Before you begin the installation, make sure you have all the required tools and materials. You will need:
Decide where you want to install the under cabinet lights and measure accordingly. Ensure that you have a power source nearby, as this will determine the placement options. Make sure to consider the length of the lighting strips and cut them to fit the desired areas if necessary, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Clean the installation area thoroughly to ensure proper adhesion. If using screws, mark the spots where you'll need to drill pilot holes. Be cautious and avoid drilling through any electrical wiring or plumbing. If you prefer to use adhesive mounting tape, ensure that the surface is clean and dry for optimal adhesion.
Using screws or adhesive mounting tape, secure the lighting strips or individual adjustable lights in the chosen locations. If you're using screws, gently drill pilot holes and then attach the lights using a screwdriver. If you prefer adhesive mounting tape, remove the protective covering from the tape and press the lights firmly in place.
Route the cables neatly, ensuring they are hidden and out of the way. You can use cable clips or ties to secure the cables to the underside of the cabinets or any other suitable locations. Take your time to ensure a clean and organized appearance.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to connect the power supply to the lights. Typically, this involves plugging an adapter into a power outlet and connecting the lights to the adapter using the provided cables.
If you haven't already, set up your Alexa-enabled device (e.g., Echo, Echo Dot, or Echo Show) according to the instructions provided with it. Make sure your device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your under cabinet lighting system.
Enable the corresponding skill for your Works with Alexa Smart Under Cabinet Lighting system on the Alexa app. This step may require you to sign in to your account and follow the prompts to complete the integration.
