Transform your kitchen with professional under-cabinet lighting that eliminates shadows, highlights your countertops, and creates beautiful ambiance. Unity Power & Light installs hardwired LED lighting systems throughout Aiken, SC—delivering clean, professional results that last for decades.
Unlike plug-in systems with visible cords and bulky transformers, our hardwired installations hide all wiring inside walls and cabinets for a seamless, built-in appearance. We work with homeowners, contractors, and kitchen designers to deliver lighting solutions that enhance both function and beauty.
Our Under-Cabinet Lighting Services
LED Light Bar Installation
Rigid aluminum fixtures that deliver focused, bright task lighting. Individual bars connect to provide even coverage across your entire counter length with superior heat dissipation for maximum LED lifespan.
LED Strip/Tape Light Installation
Flexible LED strips that provide continuous, seamless illumination from cabinet to cabinet. Perfect for creating uniform lighting without dark spots or transitions between fixtures.
Puck Light Installation
Individual circular fixtures that create focused pools of light—ideal for accent lighting, highlighting specific work areas, or providing task lighting in smaller kitchens.
Why Choose Hardwired Installation?
The difference between plug-in and hardwired under-cabinet lighting is dramatic. Hardwired systems deliver professional results that plug-in alternatives simply cannot match.
Clean, Professional Appearance
Superior Control & Functionality
Professional hardwired installation also ensures code compliance, proper circuit protection, and safe electrical connections. Our licensed electricians have the tools and expertise to run wire concealed within walls without damaging finishes—something DIY installations rarely achieve.
Dimmer Switch Integration
Dimmable under-cabinet lighting adds versatility that transforms your kitchen from bright workspace to comfortable gathering area. We install LED-compatible dimmer switches specifically designed for low-voltage LED systems, ensuring smooth operation without flickering or buzzing.
Standard LED Dimmers
High-quality dimmer switches that provide smooth control from full brightness down to 5-10%. Compatible with all major LED under-cabinet lighting systems, these dimmers eliminate the flickering and buzzing common with incompatible switches.
Smart Dimmer Switches
Wi-Fi enabled dimmers that integrate with Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit. Control your lights via voice commands, smartphone apps, or automation schedules. Create custom scenes and lighting schedules for ultimate convenience.
Our Installation Process
We handle every aspect of your under-cabinet lighting installation—from planning and electrical work to fixture mounting and final testing. Here's what to expect:
Consultation & Planning
We assess your cabinet layout, discuss your lighting preferences, and recommend the best fixtures and controls for your needs. We'll identify switch locations, determine electrical access points, and provide a detailed quote.
Electrical Rough-In
Our licensed electricians run electrical wire from your breaker panel or nearby junction box to under-cabinet locations. All wiring is concealed within walls and cabinet interiors, meeting National Electrical Code and South Carolina requirements.
Fixture Installation
We mount LED fixtures to cabinet undersides with proper alignment and spacing. All electrical connections are made using appropriate connectors, and fixtures are secured to prevent sagging or falling.

Wall switches or dimmer controls are installed in convenient locations near other kitchen switches. We handle any drywall work needed and provide clean, professional finishes around all switch installations.
Testing & Final Adjustments
We test all fixtures, verify proper dimming operation, and ensure even illumination across all counter areas. We make any necessary adjustments before completing the job and cleaning up the work area.
Fixture Options & Color Temperature
We offer professional-grade LED fixtures in various styles and color temperatures to match your kitchen design and personal preferences.
