You did such a great job with this video and I'm so appreciative of you sharing your expertise. We are in the middle of a kitchen install that we are trying to do ourselves bc there aren't any installers in our area. We just have the frames up and we think this is probably the best time to install the lighting. I wanted to avoid using the outlet under the cabinets as you did in this video, per the customer, but I'm wondering where you would recommend that we have an outlet installed that wouldn't be seen. Above the cabinets or behind them? Our cabinets go to the ceiling with about a 3" gap. We will be putting in a trim piece to hide the gap. Do you have any video showing a receptacle inside the cabinet and how that was done? Again, thanks!! This is so incredibly helpful!!!
Hello! I would make myself a socket above the cabinets or put an light bulb power supply on the top of the cabinet and the wire stretched the bi behind the drywall and connected to the inside of the socket and used a portable switch, as in this video: at 5:03 ruclips.net/video/cyTjumjgIMU/видео.html
Great video, I was just wondering where is the best location to install the electrical receptacle in the back of the lower drawers so it does not interfere with the drawers?
I've got a strip of under cabinet Mittled lights that are misbehaving. It's a recent install and the strips towards the end of an approximately 2m run of lights are not always lighting up when they are switched on. My instinct is just to remove and replace. But I'm not sure how to remove exactly and/or whether the length of the strip may be an issue?
@@maxplus2849 I see. I would only like undercabinet lighting not inside cabinet lighting. So I would just attach the lights underneath and the cable feed into the cabinet to the PowerPoint yes? Thanks
You turn on the lights once, and then you use a controller. Here you can watch me do it in this video: ruclips.net/video/cyTjumjgIMU/видео.html start at 3:20
I've been wondering if I could avoid the remote control by installing the motion sensor LED strips to the hinged cabinets too (instead of the spotlights)
The drawer lights are actually a proximity sensor rather than a motion sensor. When the drawer is closed, the drawer front is up against the proximity switch which turns the light off. The pot lights and under cabinet lights can be switched and dimmed using the Tradfri wireless dimmer switch.
Hi there! We are looking to install these exact lights in our kitchen. We have one stand alone 24" cabinet, then the range hood, then a 24" cabinet and another 15" cabinet. We also want a puck light in the 15" cabinet. How many drivers, connection cords and power supply cords do we need? Also, for the driver - should we use 10w or 30w? Thanks again for such an informative video, it's super helpful 😊
I got some great tips from this video on how to route the power cables for the lighting. It's a shame the power cables are just plugged into outlets sitting under the cabinets however. We will be having our contractor put switched power outlets above the cabinets so we don't see them
In this case it was put into the plug, in other cases electrics do all kids of things to make it seamless :) again, all about how the customer wants to do it :)
Hi, If i have 2 led lights connected to the wireless driver, would I be able to switch them off separately, or the wireless control switches off everything together that is connected to the driver?
Beautiful execution by a highly skilled and well equipped worker. My only criticism is the casual use of the knife. Often when it was completely unnecessary. If craft teaching is your aim then I suggest you avoid the knife altogether. Unless it is absolutely required. Or, provide clear instructions on first aid. For dressing deep cuts and tips on reaching the emergency services for stitches.
@@maxplus2849 I haven't any ... just to mark the part of the video I am interested in watching the most ... thank you for this guide I watched it many times and it was very helpful
So watching this has made me reakise just how crap my joiner was. He built the kitchen and forgot about the lights and now I can't fit them without ripping the kitchen back out. Which I'm not doing.
When you open the back compartment of the remote control - you will see a small button. You take the remote controller and hold it next to the power unit and press that button in the back compartment and hold it for 10 seconds, the light should start blinking and that should set it up to work.
Impressive...but you unplug the electricity connection to open and close the lights 😂 It costed hundreds just in lighting and its not connected to a wall interruptors
Єдине нормальне в цьому це нижні тумби. Решта фігня повна. У верхніх тумбах світло буде світити постійно. Поки хтось не залізе на тумбу і не виключить його, це не зручно.
Шикарное освещение, но включения ,на проводе, надо переделать ,ближе к вилке, к розетки!! Это не куда не годно!! Запрыгивать на шкаф чтоб включить.....!!¡
I am watching this thinking this guy does everything the opposite of how I would do it, down to taking measurements and peeling the adhesive strips off. The guy is left handed. Guess who is a righty?
thats totally wrong... you must do it like i did. 1. dont look at the instructions 2. hang the cabinets on the wall 3. hang the cabinets the right way 4. look at the instructions for the light systems 5. debate with yourself if it is really worth it to take down the cabinets or if its ok to install it sloppy while hanging 6. watch this video 7. man i dont want to... 8. did it the right way 👍 thanks for the video
Such precision! Great camera coverage! Thank you
Glad you liked it.
I was just looking for a simple diy video, this was next level
Glad you liked it!
You really hit it out of the park with this one!! You are master at what you do. Thank you so much for the video and your extreme talent!!
Thank you, glad you found the video useful.
Super clean job man. I can always respect great attention to detail and making everything perfectly snug.
Glad you like it
How are you switching the wall cabinet lights on and off??

Thank u! I couldn’t decide to install lights first or after cabinets were on wall. :)
Glad I could help!
Great video, I was just wondering where is the best location to install the electrical receptacle in the back of the lower drawers so it does not interfere with the drawers?
Yes, I would install a outlet at the bottom at the back
very beautiful technique and video tutorial
Thank you so much 😀

You know where can I buy those lamps? Where can I buy them. Thank you
These are Ikea lamps. They've updated to a new version of them, but it's pretty much the same thing.
NIce... may be doing that, didn't even think about lighting for my garage remodel.
Go for it!
Are these easy to replace after the cabinet is all put together? I'm guessing no.
You disconnect the light from the wires and change it, as well as the transformer, so you don’t need to stick out the wire to change the light.
never able to understand how to customize drawer light for ikea. Please suggest if there is any solution
But benchtop. How did you install it? Many thanks
Tidy and informative. ⭐️
Thank you!
I wonder is it easy to replace if one light is broken?
Yes, it’s easy, you don’t need to change the wire, you don’t need to remove the cabinets, you just need to change the light bulb under the cabinet.
Is there any reason the lights used on the drawers couldn't be used in say something like a garage tool box?
Yeah they can be used anywhere, you just have to figure out how to attach them. These lamps are made to match the Ikea cabinet sizes.
How did you plug the lights for the bottom cabinets? Is there an outlet inside cabinets?
The electrician later ran an outlet in the bottom cabinets
once the light bar is cliked in, can you remove it?
yes you can, you just need to pull it a little stronger, but be careful not break the clips :)
Can the undercabinet lighting be added to finished cabinetry? There is PowerPoint inside the cabinet. Thanks
Yes you can, but it may be hard if your cabinets are hung up to the ceiling.
@@maxplus2849 I see. I would only like undercabinet lighting not inside cabinet lighting. So I would just attach the lights underneath and the cable feed into the cabinet to the PowerPoint yes? Thanks
Yes, in that case we just install the PowerPoint under the cabinets as well - it works out well.
what are those wire channel thing? is it from ikea?
Yes, these are all wires from Ikea.
How easy is it to turn on and off the cupboard lights? Seemed like the switch was above the cupboard.
You turn on the lights once, and then you use a controller. Here you can watch me do it in this video:

I've been wondering if I could avoid the remote control by installing the motion sensor LED strips to the hinged cabinets too (instead of the spotlights)
In this case no. I've seen it in some Ikea closet systems, but yeah, unfortunately not in this case.
How do the drawer lights have motion sensor but the lights under the cabinets do not? Super cool by the way!! I love the final result!!
They are different light systems, so they designed to work different.
The drawer lights are actually a proximity sensor rather than a motion sensor. When the drawer is closed, the drawer front is up against the proximity switch which turns the light off.
The pot lights and under cabinet lights can be switched and dimmed using the Tradfri wireless dimmer switch.
@@maxplus2849 Nice work!! Can you provide the drawer light brand and style worth the motion sensor thank you
Wow wonderful work
Thank you so much 😀
Hi there! We are looking to install these exact lights in our kitchen. We have one stand alone 24" cabinet, then the range hood, then a 24" cabinet and another 15" cabinet.

Thanks again for such an informative video, it's super helpful 😊
If you want to use lights in all three cabinets (24, 24, & 15) then one 30W transformer and 1 cord should be enough.
@@maxplus2849 thank you so much!!!
@@maxplus2849 one last question... Would you recommend we also get the tradfri wireless dimmer and if we do, do we need extra cords or other hardware?
With the wireless dimmer it is easier, and no you don't need any cords... It's really up to you what you want to do :)
What is the name of the white cable organizer that you used to hide the cables?
Nice video btw!
I don't know what it's called, but it comes with the lamps. Next time I will be installing the lamps, I will get the name for you.
@@maxplus2849 Thanks a lot for the reply :)
This is insane. Thanks!!!
Glad you like it!
Looks great. I think I missed how or where these lights are getting their source of electricity 🤔.
It comes from the outlet. Electrician set up the outlet after I installed the cabinet and lights.
such an amazing video! can you always tie the cabinets together on the floor before hanging them ? :O
Very good job!!!! I will do the same for my kitchen
Thanks!

One of my Mittled is connected to another but on the one closest to the wire is lit...really sucks. I guess the other must be broken or something
Maybe it's broken...
Do you know what size mittled light goes with which size cabinet? The sizes don't match up between them.
The lamps sizes are made to fit all the different cabinets. Just read in the description and calculate how many you will need.
What are these ikea cabinets called?
AXSTAD
Bro, can we use 4 mittled inside a drawer, with high drawer on the bottom, medium drawer on the middle and 2 low inner drawer?
Yes you can... but I dont think you will need all 4.
Hi, If i have 2 led lights connected to the wireless driver, would I be able to switch them off separately, or the wireless control switches off everything together that is connected to the driver?
yes, Ikea makes it only that you switch off everything together.
Hello Max,
Can you connect the undercabinet lights to the same power source as your general lighting as to turn both on and off at same time. Thanks
Yes you can.
So these lights are always on?
No, they are regulated by a remote control that comes with these lights....
What if you need to replace the lights?:o
Easy. All you need to do is to unscrew the cover and change the bulbs, no need to touch the wires.
Fantastic, thanks
Glad you liked it!
Very cool although overkill on the base drawer lighting.
Thank you, I did whatever the customer wanted.
Very nice !!
Thank you!

Did not show how to set up the remote to control the cabinet light, it’s so hard to find a video to show how it works…. Man ….
When you open the back compartment of the remote control - you will see a small button. You take the remote controller and hold it next to the power unit and press that button in the back compartment and hold it for 10 seconds, the light should start blinking and that should set it up to work.
Hold it for longer than 10 seconds. I did it today
step 1: throw out the instructions. Got it!
Это что за сборка, на гвозди и саморезы
Такая технология зборки шкафов в Ikea
Those Mittled pot light screws will make you murderous.
Impressive...but you unplug the electricity connection to open and close the lights 😂
It costed hundreds just in lighting and its not connected to a wall interruptors
later, the electrics were hidden in the wall, and the light is turned off or turned on, on a portable switch
