#Halogen under cabinet lighting how to#

( You can see his follow-up post about how to install under cabinet lighting here.) I’ll turn it over to him now!īut even though it has been on our to-do list for a while, like most projects around the house, once I started researching different kitchen under cabinet lighting options, I realized it’s not as simple as it seems.Ĭhoosing under cabinet lighting is harder than the actual installation. And while his approach may take a little longer than mine, it is always worth it in the end to get a spectacular result!Īnother bonus of his in-depth research is that I can have him report back his findings here on the blog and save YOU a ton of research time! So Donnie is taking over today to talk about the BEST under cabinet lighting options for the kitchen.

Donnie looks at projects from every angle and thinks them through down to the tiniest detail before jumping in fully.

And I would have ended up with kind of “meh” results.įortunately, I am married to an avid researcher. I would have become frustrated when it wasn’t as easy as I pictured. So when I started dreaming up an under-cabinet lighting plan for our kitchen, I envisioned making a quick trip to IKEA or Home Depot, grabbing a few light strips, sticking them under the cabinets, and calling it a day.Īnd left to my own devices, I probably would have followed through with that exact plan. Usually something that I think we can knock out in a Saturday will take us at least week or two. To say that I am an idealist when it comes to house projects is a bit of an understatement.
