    Kitchen Under-Cabinet Lights - LED?

    Looking for a decent set of under cabinet lights for the soon to be installed kitchen - any experiences of decent make/quality?

    TIA

    Have a look on screwfix. Most should have reviews from people in the trade.

    Look on ledhut.co.uk. They sell plug in led strips. Self adhesive backing, cool or warm white, my kit came with 90 Degree corner joints too.
    No affiliation to said site, just a happy customer.
    Also do a google for discount code.

    I would highly recommend Led supplies . Com. They also sell aluminium extrusions which make the light more diffuse. This also means you don't need the waterproof led strip which degrades over time.

    After 2 years mine are still as bright with no failed chips:

    I use LED hut Trade and.they have good prices on Led strip lights but to be honest the one at screwfix are great and not a great price difference.
    I have the screwfix ones both in my kitchen and utility and never had a problem in the last three years, also come in a variety of lengths to suit.

    I've had the Screwfix ones for a few years, no problems and cheap enough not to worry about the guarantee.

    If you get some wemo wifi switches, and an echo dot, you can voice control them ( will be other ways of doing so but that is the way I went)

    Did you order your kitchen yet Chris?
    Finally moved in last Monday and was going to send you a couple of shots of mine.
    This is as tidy as it's ever going to get:

    Have a look at Sensio lighting. I've got a couple of their aluminium LED strip lights under the wall cupboards and the quality is very good. The profile is nice and slim, very modern and nicer than the stuff I was looking at elsewhere.

    They switches are touch sensitive too, or you could hardwire the transformers into a standard circuit (which I've done) so they can be controlled by a wall switch.

    They have an eBay shop where they often sell off end of line stuff, which is where I got mine from, at often half price or less.

    These are the ones I got (cool white) which I don't think they make anymore. Shame, they're good.

    I forgot to say, LEDhut sent two packs of haribo sweets in with my order !

    Could be a deal breaker for you.
