Well, this could quite possibly be the shortest blog post I’ll ever write BUT that just proves my point about how easy it is to install under cabinet lighting! I’ll admit, this was all Andrew’s idea (he’s a lighting nerd), but I’m happy I went along with it. He was a little confused when I told him I was writing a blog post about this project because it was such an easy thing to do, but DUH – that’s exactly why everyone needs to know!!
BEFORE
AFTER
For awhile now, we’ve talked about doing this project to give our kitchen some extra ambiance and make it look more ‘upscale,’ if you will. We also didn’t want to spend a fortune to get everything wired, so we found stick-on LED lights for $20 and they work perfectly. I was worried about them being too bright and looking tacky, but they definitely don’t. These lights in particular came with a remote control for dimming (all for $20!!), which really helps tone down the brightness.
Materials:
- Wireless LED Pucks – 6 pack (we only used 5 total)
- AAA Batteries (each puck needs 3 batteries, so make sure to get enough)
Step-By Step:
- Take any measurements beforehand, so you know exactly where you want your pucks to be placed.
- Insert the batteries into your pucks. Place the 3M stickers on the backs of the pucks and stick them to your cabinets! Voila. It’s really that easy. And now it’s time to play with the remote control 🙂
See what my kitchen looked like before we moved in, here.
