Default Kitchen Cabinet Lighting

Has any one had a positive experience with getting kitchen cabinet lighting installed? If so could you recommend to me who did it. Thanks

We had it done, it's just great. I'll PM you with the info when I look it up. Maybe you'd like to see ours before you decide.

I have retrofitted under and over cabinet lighting. It's quite doable. Ask away if you have questions.

Edit: by retrofit I mean there was no lighting and I added it. They are powered by hardwired household current, just like a built in lights, in fact they are.

We just installed battery operated under cabinet lighting last week. Looks great and operates via remote control unit. Seems
like it will be easy to replace (AA) batteries also.

I put lights under my cabinets using strong magnets. The lights have 3 modes, high, med & low. USB used for recharging. Each light bar is 6 inches long. I’ve been very happy with my choice. Purchased at HM Depot

We had LED strip lights installed above and below our kitchen cabinets and we could not be happier. The lights cast a beautiful soft white light onto the items displayed above the cabinets and light up the counter top below the cabinets. We have two slider separate dimmer controls for the lights.

The electrician installed the lights before the new backsplash was installed because the wire had to be "buried" behind the wall to go around the window in the kitchen. This way, every cabinet, including above the pantry is lit up.

We had Hayes Electric install the lights. Their number is (352) 536-3400. Ask for Vinny. He is did a fantastic job. Vinny gave us a choice as to which way the lights strips would face so not to cast a harsh light on the counter tops. Have I said I LOVE these lights?

My friend had the stick-on under cabinet lights installed when her house was built. Only cost her well over $900. The Villages said they would last for “years”. I guess 18 months is more than 1 year so it can be considered “years”. When she called warranty they said tough luck. It was beyond 1 year. She got the installer. He said it was $85 to come out. He informed her it was the transformer. Another $85 to come back and $150 for the transformer. She decided to call the manufacturer, Kitchler, they told her 2 years on the transformer. So she wound up saving the $150. She loves the lighting but buyer beware.

We had a great experience with, Alex. In fact, once he was in our village, about ten other neighbors employed him for additional lighting projects.
