Installation Tips For LED Tape Lighting
1 For maximum light output , mount the tape light underneath the cabinet approximately 1-2 inches behind the front cabinet edge .
2 If your countertop is highly reflective , mount the tape light on the inside back of the cabinet frame facing toward the backsplash .
3 If you don ’ t have a cabinet lip to attach to or want to hide the light strip , add a piece of quarter-round molding to the bottom of the cabinet .
