Under wall cabinets
Review front and rear profile positions against the worktop and normal viewing angles.
BEXLIGHTING / APPLICATION SOLUTION
Under-cabinet LED strip lighting for kitchen cabinetry.
Light worktops, cabinet shelves and interior compartments with LED strips that fit the furniture detail. Explore product options or send us your cabinet dimensions to discuss a sample and quotation.
THE LIGHTING GOAL
Make the work surface useful without exposing the light source.
THE KEY CONSTRAINT
Cabinet depth, glossy finishes and moisture exposure change the mounting decision.
START WITH THIS DRAWING
A cabinet elevation and section showing the worktop, recess and accessible driver.
INSTALLATION POSITIONS
Place the light with a purpose.
Identify each position and its individual length. The mounting detail should follow how the space is viewed and used.
Use your furniture drawings to define the actual light positions.
Open kitchen shelving
Coordinate shelf-edge shielding and the appearance of items on the shelf.
Cabinet interiors
Show each compartment, cable exit and the switching arrangement.
Toe-kick accents
Treat the base light as accent lighting; review floor reflections and cleaning exposure.
INSTALLATION DETAIL / CONCEPT
Review the position before cutting the recess.
Show the cabinet edge, worktop and backsplash in one section. Compare the mounted sample on the actual finish before approving the profile setback or diffuser.
- Mark individual lengths and approved cut positions.
- Confirm profile clearance and cable exits.
- Keep drivers and service connections accessible.

COMPONENT SCOPE
Products and support for this application.
LED strip
Exact SKU, CCT, individual lengths and confirmed performance.
Profile & cover
Usable dimensions, mounting method, end caps and visual sample.
Feeds & controls
Connections, compatible supply and any sensor or dimming system.
Approval record
Drawings, sample reference and relevant product documents.
Planning checklist only; component availability and supply scope must be confirmed in the quotation.
SELECTION REQUIREMENTS
Light placement and installation checks
Position and reflected light
Review the strip position against the front cabinet edge, task area and backsplash. Compare a sample in the proposed mounting position; glossy stone and glass can reveal the light source.
Mechanical fit
Provide the usable profile width, recess dimensions and individual cabinet lengths. Leave space for end caps, connectors and cable exits rather than ordering only the visible illuminated length.
Environment and controls
Describe proximity to sinks, steam and cleaning. IP20 is not water-protected. Confirm the driver and dimming arrangement, access for maintenance and the exact product’s temperature limits.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Questions about kitchen cabinetry.
Should the strip be placed at the front or the back of the cabinet?
There is no single position for every kitchen. Review cabinet depth, the task surface, shielding and reflective finishes with a mounted sample.
Does a COB strip remove every visible reflection?
No. The visible result also depends on the diffuser, mounting position, viewing angle and reflective surfaces.
Can an IP20 strip be used near a kitchen sink?
Do not treat IP20 as water-protected. Assess actual moisture exposure and specify a documented assembly suitable for that location.

APPLICATION DETAIL
Where should an under-cabinet LED strip be positioned?
Cabinet depth, shielding and worktop reflections affect the result. Compare a mounted sample before finalising the recess or profile position.
Read the article →MODEL SELECTION
Task light without glare
Compare white-light output and colour rendering for the worktop. Check the diffuser, profile position and connector space in a mounted sample.
Evaluate the chosen BEXLIGHTING model in your own profile or assembly before finalising a larger installation.

Under cabinet LED strip lighting should place useful light on the worktop without exposing the strip to normal sightlines. Review the cabinet depth, counter finish and any lip or profile that could cast a shadow. Specify separate section lengths and cable exits for each cabinet run, then assess a sample in the intended mounting detail.
