HOW TO INSTALL LED UNDER-CABINET LIGHTING

Under-cabinet lights are installed through hard wiring or directly plugging them in. The fixture is hard-wired to the main power source in a hard-wired installation. In the case of a hard-wired installation, the lights can either be operated by the main switch or the switch on the light. 

Plug-in fixtures are not as tidy as a hard-wired installation because of the open wiring of the plug-in installation.
