Will these work to add lighting above my kitchen cabinets? Does this come complete or do I need to buy anything else

They should be great for your application. You can get dimmers for these and you will need a transformer if you will run on AC.

you have to buy a adapter like this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KKU7U6W

I think that's a great idea. Yes, we did have to use a separate adapter (Power Converter) is what my husband calls it. He did all that because I am not very savvy on such things. I did not look, but I would guess the seller would have anything else that is required.

This is the exact application I used it for. It throws a nice uniform light the entire length of the strip. You will need to purchase a12v DC adapter which will then plug into a standard outlet.

I'm an electrical contractor and we do use these as "effects indirect type lighting" in kitchens and baths....I don't think it comes with a 12V transformerbut it's very reasonably priced and a 12V transformer is very inexpensive. We use them quite often and have had no call backs to date.

Yes, it is that long but you can cut it down if you wish. They do not offer additional light fixtures separately so the only way to add lights is to order 2 or more kits. just watch total wattage when adding additional lights. I have mine on a 600 watt dimmer switch which would allow me to have up to 10 - 50 Watt bulbs.

The lights are about 1" in thickness and are well hidden by standard (kraftmaid cabinets for example) front overhang, if that is your concern. If you are asking if the lighting itself is suitable for your application, I can only say that the quality of light is bright and white. A dimmer kit is included in each light in the event that you are wiring them to a wall switch for use with a dimmer. In that case, the light(s) can be dimmed down to a soft glow. Hope this answers your question.

They can be placed anyway one would like to place them with the limitation of the length of the wires. I placed them one under each door of the upper cabinets and One at each door on top of the cabinets. They're great I almost don't need other lights in the kitchen when these are on.

This would be ideal! You wouldn't have to worry about screwing in, could use sticky pads & they would stay! I needed under cabinet lighting just not bright enough for that , you just gave me an idea!

You should not need anything else to install the lights. I created a fuse able link during my installation just as a preventive measure, but that option is up to you.

I just put them over the light. I had to cut slots for the wiring. They are heavy enough to stay in place.

I installed these in my kitchen for under cabinet lights and they are plenty bright. You should plan to run a strip the length of each shelf. They are available in different lengths. Leave a bit of room at each end to make the connection.

Yes you can and I did. Ge makes a low profile junction box (model 24772, sold on Amazon) that links your household circuit and these lights. Mount it under your cabinet, then you just add additional together with the link cables supplied with the lights. Works very well and I really like the bright white light these units put out.

They came with a wax block that u attach to the bottom and light. Just make sure you attach securely before lighting, as they fall off easily.

Not enough information. I assume you want to hide the wiring, not the lighting. A lot depends on the cabinet color, wall color, and the side/front cabinet drop below the bottom shelf.

The lights do come with everything I needed for install. You do have to be careful though. The decorative base that attaches to the ceiling was much smaller than the cutout from my previous pendant lights. As a result, I had to be creative to cover the drywall cutout that was exposed. Also had to send one back within a month due to halogen transformer failure. Exchange was seamless.

That would work as you can keep adding extensions. Make sure though you screw the fixtures into the wall. Just for stability.

These are only lights, there is nothing else provided, including instructions. You will need to build/obtain a transformer, connection to a power source, and waterproof case for the connection and transformer. Unless you are familiar with building light systems, this is not a good product. After receiving the lights, I determined it would cost another $100 or so for the needed materials and a few hours to make the rig.

I think so, we did 4 of these all at same time and the lights are all we need for a small bedroom. NOT a night-light low wattage lamp - a regular ceiling fixture brightness

I would recommend more as well and would probably advise you to supplement these lights with another type of light. For instance I would not hesitate to use these because they are excellent for overhead lighting (when spaced properly), but I would add track lighting to really showcase work or provide more task lighting.

I used candelabera lights. I already had them but you could find them anywhere including Lowes and Home Depot or even Walmart.
