#High Power LED Under Cabinet Lighting DIY - Great looking and BRIGHT @ only 23w!

First off, let me explain that High Power LEDs should probably read High Intensity LEDs . By my calculations this whole setup uses about 23w of electricity.

Anyways, after getting new kitchen cabinets and getting a nice shiny granite counter top installed it was time to get some truly impressive under-cabinet lights that would complement the design I was aiming for while being wonderfully functional as well.

This instructable is going to show you how I created my DIY under cabinet lighting for less than $120 and yet achieved professional results better than every commercially available system I was able to see in person.

This is a true DIY system, not a guide on how to install a commercially available system. So before starting, know that while I think this should be considered an easy project some basic skills are required such as being comfortable working around electricity (which can be dangerous!) and you also need to know how to solder. Other than that though there aren't any special skills or tools required.

Thanks for reading, now on to the good stuff!
