Types of under-cabinet lighting. There are three types of under-cabinet lighting available for residential use in the USA: incandescent, fluorescent, or LED. The type of lamp dictates the lampâs style and performance, such as amount of lighting it emits, the lightâs color, the life of the lamp, and energy use.
The new junction box for your under-cabinet lighting can be located behind cabinetry or in a nearby wall. Cables for the fixtures will be run inside the wall; if run through your cabinets, the cables will be metal-clad. When mounting any fixture under a cabinet, position it to the front. If there is a lens, face it toward the backsplash. The bottom-front rail of the cabinet should hide the fixture from your line of sight, whether youâre standing or seated. If it doesnât, consider extending the rail with a narrow board or trim piece.
