Under-cabinet lighting for a 10 ft kitchen
Updated
Project steps
Sketch the cabinet sections
For this 10 ft kitchen project, measure the usable space under each cabinet rather than treating the kitchen length as one continuous light run. Mark dividers, corners and gaps on the sketch.
Choose bars and connections
Compare the published bar sizes below against each measured cabinet section. A linking cord crosses a gap; check the exact-model instructions before joining bars, and check the product page for any missing compatibility or load limit.
Confirm power and controls
Choose the power arrangement and switching before installation. Before wiring, turn off power at the breaker, follow local code and use a licensed electrician if unsure. Follow the instructions supplied with the exact light.
