Re: under kit. cabinet lighting

Here's a thought;Speak to your inspector re;puck lites.Even though they may be UL listed the problem is they can not be installed in a way that will satisfy code--you can't install the lo/vol zip cord that these fixtures come with ,in walls--if you splice w/romex [for the in the wall part of the job ]you void the UL LISTING for the product.
I have seen one puck lite installation that that was code compliant and listed--it came pre-installed in the kitchen cabnits[wall mounts no less].It was very expenssive.
Take it from a NYC Elec.Inspector.
