Thinking About Lighting Under Kitchen Cabinets

One of those nagging issues I keep running into while remodeling my kitchen is whether or not I want to add some light under the
kitchen cabinets. Under-cabinet lighting can look great, and it can make food prep a little easier in a dark kitchen, but I still haven't decided if I'd use them enough to justify the cost.

While pondering the matter, I stumbled across a helpful video from Lowe's, How to Install Lighting Under Your Kitchen Cabinets. In a quick four and one-half minutes, Mike Kraft explains some of the types of under-counter lighting that are available. He also demonstrates the installation of a pretty simple set-up, with tips on how to route and hide the wires.

Mike didn't help me decide whether or not I want the extra lighting, but he did remind me of just how easy it can be to install some.
