Puck lights under cabinets

Puck lights under cabinets

Puck lights offer an alternative to continuous LED strips, providing focused pools of illumination at specific work points. They're particularly useful when highlighting distinct prep areas or when retrofitting existing cabinets. Battery-operated versions require no wiring, making them ideal for renters.

Easy Budget
Approach Detail

Space puck lights 12-18 inches apart under cabinet fronts, aligned with primary work areas. Wire to a single switch or use individual battery-powered pucks with touch activation. Choose high-CRI LEDs for accurate color rendering. Surface-mount versions are easiest to install; recessed versions offer cleaner aesthetics but require drilling.

Key Fixtures

LED puck lights; battery-operated cabinet pucks; rechargeable puck lights; surface-mount pucks; recessed cabinet pucks
