Under Cabinet Lighting
I knew when we put in our overhead cabinets that I wanted some kind of slimline lighting that was low current, so the obvious choice was the self adhesive LED stuff (colour changing stuff in this instance) that's widely available. However I didn't like the fact that it looks a little 'unfinished' when simply stuck to the underside of a unit.
Much searching revealed a nice, black anodised extrusion that screws to the surface in question. You then simply stick your LED tape into the extrusion & click on the diffuser strip. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281151575915? ... 1439.l2649
I'm very happy with the results, the lights need wiring in yet to the remote controlled RGB controller, that's a job for the weekend.

Re: Under Cabinet Lighting
Nice find! I've been looking for something exactly like this. I tried hiding my led strip behind a small aluminium extrusion but it cut out too much light. This will be perfect.
Re: Under Cabinet Lighting
Now that I like!Just ordered a couple of lengths,excellent find.

Very smart. Have you got any photos showing them in use?

Hopefully will have this weekend, in the process of sorting the wiring, but since I'm a bit anal everything takes three times as long as it should to get right.Simon Jones wrote:Very smart. Have you got any photos showing them in use?
Re: Under Cabinet Lighting
Very neat. Is there enough space in the strip to lose some thin lighting wiring as well?
