Can anyone recommend undercabinet power strip and lighting manufacturers? Integrated systems are especially desired.

"Task Lighting available at Hardware Resources online..."

This product combines LED strip lights with outlets but is extremely expensive. A 24" strip is $300 (list) and a 30" strip $480 (list).

Also, undercounter strip lights should really face rearward from the front of the cabinet undersides not forward from the back. Remember that appliances cords would hang down from outlets to appliances; you may be able tuck cords behind appliances powered by outlets conventionally located in backsplashes.

Maybe it's the battery, but I decided I didn't want to waste the time and money on getting a non-refundable replacement specialty battery for the fob when there is no guarantee it will fix this issue. I found a Belkin Wemo switch in a local Coscto this afternoon and just set it up. Since I can receive the wifi signal from my home network from both the garage and the patio, it is working so far. The wifi signal to the garage is quite weak, but it's working fine so far. I can try moving the wireless router a bit closer towards the garage if there are connection issues. Wemo uses a smartphone app, so I don't have to deal with a separate fob and it is also rated at 15 AMPs so it should handle the pump's electric load fine. I'll hang on the Utilitech for a few days before returning it just in case there are any major problems with the Wemo that make we want to give the Utilitech another try with a fresh battery.

Legrand TR plugmold vs task lighting angled power strips
Q

Is the task lighting worth the money over the Legrand TR plugmold? The task lighting plugs are double the cost. Can you cut the Legrand to size? I guess the question is why would I not go with the cheaper option? I have rad mixed reviews about install for the Legrand.

You don't have to use the angled plug strips, you can get low profile strips that can be installed under the cabinets and be completely hidden with a small light rail. There is the plug mold type and low profile outlets. I have the latter and they are much more cost effective. I also have outlets low and horizontal in places were the appliances "live" full time on the counter. I do recommend LED cabinet lighting, even in a small area and your 120/130" walls. They make for a great lighting alternative to the overhead lights at night, plus are useful for their primary purpose. (We used InspiredLED and were quite impressed with the service, price and product, and so were my GC and electrician).

LED Power Supply for LED strips
Q

@HU-290535868: "Do all led lights need a driver?" If you're talking about LED tape lights, yes. The driver matches the power requirements of the LEDs (12 or 24 volts, AC or DC) to the building power (120 volts, AC). Note that some drivers support dimming (typically from an in-wall 120 volt dimmer that supports LEDs) and some do not.

We used these in our kitchen. They’re great. The lights work just fine despite being toward the back of the cabinet - probably because they’re angled forward. Having tons of outlets along the counter is realls works for us for us - we use a lot of small appliances pretty much daily.
