Comments (5)We just put the flexible lighting in our cabinets. Three of the cabinets just have glass on the top, so we put a strip at the top of each one. On the hutch we ran it in a series of three U shapes. Two in the side cabinets and one in the open middle section. A couple of issues we ran into. 1. The transformers were on top of the cabinets and enclosed with crown molding. So, as you would expect, we failed the electrical inspection and the contractor just spent the day cutting access panels in the sides or tops of the cabinets. Not fun to watch.

For me it was pure magic....See MoreLED under cabinet tape lights- diffuser yes or no
Comments (4)yes. LED light strips are basically a row of little tiny bulbs. since your counter is polished, they will likely reflect off of with in little dots of light that personally I think looks unattractive. worse, that might put out an unpleasant glare. the diffuser takes are of all that. (the "dots" would be more noticeable at night with less ambient light around, and also more noticeable with dark counters, but it can still happen with light colors.) if your counter was matte, that might not really be such a problem. but I can see yours is shiny....See Morecathy725
