Browse Forums Lighting + Lighting Design 1 Feb 18, 2009 9:09 am How much did your builder charge for under cupboard down lights in the kitchen? I'm thinking they might be a good minimalist idea but not sure how much they would be? We are yet to do our electrical plan. Re: Under cupboard down light 2Feb 19, 2009 9:52 pm We are putting four in place in total. Builders are charging us $196 per downlight. Kitchen's are always worth having nice functional and feature lighting in.

they must be awesome lights for that! or there must be some cupboard work to suit them. Licenced Sparky and Data Cabler If "The Data Guys" is too long to type, TDG will do. Re: Under cupboard down light 4Feb 20, 2009 7:51 am I think our builder charges $150 - they need to be built in to the cabinetry.
Another option - get your builder to put power outlets in the hood of the exhaust so that you can get a sparky to put them in later - but it won't look as neat. After 4 years - we're in! Re: Under cupboard down light 5Feb 20, 2009 10:37 am It's interesting to see the difference in pricing between builders.
Our builder has charged us $220.00 extra for the 2 under-cupboard downlights in our kitchen. That is, $110.00ea and these are not visible from the inside of the cupboard.

Re: Under cupboard down light 6Feb 20, 2009 12:50 pm She+He+3+3, is that a ceiling light I see over your bench ? Any chance of a good shot of it ? And where did you buy it ? thanks Built the Eden Brae Cambridge 34 Family with Boston Corner Facade Re: Under cupboard down light 7Feb 20, 2009 1:04 pm The Data Guys woah. that's a lot of coin for lights! they must be awesome lights for that! or there must be some cupboard work to suit them. Woah indeed... We went with long flouro lights under the kitchen cupboards....just got the cabinet makers to lift the bottom of the cupboards up by 40mm, so that the doors would conceal the flouros. Downlights look nice but as l will using the benches as a workspace too l wanted something that illuminated the area better. I dunno how much extra the lights will cost me, but it's not much as my BIL is supplying installing all of our extra light points, tv, phone & power points, switches; even all the light fittings too (ceiling fans, downlights, oysters, sensor lights, exterior lights, wallights, pendants, mirror lights and even my crystal pendant) is included in his quote ...we have saved an absolute wad of cash!! Re: Under cupboard down light 9Feb 21, 2009 11:46 pm Hi Southies, sorry just found your post.
That is a fluro in the centre of the kitchen, we actually have down lights above the bench. We purchased from DeLights for $155.0 but have found them online here: http://shop.micaunited.com.au/details/2204711.html I love cooking and wanted to be sure I would not have any poor lighting issues, so covered all my bases!

Re: Under cupboard down light 11Feb 23, 2009 10:25 am Southies yes, that link is to the exact same light we have installed. There is a smaller version available also and we have used the square version in our study.

Re: Under cupboard down light 13Feb 23, 2009 10:30 am Are these prices for installing into a new kitchen while the kitchen is being built?
How about an existing kitchen? Are there battery operated options for downlights under cabinets above the benchtops? Hi I bought an old cupboard that is in desperate need of some TLC.
