Plug-In Under Cabinet Lighting

A little extra light in your home or workspace can make a huge impact. And the addition of plug-in under cabinet lighting is a simple, easy-to-install way to brighten kitchen counters, shelves, workbenches or any area where reliable task lighting matters. This type of lighting is a simple DIY job to install. Just attach the light to the underside of the cabinet, then use an under cabinet receptacle or other electrical outlet to plug-in to.

To figure out which plug-in light solution is best for your needs, first examine your space. Light bars cast even, uniform light across a wider area, making them ideal for cabinets and above countertops. Puck lights or tape lights are perfect for areas that require unique spacing or are oddly shaped. And many plug-in under cabinet lights implement energy-efficient LEDs that guarantee extended life wherever you install them.
