All you need to get started on a clean under cabinet install.
Excellent product. I searched all over reading reviews trying to find an ideal product for my situation. I have a cabinet over the microwave and stove, cabinet to the left, and three cabinets to the right. I wanted a clean install but wasn't sure how to run lights to either side of the microwave cabinet or if a splitter was needed. I plugged the power supply in above the microwave. Turns out the power supply cord is plenty long enough to be run inside the left cabinet and out the bottom where it connects to the dimmer switch and first light. I thought initially I would need a splitter installed off the power supply but turns out I did not. First light is hooked up to the dimmer switch then using two extension cables included plus an additional extension cable I ran them back up that left cabinet, over through the microwave cabinet, and then down the next cabinet and out to the next light, and so on for that side. All wires are concealed and its a clean install with the included clips. Drilled a pilot hole then a 1/2 inch hole to run cables through the cabinets. I attached the lights using the included brackets. It can be difficult working underneath the cabinet so I used a piece of tape to hold the bracket in the place, drilled through for a pilot hole, screwed into place, then removed the tape. Powers on and is controlled by the dimmer at the bottom of the left cabinet. Simply reach under at the edge and easily operate. Pictures attached. Warm white was chosen to match the light of the microwave and it all blends in seamlessly. Id advise you plug in the lights and lay out on the counter how you think it will install prior to drilling holes. You can then chose the best position for the lights to eliminate shadows and get good coverage. They are not installed in the middle of each as I first thought. And they look the best installed at the front edge. The kit might look complicated but it all goes together quite easily and logically.
