Here I'm installing under-cabinet lighting in the kitchen hard-wired to an existing receptacle and controlled by a dimmer switch. It's a fast, easy project to modernize a kitchen and add lighting where you spend time working every day. IMPORTANT: Please see pinned comment for an UPDATE! tldr: Don't leave the 14-2 romex cable exposed under the cabinet!
