Default Undercabinet lighting ???

Chris,

What type of lighting did you install?

It the past, I've tried the halogen 'hockey pucks' and felt they put off too
much heat. I've tried Xenon 'hockey pucks' and 'light rope' and was
disappointed.

We had GE Premium No hum fluorescent lights installed with our new kitchen
cabinets installed last week. 2 13" under the cabinets and a 24" over the
sink. This setup provides accent lighting but it isn't enough for task
lighting. The Corian counter top and the Corian on the wall under the
cabinets has a light grey background. The Corian does not produce any
glare. Just the opposite. The light grey seem to absorb the light.

We are still struggling to find a way to improve the task lighting. Any
thoughts or suggestions from you or the group would be appreciated.

Jack

Absolutely! Just added undercabinet lighting to our house 3 months ago.
Luckly the low profile lighting fit within the cabinet lip so the wiring
does not show. Makes a huge difference, functionally and aesthetically. Go
for it!

I'm about to start making the upper cabinets of a kitchen project and
I was wondering if it would be a good idea to add a couple of extra
inches to the length of the cabinet and face frame to accommodate
under cabinet lighting? All suggestions welcome.
