He skipped a lot. You need to make sure the wattage for the controller & LEDs match. And you feed wires from a nearby outlet into your controller. I did this recently and added an occ sensor (motion detection switch). Be sure to get some plastic track with covers, or diffusers, so the lights won’t be so sharp. And you’ll need right angle track covers (I forgot what they’re called) so you can go around corners. You’ll also need some ribbon wire so you can connect between cabinets. Watch other videos on YT before attempting this.

Looks awesome bro. Nice job. The difference between quality tape light LED's installed by someone with a plan and Amazon's cheapest option is very apparent. I typically want dimmable/motion sensor/night light photo cell options but theirs so many options these days and the prices are reasonable.

Great video but I have a question. How do you connect all the lights if the cabinets are in separate parts of the kitchen? Would I just fish it behind the drywall?

Thru the wall

You have to consider that many led strips require an aluminum profile to dissipate the heat or the smds will die prematurely 😅

Need a longer video please. I want to know how to connect ot to my existing over head light switch. Also is it possible to add it to the interior cabinet, like a lower corner cabinet or lazy Susan. I'd like the light to come on when the door opens but turn off when the door is closed.

Mounting lights toward the front of your cabinets means you cast crazy shadows on anything you're trying do on your counters.

@chuckybob1984 11 ай бұрын

You end up with a shadow on the countertop right against the front lip - You can still get "wall wash" if you place it about 3" from the front lip, but with no distracting shadow

Nice work, I do it the exact same way but I often use Switch X drivers and diode tape light.

@electricianjoe Жыл бұрын

Those switches are nice. Downside is they leave you no option for smart lighting…

Not sure what brand of tape lighting I use but I get the driver and dimmer switch all in one, it fits in a single gang box, just much simpler. This does look great!! I've never tried putting it on facing to the back though.

Instead of using hot glue, use a small plastic trac to hide those low volt wires looks cleaner and looks more professional install take the extra step

I have a problem. I don't have free outlets anywhere near and I don't want it to be messy by using the far ones. So do these backlights need outlets or can it be done without them?

@guyberghoff5027 8 ай бұрын

My thoughts exactly, and I would never mount them aiming at the wall either (it’s supposed to be task lighting, not a wall washer). They should be aiming down, and a short distance from the front of the cabinet, so as not to cast a shadow on the edge of the countertop.
