3po3 on Feb 06, 2012It should be fairly simple for an electrician to add a wall switch for you if you replace the lights. There are some really efficient LED undercabinet lights that give off nice light. Here are some GE lights that fit your specs and should be a good option: http://tinyurl.com/7eh77k4 As far as an installer, a couple of good electricians spend time here on Hometalk and offer good advice: http://www.hometalk.com/member/5uefoktm5b http://www.hometalk.com/member/uzxxvighpz You might start with these guys.5wi5 See ProfileHelpful Reply

The Kitchen and Bath Showroom on Feb 08, 2012An electrician should be able to help you out on this but there are definitely options out there to get all of your undercabinet lights to come on with one switch. My customers tend to go with Xenons - they are dimmable, function on a single switch, and are a little less expensive than LEDs.Helpful Reply

Designs by BSB on Feb 18, 2012Xenon is by far the most popular choice here in Atlanta, they dont get as hot as halogen puks and not nearly as expensive as LED. Hopefully the electrician can solve your switching with little effort/cost!Helpful Reply

LandlightS on Feb 24, 2012I would suggest you look a Juno T12 low voltage system. Uses either a loop end lamp or a festoon type lamp, both Xenon, and give a better distribution of light. No "hot spots" that you get with puck lighting. And easy to install (sorry, I'm on an iPad and can't add a link.....but I will later today)Helpful Reply
