Cabinet Lighting Options That Actually Work
Under-Cabinet Strips
This is what most people want. LED strips mounted under your upper cabinets light up the whole counter. No more working in shadows or squinting to see if that chicken is done.
- We hide the strips completely so you don't see them—just the light they put out
- Way better than stick-on battery lights that quit working after six months
- Most Milwaukee kitchens have standard cabinet spacing, so installation is straightforward
- Some Waukesha County custom cabinets need a different mounting approach
Inside Cabinet Lights
Ever spend five minutes looking for something in a deep cabinet? Interior lights solve that immediately. Open the door, light comes on, you see everything.
- Perfect for pantries where you're always digging around for ingredients
- Great for glass-front cabinets to show off dishes or glassware
- Motion sensors mean you don't have to think about switches
- Door opens: light turns on. Door closes: light turns off
Accent Lighting
Some people want cabinet lighting for decoration, not just function—crown molding lights, toe-kick lighting, that sort of thing. It creates ambiance in the kitchen.
- Toe-kick lighting adds a subtle glow and makes the space feel higher-end
- Glass cabinet lighting gives a "display case" look that's great for entertaining
- Best results come when accent lighting is paired with functional under-cabinet strips
- Designed to feel clean and intentional—not overdone
Why LED Cabinet Lighting Makes Sense
Electricity Bills
LED cabinet lights use almost no electricity. You can leave them on all evening and not notice it on your electric bill. Try that with old-style bulbs and watch your bill jump.
Some people worry about the upfront cost of LEDs, but they pay for themselves pretty quickly. Especially when you factor in not having to replace bulbs every few months.
Wisconsin Electric and We Energies sometimes have rebates for LED upgrades. We keep track of what's available and help you get any money back that's out there.
No More Bulb Changes
Quality LEDs last about 15 years. You'll probably redo your kitchen before these lights quit working. No more climbing on counters to change bulbs in awkward spots.
The old halogen cabinet lights got hot and burned out constantly. Real pain when they're mounted under cabinets where you can barely reach them.
LEDs run cool, so they don't heat up your cabinets or whatever you store near them.
Light Color Options
You can pick warm light that looks like regular light bulbs, or cooler white light that's better for detailed work. Most people choose warm for ambiance, cool for food prep areas.
Some newer systems let you adjust the color temperature with a switch. Start with warm light for dinner, switch to bright white for cleanup.
Dimmable LEDs give you even more control. Bright for cooking, dim for late-night snacks.
How We Install Cabinet Lighting
Planning Your Layout
First thing we do is figure out how you actually use your kitchen. Where do you prep food? Where do you need better light? What outlets can we use for power?
Some kitchens have outlets right where we need them. Others require running new wiring. We measure everything and plan the installation so nothing looks tacked on afterward.
Good cabinet lighting should look like it was always part of your kitchen design.
Running the Wiring
Most cabinet lighting uses low-voltage wiring that’s safer and easier to work with than regular house wiring. We install small transformers that convert regular power down to what the LEDs need.
Sometimes we can tap into existing outlets under your cabinets. Other times we need to run new circuits from your electrical panel. Depends on your kitchen layout and electrical setup.
All wiring gets hidden inside cabinets or behind trim. You shouldn’t see any wires when we’re done.
