Light the Work Surface Beneath Your Cabinets
Under-cabinet lighting needs to follow the cabinets and illuminate the counter without making the fixture or wiring unnecessarily prominent. Cabinet depth, trim, gaps and reflective surfaces affect placement. The selected system also determines whether it uses a driver, direct line-voltage connections or another supply arrangement.
Your Body Blocks the Ceiling Light
Standing at the counter can cast a shadow directly over the task. Light beneath the cabinets approaches the surface from a more useful position.
Separate Cabinet Sections Create Dark Gaps
A short fixture at one end may not cover the full worktop. The run needs to account for cabinet breaks and the areas used most.
Temporary Lights Leave Visible Cords
Plug-in arrangements may occupy counter outlets or leave wiring exposed. A planned system can account for the supply and connection routes.

They also stopped what they were doing and drove to Cornelius because i needed my outside lights fixed ASAP. I would highly recommend using Ben'z for any of your electrical needs.

Benz Electric resolved an ongoing issue in a short visit. I had a new water heater installed by Total Plumbing and have not had hot water for about 2 weeks. They came out 3 times and finally said it was the circuit breaker.Read on Google ↗
The electrician checked everything and determined they had installed a commercial heater and it wouldn’t work in a residential house. All of the specifications exceeded the residential requirements.
Thanks to Benz Electric. I would recommend them to anyone requiring their services.

Task Lighting Planned Along the Cabinet Run
The aim is useful counter illumination with a supply and control arrangement that suits the cabinetry.
Illumination Closer to Detailed Tasks
Fixtures below the cabinets put light nearer food preparation and other counter work.
Coverage Across Separate Work Areas
Planning the fixture lengths and gaps helps distribute light along the surfaces you use.
A Considered Wiring and Driver Location
Choosing the connection route and equipment position keeps practical access and appearance part of the plan.
Your Next Steps
Planning Under-Cabinet Task Lighting
Cabinet dimensions, breaks and existing outlets determine more than the choice of light strip or bar.
01
Show the Cabinet and Counter Layout
Send photos and approximate run lengths. Identify dark work areas and any fixtures or cords you want replaced.
02
Review Fixture Runs and Supply Locations
The product, cabinet details and route between sections guide placement, driver access and control choices.
03
Mount and Connect the Lighting
The agreed work fits the selected fixtures or channels and connects the included power supply and control.
04
Check Counter Coverage and Adjustment
The installed lights are operated to review the illuminated areas and any included dimming.
Cabinet Lighting Channels and Controls
The sequence illustrates a channel installation, review of lighting components and a dimmer check.
Fastening a Lighting Channel
The electrician attaches the under-cabinet channel in a pantry before completing the lighting run.
Reviewing the Cabinet Lighting Components
The homeowner and electrician discuss the system and placement before installation.
Checking the Completed Dimmer
The installed under-cabinet lights are operated from the finished control.
Show Us the Counter Areas That Need Task Lighting
Send the cabinet run, breaks between sections and nearby power points. Tell us whether you want a dedicated switch or dimming.
Before You Book
Under-Cabinet Lighting Installation FAQs
Plan the fixture, wiring route and controls together so the lights suit both the counter and the cabinetry.
Are Light Bars or LED Strips Better?
The cabinet shape, desired appearance and product specifications determine the better fit. Bars, strips and channels have different mounting, power and service requirements; share the layout before choosing.
Can the Wiring Be Hidden?
Routing depends on cabinet construction, gaps and available wall access. Discuss the visible portions and any required openings before assuming every connection can be concealed.
Where Does the Driver Go?
If the selected system uses a driver, it needs a suitable location with access consistent with its instructions. Cabinet space and the wiring route affect that choice.
Can the Lights Be Dimmed?
Some systems support dimming with a compatible driver and control. A dimmable strip alone does not establish that every power supply and wall dimmer will work with it.
Will the Countertop Reflect the Light Source?
Reflective surfaces can make individual points or the fixture itself more noticeable. Fixture position, diffusion and the selected product should be considered against the actual countertop.
Can You Add Lighting Without Replacing the Cabinets?
Existing cabinetry can often be part of the project, but mounting and cable access need assessment. Send photos of the underside, trim and gaps so the work can be planned around what is there.
