How to Install Under-Cabinet Lighting
More in Kitchen
Step 1: Strip the Outer Insulation
Snap the press-on fitting (it captures the wiring that enters the fixture) into its place on the light box. Then, strip back the outer insulation on the wire with a wire stripper.
Step 2: Feed the Wires
Feed the wires into the fixture through the fitting -- make sure the outer insulation enters the box.
Step 3: Slide the Wires into the Connector Boxes
Next strip 1/2" of insulation off the individual feed wires. Slide the stripped wires into their corresponding wire connector boxes. White to white (neutral), black to black (hot), and bare to green (ground).
Push the excess wire into the wall, then hang the light on the bottom of the cabinet with screws.
Snap in the opaque glass panel.
