Benefits of Under Cabinet Lighting

Cabinets can block overhead lighting and create shadows across countertops. Installing lights below the cabinets places illumination closer to the surface where you actually need it. Benefits can include:

  • Better Task Lighting & Visibility: Brighten countertops used for cooking, food preparation, reading recipes, and other daily tasks.
  • Added Style: Create accent lighting that highlights countertops, backsplashes, and cabinetry.
  • Energy Efficiency: LED under-cabinet lighting provides useful illumination while using relatively little electricity.
  • More Lighting Control: Add dimmers or compatible smart controls to adjust the lighting for different activities.
  • Cleaner Appearance: Professionally installed wiring can keep cords and electrical connections out of sight.

Whether you want under-cabinet lighting to use during meal preparation or as a way to accent your space, our team is ready to help. Contact us today for professional lighting services customized to your needs and style.

Types of Under-Cabinet Lighting We Install

There are several ways to add lighting beneath cabinets. The best option depends on the size of your space, desired brightness, and design of the cabinets.

LED Strip and Tape Lighting

LED strips provide a smooth line of light across the underside of a cabinet. Their low-profile design makes them a popular choice for kitchens, bars, shelving, and other areas where you want the fixture to stay mostly hidden.

Puck lights are small, round fixtures that provide focused areas of light. They can be spaced beneath cabinets to highlight countertops, backsplashes, displays, or work areas.

Linear fixtures provide broader, even lighting across longer countertop areas. They are available in different lengths and can be a good choice when strong task lighting is the main goal. Our under-cabinet lighting installers can help determine which fixture style, brightness, and placement work best for your space.

Why Choose Hardwired Under Cabinet Lighting?

Although plug-in lights can work as a temporary option, visible cords and occupied outlets can make your space look cluttered. Hardwired under-cabinet lighting connects directly to your home’s electrical system. Depending on the project, our electricians can install:

  • New electrical wiring
  • Wall switches
  • Dimmer controls
  • LED drivers or transformers
  • Dedicated controls for different lighting zones
  • Smart lighting installation and compatible lighting controls

A professional installation helps create a finished appearance while making the lights easier to operate.

  • Older fluorescent or inefficient fixtures

We can inspect your system, identify the cause of the issue, and determine whether a repair or lighting upgrade makes the most sense. Older fixtures can often be replaced with modern LED lighting for improved efficiency and easier maintenance.

Electrical Connection’s service was great. Josh, the technician who worked on our project, went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the results and offered solid alternatives along the way. He was detail‑oriented and did a great job covering the holes in the drywall. As with any job like this, we’ll still need to finish and paint, but he patched everything up really well. This was a major project that included replacing a breaker panel and a few other smaller improvements. I’d definitely call them again when the time comes.

Super easy to schedule and work with. We got recessed lights put into two rooms, and our electrician James was informative and helpful, being detailed and upfront throughout the job. He continued to be helpful through any questions we had. Definitely recommend!

Highly recommend Electrical Connections and Josh T specifically. We had an issue with our gas water heater, and EC / Josh were a huge help in the midst of a chaotic couple of days trying to make decisions on repair/replace, and gas vs heat pump water heaters. EC was easy to get in touch with, got me connected quickly and scheduled with Josh, who arrived on time, did a thorough inspection, and gave me a no pressure set of options to consider. He was incredibly responsive as we worked through final plumbing quotes and was able to adjust his schedule with the dispatcher to do the electrical work the same day so we could get our water heater replaced ASAP. Josh went above and beyond and was professional and a pleasure to work with throughout the process. I can’t thank Josh and EC enough for helping make this experience less stressful for our family.

Franklin was wonderful. He was so thorough and clearly walked us through the work and the issues he uncovered (including some possible fire hazards that we are SO thankful he resolved). He was also just very friendly and nice to have around! Whenever we need an electrician again, we will be happy to have him back.

Kisan Jones is an excellent electrician. This is the second time I've interacted with him. He told me what he was going to do, he did what he said and explained it to me thoroughly before and after. Both times he was in teaching mode with an apprentice by his side. I hope it was a good experience for them because I learned a lot myself. Not only that, he saved me thousands of dollars as the "other" company was only trying to upsell me. He's respectful, personable and knows his business. The other staff was responsive, caring and alert to my concerns. I highly recommend this company.

Peter Aurgaur and Jeremiah Castillo did a great job today replacing/upgrading my breaker panel. They worked very well together to efficiently perform all aspects of the job. I look forward to getting a successful inspection and then closing outage work when Pepco arrives to work with Peter to up date my meter and housing.
