Of course, the best time to install wiring for undercabinet lights is during a kitchen remodel, before the walls are covered with drywall. But if you want undercabinet lighting and aren’t planning any major renovations, don’t despair. The wiring plan we show in this article is designed to work in almost any kitchen, and can be installed without visible damage to the walls. And since we’re using the inside of the base cabinets to run wires, you don’t even need access to a basement or attic.

Make sure you can use Romex in your area. In Chicago we have to use conduit. There is an exception: in many cases flex can be used with discrete wires pulled through it (for situations like remodeling recessed cans that can't be installed with conduit). We can't even use prewired like Greenfield.
