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.
