I am looking at replacing existing florescent lighting. How do people handle going between
cabinets? Say you have two cabinets next to each other. Seems like choices are to drill
a hole through the cabinet sides and split the strip into two pieces - one under each.
The strips are easy to cut and solder.
Or cut a notch in the sides (it is pretty well hidden under the cabinet) and run a
continuous strip. If using channel and diffuser strip it seems like cutting a notch would
be best. And the lack of breaks in the light would look a bit better.
Anyone got some detail pictures of this?
I figure I can mount a thin outlet in the back where the 115V wires are now with an outlet and
and a small power supply. I could route to the top of the cabinet but I think I can keep
things thin enough underneath. With leds I don't need the power feed for every cabinet - not
sure if I will clip the wires I don't need or put a small box on each so they are there for
future use.
I looked at LED strips and fixtures at HD and Lowes last night. I can get stuff much cheaper
on line but wonder about how long they will last (same concern for the big box stuff too though).
I plan to reduce the voltage a little to help that.
