They have a very shallow profile too, allowing them to fit in small spaces. Plus, many can be cut to size and simply adhered to the underside of cabinets, installed under a toe kick, or even used outdoors for decks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3 Things to Consider with Under Cabinet Lighting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. &nbsp;Size &amp; Placement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, make sure your lights are shallow enough to stay hidden behind the cabinet face. A simple measurement is all it takes to confirm the fixture will tuck neatly out of sight into the lip of the cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For best results, choose a finish that closely resembles your cabinets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure even lighting across the counter, use light bars that closely match the width of your cabinets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re using puck lights instead, place them 8-12&#8243; apart for even light distribution, or space them out further to create pockets of light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>QUICK TIP:<\/strong>&nbsp;Mount fixtures close to the front of your cabinets to get the best possible distribution of light across the counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Power Source<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, think about how you want to power your lighting: Plug-in or Direct Wire. Many product families are available in either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/products\/under-cabinet-lights\/type_plug@in\/\">Plug-In Under Cabinet Lights<\/a>:<\/strong>&nbsp;These<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>designs are easy to install.

Light Source<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By far the most versatile, popular and practical choice is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/products\/under-cabinet-lights\/type_led\/\">LED under cabinet lightin<\/a>g, but there are a number of other options available too, including fluorescent, xenon, and halogen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LED lighting is also the most energy efficient and long-lasting. Moreover, because it emits very little heat when on, it is perfect for use under kitchen cabinets, where food may be stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best of all, LED can produce a range of colors, from warm to cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extra Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you&#8217;ve got the basics down, here are a few extra features to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2022 Remote Controls:<\/strong> Some under cabinet lighting is operable by remote control, offering features like on\/off, dimming and color-changing functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2022 Dimmers:<\/strong> Putting under cabinet lights on a dimmer allows you to brighten them for tasks like meal preparation and dim them for ambience.
