyone setup their lighting this way?

[@munk58]

Great job...amen

[@chadm6805]

I like the look. And my kitchen layout it almost identical. How long is the power cord? I want to do the same thing with power from the microwave

[@michaelamira4592]

I realize this is an older video, but you did such a good job, I ordered the kit. Same setup to go under cabinets and on top. If you read this, question is, how do you get the under and over cabinets to work independently? Maybe it will be clear when I get it in front of me and watch install video. Thanks

[@mayorart1]

When the LED's transition under the microwave area, above the range, is that considered a fire hazard and should be better protected? Granted it is low voltage wiring.

[@uniqueflh2941]

Great video Shane! As video can often skew the ‘true’ effect of lighting, how well do these strips actually provide brightness? I am insanely (probably psychopathically) detail oriented in regards to making an installation look ‘clean’. My thought is to install this type of lighting on the outermost ‘lip’ above & below the cabinets (seems that everyone else puts them on the ‘wall side’, facing out). So that the LED strips themselves will never be seen, and the light would shine towards the wall. Are these bright enough to install that way? Thanks for the upload.

[@ShaneCreates]

Thanks Brad! I played around with that a bit and they definitely looked better, and lit up that backsplash better, the closer I got the the wall. There are probably brighter lightstrips out there, but you may have to pay twice as much. The affordable cost and those light effects exposed to HomeKit are the selling points for this particular lightstrip imo.

[@bram3446]

I've a 12v adapter now, but I lights 50% of the led lights at good light, if I but a 24v adapter, will it be a powerfuller light?

[@michaelmeadows9374]

While it's true that an LED light kit does not consume much power, the outlet located in the cabinet is a dedicated circuit for the microwave in is not supposed to power any other devices. It works in this instance and I am sure others have made it work.... it's just worth noting for anyone who may consider doing that type of project. The lighting effect does look pretty cool though.

[@ShaneCreates]

Hey Michael, thanks for pointing that out. Definitely worth noting. I wouldn't plug anything major in there, but it should be fine for something that draws such a small amount of power such as a light strip.

[@stephensnediker2841]

What happens if you go over the 13 ft and how do you connect and match lighting after that max length?

[@lifewithjohnny9724]

Hi Shane, how are the light strips holding up after 1 year? Are the strips mounted under the cabinets falling down with the steam and heat from cooking appliances? Also are these strips as good as hue in terms of reliability?

[@danleigh6927]

Hi Shane Just a couple questions .. What lengths can the light stripes be cut at ? Second question ..Do you know how often you can you use the wire connector to fill in gaps . Example you gave was around your microwave. I have three gaps in my kitchen spanning three feet on each side .Thank you for your help.

[@teslamodelxdaniel8260]

What type of drill bit did you use on the cupboards and shelves? Thanks

[@notbearygoodgeek2467]

gonna try this with the nanoleaf lightstrip. i'm just worried because that lightstip has a plastic casing around it

[@Beendead666]

Shane can you change the color of each individual section of light? For example the above Blue counter top red and toe kick white? If I wanted to install toe kick as well as counter top and above cabinet all with Separate controls will they change or is RF frequency on same channel for the remote?

[@PROinstal]

Very good

[@panplayer]

How warm do these lights get? I just purchased an Embrighten kit, which is basically a strip inside an aluminum frame. Gets WAAAAAAY too hot. So I need to change it out with something.

[@naz7840]

How many gaps can you add into the strip light? For example, i want to use one strip and add 4 gaps for the cabinet sides where I dont want light.

[@Mandy_39]

I believe that wire is just for RGB lights right? What wire & connectors do I use if I have white lights only & need to jump them?

[@F_K3NT_D]

Was hoping to see what you did with the strips between the cabinets

[@robertschmidt327]

I worry about that extension crossing above the cooktop. I doubt that’s code friendly. Certainly not if it were line voltage. High risk of melting and becoming a fire hazard.

[@moderateh-bomb6615]

This was a great video, helped me out a lot. One thing, doesn't seem Vocolinc doesn't like the US Market. Oh well...not like there aren't a ton of other options.

[@ShaneCreates]

True, there are lots of good options nowadays. Vocolinc has struggled unfortunately in the past year to keep products in stock. I don't think it's just a US thing.

[@futbol1972]

Iam debating between buying the RGBW strip or just the black and decker lights to install under kitchen cabinets?

[@georgew7405]

Finally someone explained and showed us how to install the strip lights under the microwave. Thanks brother. Love the details in the video. 2 question, the other light above the cabinets, Is that a separate kit you bought with the same app or is it the same strip?...can I buy any light strip and use the the extender wire you have in the video, as long as it's 4 wires?

[@michaelamira4592]

I had same question today after watching.

[@tristanmayer]

Hey Shane, getting awesome future ideas down for my new house when we purchase one soon! this is really useful DIY trick but i just want to know how safe those clips are? (Electrical fire safety wise...) since you're cutting the light strip and extending it differently to manufacture recommendations? Thanks

[@ShaneCreates]

Hey Tristan, I'm no electrician. But these type of connectors and kits are common on amazon and can be found for all types of light strips. And people have been soldering light strips like this for a long time. This is just a way to do the same thing without soldering it. Of course, always consult an electrician if uncertain about any project involving electricity.

[@islandsnow]

Were you lucky that your measurement allowed you to cut on that solder point? What if you had to cut in between a soldered point? Same principle? Just strip it? Also is your underneath of cabinet flat throughout the bottom?Great video btw!

[@vikingbeard5794]

This is so sick! Tbh I need advice on how to get stuff set up, things just don’t work hahaha

[@imsoicen]

Do you think the extension wire would get messed up from the heat from cooking?

[@jaydiaz1294]

Thanks for the video. It was hard finding a cabinet lighting video with a backsplash already up. I have two questions if you can help me out. (#1) Is the extension in the kit used for separating light effects? Meaning, is an extension going from above the cabinet to underneath the cabinet will allow colors or patterns to be different. (#2) I have 3 separate locations of cabinets I would like to have lighting. 2 areas are separated by a wall and the other is across the way. In order to have above and lower lighting at all 3 locations, will I need 3 kits and will these 3 kits all function on the same app?

[@cusimilooking4965]

I bought an under lighting fixure to go above my sink. It's one of those LED new types. I'm frustrated because it has 3 plugs that supposedly plug into a type of electrical box ( I don't have that...all I have is a live wire that goes into the old fixure). The new light fixure comes with hardware that is identical to the way my old fixure is secured to the live wire from the wall and into the fixure itself. Then there are three electrical cables from the new fixure that have been terminated with these large plugs that look like the old telephone line plugs that are used in old home telephone lines, only bigger in size. So what do I do know?

[@ukwedasun6776]

But must one use a profile aluminium for the light strips or just the strip and a gum can also serve?

[@umutbayrak]

He Shane, is there any video where U show this scene with the l light flashing that fast?
