I wish Ikea offers motion sensing under cabinet lights. I am currently getting battery-powered motion sensing under cabinet light from Temu. Their light output is more suitable for drawer light.

@kitchensbyrannes 25 күн бұрын

I see your point but I don't think I would like motion sensing under cabinet lights. I like to keep them dimmed in the evening for the cozy ambiance.

Thanks for your continuing sharing great videos which have helped me a lot achieving a challenging task of installing Ikea kitchen otherwise very expensive going to custom cabinets. I only have backslash left done and I have very first install those dimmable lights under wall cabinets as they give ambience feeling every time I light them up. Love them. Having installed myself the entire Ikea kitchen from scratch, it's a big job. It does require to have some skills though. Glad that your tutorials are here reminding me having a lot of fun and get impressed by guests too as it gives you personal satisfaction of being there done that. I wanted to install light for drawers but found it no real need to save some money elsewhere otherwise it will cost a lot due to so many pull out drawers I have installed.

This video, along with your installation videos, is very helpful for the DIYers out there. Can you please tell me, when you have a blind corner cabinet situation, do you run a group of two 18" lights under the entire cabinet, or only one 18" light under the part of the cabinet that shows. Will it be a dark corner without the extra light, or too bright with it, or just right? Thanks in advance!

@kitchensbyrannes 4 ай бұрын

Thank you, Laura. I do whatever fits. I don't think you can add too much light and I definitely think it's better with more than less.

Thanks for taking the time to do these videos, cuz I know they take a while to edit and prepare. Going to give a like to every video you have on this subject, b/c I think you have done the best explanation by far. Question: If we want to have drawer lights, but in cabinets that are finished with a panel on the back side (b/c they are not up against a wall), should we bring all the wires in from the bottom or from the side?

@kitchensbyrannes 2 ай бұрын

Thanks. Im glad that you find my videos helpful. In your situation i would run the wires from the lights to the back and then down to the space below the cabinet where I would place the power supply.

@kitchensbyrannes 4 ай бұрын

Hmm....🤔 It it a distance issue? There's always a way but if you run too many lights in a line, the consumption may be too high for one power supply.

@michaelvenadas7067 3 ай бұрын

Great video thank you for posting. Is it possible for the power supply to be hardwired to the outlet, instead of using the regular plug?

@kitchensbyrannes 3 ай бұрын

You're very welcome. Possible, yes. To code, most likely not. The wire isn't approved for being hardwired, as I understand it. I recommend asking a local electrician.

@natewestervelt Ай бұрын

Thanks for this awesome video! It was really informative. One question: since not all drawers will be open simultaneously, wouldn't it be possible to use a single power supply for all the drawer lights? Just a thought to potentially simplify the wiring. Keep up the great work!

@kitchensbyrannes Ай бұрын

You're right. I'm just a cautious man. I should have mentioned the scenario you describe but since I try to show what I do when I install kitchens myself, I didn't think about it. Should a client decide to leave all drawers open at the same time, for whatever reason, and by doing so, exceed the limit of a power supply and possibly kill it, I'll be the one who would have to come by to replace it. Don't want to 😊🤔🫤

@natewestervelt Ай бұрын

It's always better to err on the side of caution, especially when it comes to ensuring the longevity and safety of installations. Your approach of showing what you do based on personal experience is valuable. Thanks for the insight-I'll definitely keep that in mind for future projects.

Thank you for another great video. I am planning to connect all my under-cabinet lights to a single switch so I can turn them all on/off at once. Would be nice if there was a way to connect the vent hood lights to the same switch, but I imagine one would have to hack the vent hood to separate the power supply of the lights from that of the vent itself. I wonder if you have ever done this or seen it done? Thanks!

@kitchensbyrannes 3 ай бұрын

You're very welcome. I'm glad you like it. I cannot say that I've done, or seen, what your suggesting. One could think that the whole vent hood (blower and lights) could be switched as you describe because how often would you run the vent hood blower, without the lights? 🤔

@corneilcorneil 22 күн бұрын

Do you still use 120 volt? We switched to 230V 50 years ago.

@kitchensbyrannes 21 күн бұрын

Yes, 120 volt is what we got.

@Michael_Courtney 4 ай бұрын

I enjoy your videos. If you have 2 separate sets of lights due to a sink or something separating them do you install 2 transformers or just run the low voltage cable in the wall (which I think is allowed by code)?

@kitchensbyrannes 4 ай бұрын

Thank you for your feedback. I am happy to hear that you find the videos helpful. About your lights. You can do both. If you have a sink between the two sections, you can just run the wires under that cabinet. If it's a stove dividing the cabinets, you can also run the wires in a conduit behind the stove, at the floor.

@Michael_Courtney 4 ай бұрын

@@kitchensbyrannes Thanks for the response. I don't know if you ever do appliance garages but I think that is an interesting topic because there is not a lot of information on that. I'm going to attempt one using a high cabinet cut down with double doors connected with a piano hinge. Not sure how it will work. I'll know in a month. I had the Ikea roll door garage at my last place.

@kitchensbyrannes 4 ай бұрын

No I don't do those. In Ontario Canada, and many other places, it's not to code to have an electrical outlet behind a door and without it, not so functional.

Love, Love, Love your videos. They were invaluable to my install. I have a 30 inch upper Sektion cabinet. There isn't a 30 inch mittle. Can I combine an 18 and 12 by joining them mid cabinet or will the crews pierce the floor of the cabinet?

Thanks Bob. Sure you can use an 18+12....in case you don't like the 15+15 😜 Screws won't go through. Too short.

My kitchen lights were installed by an IKEA recommended company. Now the lights are fading and need replacing. Is that something I can do myself? Or do I need to get an electrician?

@kitchensbyrannes 16 күн бұрын

Thank you for your question. That's hard for me to say. Is is Ikea lights or something else? If the lights are from Ikea, I'm surprised to learn that they are fading. Have you checked that they haven't been dimmed in the remote control?

@AuntyAileenA 16 күн бұрын

Thanks for replying! I don’t have a dimmer. Just an on/off remote control. We’ve had the lights (they were installed with an ikea kitchen - so we’re definitely from Ikea) for 18 months and put them on every night for a few hours. I’ve had a look at the same lights on the Ikea website and they’re pretty expensive! But I think I can just unplug and replace the ones I’ve got with identical ones. I’m in Australia btw.
