    I will be installing led undercabinet lighting in my new Kitchen and would like some advice as to what a good system would be. I am not looking for anything too fancy or expensive. White lights preferably dimmable would be great.It is a galley style kitchen and I have it wired to use either a 1 driver or 2 driver system. Any help as far as brands or what to look for would be fantastic.TIA;)

    Undercabinet lighting

    I've seen a variety of LED systems, but the easiest and least expensive under cabinet lighting is the clear rope lights. They do a great job and are not very expensive.

    I concur, the led's in the rope are the best option I've seen.

    I bought 2 strings of 3 piece HID lights for under my kitchen cabs that got soo hot I never hung them. Buy the time I got around to hanging them, I couldn't find the receipt. This was about three years ago and the LED options were limited.
