How to Install LED Strip Lighting Under a Cabinet

Look around the kitchen walls and identify all of the available electrical outlets. If you only have one, then start your installation there. If you have multiple outlets, decide which one you want to use for the LED lights. Typically, you will use the outlet farthest to the left or right of the cabinets.

Place the AC plug directly under the chosen electrical outlet, but do not plug it in. Stretch the other end of the cord under the cabinet and insert it into the plug adapter cable supplied with the light kit.

Stretch out the adapter cable until it reaches the location where you want to install the first LED light strip, and plug the end of the cable into the outlet on one of the light strips.

Attach additional light strips to the end of the first one by simply snapping the end connectors together. Continue connecting light strips until you reach the other end of the cabinets.

Walk to one end of the cabinets and place a clear mounting clip under the front edge approximately 2 to 3 inches from the front. The flat back of the clip should face the cabinet, and the two sides hang down, allowing them to grasp the light bar. Use a screwdriver to insert a screw through the center hole in the clip to secure it.

Install additional mounting clips under the cabinet in the same manner as described in Step 5, spacing them 12 inches apart.

Pick up the first LED light bar at one end of the cabinets and place it under the cabinet with the lights facing down. Press it firmly into the mounting clips to hold it in place. Repeat the process to snap the remaining light bars into the remaining mounting clips.

Plug the electrical plug into the outlet and test the light strips.
