How to Install Under-Cabinet Lighting

Eric Stromer shares his trade secret on how to easily install under-cabinet lighting beneath any cabinets around your home, especially the kitchen.

Step 1: See the Light
It’s easy to install under-cabinet lighting beneath any cabinets around your home, especially the kitchen. For an energy-efficient option, go for LED lights. The bulbs have a long life and they’re dimmable.

Step 2: Bright Bulb
Halogen is a nice light, but it burns very hot and bright, and isn’t very energy-efficient.

Step 3: Cool Change
Florescent lights are energy-efficient, but aren’t dimmable—and they don’t produce heat.

Step 4: Best of All Worlds
For a middle-of-the-road option, try xenon. It’s cheaper than LED, but is energy-efficient, is dimmable, and produces cool light.

Items You'll Need for this GMC Trade Secret

  • LED, halogen, florescent or xenon lights
