The wife decided that she wants LED under-cabinet lighting under
the four cabinets. I've found the fixtures and power supply online,
but the interconnecting wiring has me confused. I've found various
lengths cables with molded connectors (outrageously priced), but
what I want to do is buy wire and connectors and make them up
myself because a couple of the runs are long, and I don't want to
have to drill holes big enough to pass a connector through.

Are these special connectors? Are they available on line? What gauge
wire do I need to use?

Thanks in advance for any information.

Depending on power supply, that will determine the wiring requirement.
I wire up my own
using Cree warm white led's. I can't stand bluish, which most are.

Here are some components for wiring cabinets. Buying your own you need
to know the specs first.
I would not even use connectors. There are a zillion types.

Thanks. I did run across that site in my travels. The prices are
reasonable, too.
