He skipped a lot. You need to make sure the wattage for the controller & LEDs match. And you feed wires from a nearby outlet into your controller. I did this recently and added an occ sensor (motion detection switch). Be sure to get some plastic track with covers, or diffusers, so the lights won’t be so sharp. And you’ll need right angle track covers (I forgot what they’re called) so you can go around corners. You’ll also need some ribbon wire so you can connect between cabinets. Watch other videos on YT before attempting this.
Great video but I have a question. How do you connect all the lights if the cabinets are in separate parts of the kitchen? Would I just fish it behind the drywall?
Looks awesome bro. Nice job. The difference between quality tape light LED's installed by someone with a plan and Amazon's cheapest option is very apparent. I typically want dimmable/motion sensor/night light photo cell options but theirs so many options these days and the prices are reasonable.
You end up with a shadow on the countertop right against the front lip - You can still get "wall wash" if you place it about 3" from the front lip, but with no distracting shadow
What about for the rest of the cabinets how you will add them and where to connect the rest of the light. I just saw only one pice please answer me. Thanks
Need a longer video please. I want to know how to connect ot to my existing over head light switch. Also is it possible to add it to the interior cabinet, like a lower corner cabinet or lazy Susan. I'd like the light to come on when the door opens but turn off when the door is closed.
Not sure what brand of tape lighting I use but I get the driver and dimmer switch all in one, it fits in a single gang box, just much simpler. This does look great!! I've never tried putting it on facing to the back though.
I have a problem. I don't have free outlets anywhere near and I don't want it to be messy by using the far ones. So do these backlights need outlets or can it be done without them?
@@Ty-vn3culook again, the sink is going to go below the window, there needs to be one to the left within 2 ft above where the dishwasher is going to go. That one above the dishwasher on the left side is more than 2 ft away from where the sinks Edge is going to be
My thoughts exactly, and I would never mount them aiming at the wall either (it’s supposed to be task lighting, not a wall washer). They should be aiming down, and a short distance from the front of the cabinet, so as not to cast a shadow on the edge of the countertop.
All he did was show how stick led on the wall. Thanks man😂
And the wiring magically appears on the back of the cabinets?
lol right
Yes..😊
And it will fall off in a little bit
Especially by the stove
@@georgewade1713I did mine and above my stove too, been over a year not a single section has let go yet

Thru the wall
Nicely done. Looks clean. Just needs some track for the tape
We have that too!

You have to consider that many led strips require an aluminum profile to dissipate the heat or the smds will die prematurely 😅

Yeah best part is when the tape fails. 😂😂😂
Yes it will
Mounting lights toward the front of your cabinets means you cast crazy shadows on anything you're trying do on your counters.
We use the plug and play stuff and low volt staples I like the hot glue idea
Hot glue🤨 you think I work at hobby lobby or something?
Where do you put the driver you used
🎉🎉🎉Excellent work！
Do you have a link for your preferred light tape and driver?

Anything's possible with a good electrician.
We're like gods.

I found that a few months ago at our local electrical supply store. Makes it so much easier.
@@BaileyFarming yes it's much easier. Used a few over the last year, I bit pricey, around $100 if I remember correctly.
Instead of using hot glue, use a small plastic trac to hide those low volt wires looks cleaner and looks more professional install take the extra step
Whats the switch brand/called? Haven’t seen this before
I have a problem. I don't have free outlets anywhere near and I don't want it to be messy by using the far ones. So do these backlights need outlets or can it be done without them?
Nice.
Nice work, I do it the exact same way but I often use Switch X drivers and diode tape light.
Those switches are nice. Downside is they leave you no option for smart lighting…
Handyman special. Lmao😅
No plastic wiremold to make that wire “disappear”?
Wanted to see the light in the dark
What color are those cabinets
Plz make a video on how to wire it tnx
Your outlet layout looks jacked up brother. Someone didn't look at the cabinet layout close enough did they. Lol.
What? The outlets look fine.

What do you do if you don’t have a recessed bottom panel? How can you make it not be seen easily?
Add 1” molding
The tapes meant for temporary installation never for permanent installs.
What temperature of light is this???
3000k
Remember kids granite reflects better get it straight.
Wow. No electrical needed!
Are they dimmable?
Yep!
Bro skipped that hard part
Handyman special. Please don’t listen to this dude. If using tape lights, use a channel, or use actual u/c lights

Use a channel. That’s hack
You got it bro. He's not electrician. He's a GC.extra Cost
Too yellowish
That is so cheesy!!!
led tape is junk
What would you recommend?
Sloppy
HAHAHAHA GAYYYYYYYYYY
