The 10 Best Under-Cabinet Lighting Solutions of 2024
Under-cabinet lighting can instantly change and improve the mood and ambiance of your kitchen. Since under-cabinet lighting is hidden, it's never an eyesore with unsightly wires—plus, it saves valuable space while illuminating your countertop.
“Light bars provide a more evenly distributed light where the light from pucks is more concentrated,” says Eric Marie, founder of Get an Eric, a handyman/contractor company. “Pucks are great for corners and alcoves that are otherwise difficult to light. Tapes can feel like an easy, affordable DIY project, but they ultimately won't last very long.”
To find the best under-cabinet lighting, we researched a wide variety of options while considering type, power source, color temperature, and features. In addition to Marie, we also spoke to Blake Sutton, the President of Est Est Interior Design, for his expert insight on integrating under-cabinet lighting into your space.

They're bright, affordable, easy to install, and extremely thin, ensuring they stay well hidden.

The light switch is located 16 inches away from the bulbs on the cord.
The super slim Jusjubr Under-Cabinet Lights are a versatile pick—they can be hardwired or plugged into the mains, so you can tailor them to your kitchen design. They come with three different white lights and have an impressive brightness with 33 LED lights along the 12-inch length of the bar.
These lights are also dimmable from 10 percent brightness up to full power, and they keep your last setting when you switch them back on again. They come with strong double-sided adhesive tape for even easier installation, and there are four wire clips to affix the cord in place.
The Jusjubr light strips aren't limited to kitchen cabinets either; you can use them in offices, wardrobes, shelves, and bookcases. The on/off/dimming switch is far down the cord, but you can use the included wire clips to adjust the switch if you prefer more convenient access.
Light Type: Light bar | Dimensions: 12 inches | Power Source: Plug-in
