Hello everyone.

I want to illuminate the work surface but find that the Utrusta series is somewhat dim. It’s hard to judge this in the store because of the influence of external lighting.

How have you set up the lighting on your wall cabinets?

Best regards from Regensburg

Take a look here at how I solved this: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/aus-alt-mach-neu-oder-wie-phoenix-aus-der-asche.21098/
I am still very satisfied with this solution and also generally with the kitchen.

Ah, great, thanks! 🙂))

What I like about the Ikea solution is that I can easily add an outlet. But I will probably prefer your solution since LIGHT is more important to me 🙂

Maybe my friend (an electrician) has an idea about how to hide an outlet as well.

The power supplies for this are placed on my upper cabinets. The cables are long enough.
I used the "recommended" power supplies for this:

Black power supply with two-pin Euro plug and long cable

(I have two units, as there is a range hood between the two upper cabinets.)
