Glad I watched this. Never thought of the plug behind the microwave above the oven. I can power all my cabinets on both sides using that plug. PERFECT. Thanks for the vid.

THANK YOU
Was figuring out what I wanted to do. Almost spent $250 for the black and Decker because of Simplicity.
But this is easy easy. Thank you great explanation

Awesome video! It was extremely useful as a guideline for my own kitchen. I installed the LED strips both under and over my cabinets! Now the In-laws have shown interest in doing this in their kitchen! So it looks like I may be doing another kitchen! Thank you for the guidance!

I appreciate your taking the time to make this video to share. It is just what I was looking for!! I nave to smh, though, because he spent all that time installing the lighting and making this video, but didn’t want to spend an extra 15-30 minutes maximum spraying the tops of the cabinets with 409 to wipe the dirt away. Men🙄 LOL.

It’s literally that easy…spray with 409, wipe with paper towels to remove dirt, wipe again with clean damp rag to rinse cleaner residue away, then and dry towel. Poof! It’s done. Just did this in my son’s new kitchen and it smells so much better now that the years of built up grease the previous owner’s left behind is gone . He was so appreciative.

Boys, while you’re already up there, take the extra bit of time to clean a bit. It’s worth it!! Your nose with thank you for it!! Written with love from mom’s everywhere❤️

Love it! $60 and a few hours saved you hundreds of dollors. Starting on mine soon.

[derpfannkuchen]

Finally an affordable alternative. Thanks for the video!

[jdstrohs]

I think I'm going to go this route, thanks for being so detailed.

[nancyduhalde]

Thank you this was so helpful and your kitchen lighting looks AMAZING!!

[Dalalfamz]

Thank you for such a detailed video quick question related to what if I want multi color Led lights which can be control with Remote and the smart switch? Any idea on which led lights would work this setup 💡 thank you in advance

[KurtofTrades]

Didn't watch this video as it isn't something I was interested in but couldn't help but click on the thumbnail! Good one!

[yogasounds]

Thank you for all the details! I really needed to see exactly how to do this and your video was a life saver.

[richardrosine]

Just did mine this morning. Thanks for the video. Made it very easy.

[piercebruneau]

You're correct, it is in series.

I love the ideas! I'm working on a project similar to this myself. I was wondering how folks did it like this! Thanks for some ideas!

I used RGBWW smart led strips on the tops and bottoms of my cabinets. I like that they can be turned on or off with my Google Assistants. Plus they can be warm white, white, or any color you can imagine.

[dmv_p]

nice ... I'm going to try this. I think I will add some diffusers to control the light a bit more

[TaritasTake]

Great video. Thinking of doing this in my kitchen. Only thing I didn't see was a dimmer switch, but with the remote on and off button, I'm impressed. I'd put that right next to the power switch for the kitchen lights cause I'd lose it in a drawer.😊

[PattiWestSA]

Thanks for this vid man! You explained it so well and made it sort of fool proof. I’m going to be building and installing kitchen cupboards and didn’t know how to add the lights below. I actually thought they’d be the round lights so I literally thought I’d have to redesign the bottom of the top cupboards just to hide the round lights 😅 that would’ve been way too over complicated. With your advice I can add the lights to my quote and do it myself AND score some extra work AND save my client money👍🏾can’t wait to see your other vids. Keep it up man!

[YolandaYvonne]

Thanks so much, your video help my husband and I with our project 👍🏽

[billszymanski]

Great info and buy list. I struggled to get good connections on a white strip using the quick connectors. Perhaps a future video can add tips for using these. It seems obvious, but it isn’t.
