Project Overview
The goal was to install durable, energy-efficient under-cabinet lighting with reliable controls that fit the kitchen’s workflow. We combined premium LED strips with dedicated transformers and new 3-way switching so the lights can be operated from multiple locations—perfect for busy kitchens.
- LED strip lighting: 25 feet of low-profile, hardwired LED strips for continuous, shadow-free light under the cabinets.
- Dedicated transformers: Two transformers to properly power each light strip section for stable, flicker-free operation and long service life.
- New 14/3 NM-B wiring: Approximately 40 feet of 14/3 Romex to support the new lighting runs and 3-way switch configuration with neat, concealed pathways.
- Added 3-way switches: Convenient control from two locations for smooth, everyday use.
All connections are tidy and accessible, and the finished look blends seamlessly with the kitchen’s existing layout and finishes.
Why 3-Way Switches Make a Difference
Under-cabinet lights get used constantly. With 3-way switches, you can turn them on as you enter and off as you leave—no backtracking across the kitchen. This small upgrade adds real convenience, especially in open layouts or galley-style spaces with multiple entry points.
- Better workflow: Control from two ends of the room.
- Safer prep areas: Instant, bright task lighting where you need it.
- Cleaner counters: Hardwired solution—no visible cords or plugs.
Quality You Can See
We positioned the LED strips toward the cabinet face for uniform countertop coverage and minimized glare against backsplashes. Dedicated transformers for each run ensure consistent brightness and reduce stress on components, helping the system perform reliably over time.
The result is a warm, functional glow for cooking, entertaining, and late-night snacking—without hotspots, dark patches, or bulky fixtures.
