Under-Cabinet Lighting Cost & Installation in Vancouver 2026
Under-Cabinet Lighting for Vancouver Kitchens
Under-cabinet lighting is one of the most impactful low-cost kitchen upgrades. For $600–$2,500, it transforms kitchen task lighting and aesthetics. This guide covers options, costs, and the best time to install.
Under-Cabinet Lighting Types and Costs
| Type | Supply + Install | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| LED puck lights (hardwired) | $400–$900 | Simple, discreet |
| LED strip lights (hardwired) | $600–$1,500 | Continuous light, most popular |
| Smart LED strip (Philips Hue) | $900–$2,500 | Colour temperature control |
| Plug-in LED bars | $200–$500 | No electrician needed, visible cord |
Best Time to Install
Hardwired under-cabinet lighting is best installed during kitchen renovation (when walls are open) — retrofitting into finished cabinets requires fishing wire and costs 40–60% more. If renovating, budget $600–$1,500 to hardwire during construction.
