I'm always curious, why people like to put light in tv panel/ kitchen cabinet/ or even behind the mirror..
Hmmmmm, especially put eye balls or halogen inside the kitchen cabinet, kitchen is for cooking not display cabinet..
it's HOME not SHOWROOM... anyway, it's just my 2 cents  smile.gif

Why do some people buy Proton and others buy BMW? Because it's a matter of choice, and they see value in what they are purchasing. In cabinet lighting may not fit in your lifestyle, but it may fit well in others. IMO if you're going to spend a lot of money on KC, naturally you would want it to look as good as possible. After all...it's your home.

I agree. I am not putting those "blue"/ "green" / "red" lights. Just looking for under the cabinet lights but not those exposed t5 lights. Need some casing to at least cover it. Found a shop that has all these lightings for cabinets and nice rather than all those cheapo looking but expensive lights at light shops. That is y i don't want to go to any light shop.

You can get covers for T5 lights if you're on a budget.

You are right!! Spot on!

I only have 2 downlight above. I am not putting lighting inside the cabinet but below it might need light. Sometimes I dont plan to on the downlight but only the light under the cabinet will do.

I got some recomendation to get those strip LEDs and put it under the cabinet. They say it is bright enough. If got leftover LEDs then can put above the cabinets also. Then my kitchen got pimped!!  flex.gif

I think LED strips may not deliver the required light you need for task lighting. Usually i think it's used for decorative purposes
