Tick, tick, tick....plugmold?
Comments (17)Thanks for the compliment, a2gemini. My LEDs are from superbrightleds.com. They're called LuxBars. I was originally going to install the tape lighting from them. But I decided on these instead. I really like them and they're dimmable. I'm still using tape lighting, but inside the cabinet. I also saw that some members posting in the lighting forum have had a good experience with this company, so it helped me decide. I did contact their customer service and they were very helpful. Back to the plugmold. I did consider an angled application. But that would have made them more visible. So I decided to go flat against the bottom of the cabinet. I thought the pigtails might be too visible, but it hasn't been an issue. But then again, I only leave one appliance plugged in all the time, the coffee maker. I think it also depends on the backsplash. On mine, the cords aren't too noticeable when plugged in. But I could see a white or very light backsplash being an issue. Here is a link that might be useful: LuxBars...See MoreOld House, New Wiring - Plugmold or Power Track or ?
Comments (6)You aren't going to like my suggestion, but here it is: Install the outlets in the walls. It's just not that hard. I've done it a million times in plaster and lath walls. The easiest way is using metal boxes with expanding "ears" on the sides that grip the existing wall. To cut the hole for the outlet, you drill starter holes in all four corners then use a fine tooth hacksaw blade so you don't break out the plaster. You have full access from the basement - so you won't have to channel any walls. The end result will look right, it won't look like it was added on after the fact.

Comments (4)@dann1888 What is your preference between the cans or the LED strips? Do you anticipate any awkwardness with wiring if we have plugmold at the back, and this lighting at the front? @halett&co That's a great look. I wish I had known about this design issue before I ordered the cabinet so that I could have modified the design accordingly -- it's too late for me to add in longer side panels but that would have addressed most concerns!...See Moreksfaustin
