today's home improvement project, under cabinet lighting - davemchine - 02-05-2017

I've felt this was too dark for awhile now and decided to make the change. It was important to me that it not be visible so I went with ultra low profile lights. I used two Westek LED Surface Mount Accent Lighting Kit's. Here is the end results.

Nice! I was so pleased with ours because they too were invisible . . unless you're sitting down.

Superb!
We did undercab lights with our remodel several years ago. MUCH better now, with no windows in that area, it was not pleasant for a work space. You will like it.

How wide is the opening of those doors? They look interestingly narrow.

maybe they use really small plates, you know, eat less for a healthier life Smile

EDIT: cool job man, and your kitchen look nice, and neat. There is always something on my counter, I can never keep it empty like in these photos.

That was what struck me too. I've never seen anything like that and can't imagine why anyone would install such skinny cabinets.

Those doors ARE pretty narrow at 10". My wife recently bought a new set of dishes with two sizes of plates. The smaller ones at 9.5" are no problem but the larger 12" plates had to go in the corner cabinet which is to the right of what is visible in these pictures.

Ah, so my guess with small plate seas at least half right Smile
