Diy Under Cabinet Lighting

DIY under cabinet lighting is a great way to add extra light to your kitchen or bathroom. It is also a relatively easy project to complete, even for beginners.

To start, you will need to gather the following materials:

• LED strip lights
• Aluminum channel
• Power supply
• Dimmer switch (optional)
• Screws or nails
• Double-sided tape

Once you have your materials, you will need to decide where you want to install the lights. The most common place to install under cabinet lights is underneath the upper cabinets in the kitchen. However, you can also install them under shelves, countertops, or even inside cabinets.

Once you have decided where you want to install the lights, you will need to measure and cut the aluminum channel to the desired length. Then, use screws or nails to attach the aluminum channel to the cabinets or shelves.

Next, remove the backing from the double-sided tape on the back of the LED strip lights. Then, press the strip lights into the aluminum channel. Be sure to leave enough space at the end of the strip lights to connect the power supply.

Once the strip lights are in place, connect the power supply to the strip lights and to an outlet. If you are using a dimmer switch, connect it between the power supply and the strip lights.

Finally, test the lights to make sure they are working properly. Once you are satisfied with the results, you can enjoy your new under cabinet lighting!
