Project overview
Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte team completed a clean, modern LED under-cabinet lighting upgrade for Blush Design in Charlotte, NC. Led by technician Will Cruz and supported by our Charlotte branch based in Matthews, this project delivered brighter task lighting, smooth dimming control, and an elevated look that complements the workspace. Completed on October 9, 2025, the installation focused on energy efficiency, low heat output, and a minimalist finish with concealed wiring and components.
What we installed
Our scope included low-profile LED strip lighting with protective casing, a properly sized low-voltage transformer, and a new dimmer switch for precise control. The result is even, flicker-free illumination across the countertops—ideal for food prep, design work, or any detailed task.
- Approx. 50 feet of LED under-cabinet light strip with durable casing for a uniform, high-CRI glow and a sleek, finished look.
- 1 transformer matched to the load and layout to power the LED system reliably. Note: under-cabinet strip sections typically require a dedicated transformer; for this project, one unit was installed to fit the configuration.
- New dimmer switch (compatible with 2-, 3-, or 4-way configurations) for smooth, low-to-high dimming and comfortable ambiance throughout the day.
- Courtesy credit applied for the replacement of a broken light by Touchstone, reflecting our commitment to make things right and deliver a flawless finish.
Why LED under-cabinet lighting makes a difference
- Better task visibility: Bright, focused light where you need it most—no more shadowy counters.
- Energy efficient: High-output LEDs use a fraction of the energy of traditional fixtures while running cooler.
- Clean, modern look: Slim profiles, hidden wiring, and consistent color temperature enhance any kitchen or studio.
- Comfortable control: Dimming lets you switch from bright prep lighting to soft evening ambiance instantly.
- Long-lasting: Quality components and professional installation maximize lifespan and performance.
Our installation approach
Every kitchen and workspace is different, so we begin with a careful layout review and component matching. For this Charlotte project, we mapped cabinet lengths, identified ideal transformer placement, and ensured the dimmer and driver pairing would deliver smooth performance at all light levels.
- Precise layout and measurements to eliminate dark spots and overlaps.
- Discreet, code-compliant routing with concealed connections and secure mounting.
- Driver and dimmer compatibility tested to prevent flicker, hum, or early component wear.
- Final testing and walkthrough to verify brightness, color consistency, and control from each switch location.
