What Nobody Tells You About LED Under Cabinet Lighting

CJ Nielsen from the Build Show walks through the essentials of LED under cabinet lighting, starting with cabinet design considerations — specifically, how a light rail or style rail helps conceal LED channel profiles from view. He covers the three most common aluminum channel profiles: half-inch, quarter-inch, and 45-degree angled, each suited to different installation scenarios. From there, he breaks down LED tape light selection, touching on color temperature, voltage (12V vs. 24V), lumens per foot, wattage per foot, and maximum run lengths. He also distinguishes between standard diode tape and COB (chip-on-board) tape, noting COB tends to produce more even light distribution
