Default I can see the light - kitchen cupboard pelmets

Any other ideas?


Put some draught excluder foam in the gaps.


The IKEA pelmets come with a strip of foam tape (thin version of
draught proofing tape) to stick along the top edge of the pelmet
for exactly this purpose.

Incidentally, I fix the lights to the back of the pelmet rather
than the underside of the cupboard, but these are just a bare
T5 fluorescent tube held by terry clips with remote electronic
gear. You want the lights as near the front of the cupboards as
you can position them to minimise reflections from the work
surface and shiney items on it into your eyes when working on
the worktop.
