Check out on Lowe’s Website item # 240222 and see if this is what you’re looking for. They also have them in black.

Buy the books at lowes, and you won’t need that fat guy who costs 20 an hour.
I gave a thumbs up for several good comments here but my vote was not counted.
do it wrong and burn your house down!!
hire a licensed electrician and save your life!!!
Great video! I’d be curious to see one showing how to hard wire the lights. In particular, what is the proper way of protecting the wires inside the wall? If a conduit should be used, how do you secure it to the wiring inside the wall at the point of entry? (assuming conduit is only used inside the wall and the wires are left as they are on the outside) Thank you for your help!
Nice illustration of the installation process. But I can’t find the lights they show on the Lowes web site! Lame!

Why not hard wire it? Just remove the plug using some electrical pliers and attach them into an existing 120v power outlet. No unsightly plugin.
Is it not “technically” rated for in wall installation because of the type of wiring?
Thanks。 Nice video
“No, you shouldn’t have to pull the fridge every time to turn off the lights.
He is installing a dimmer @ 3:28 (a way to control and turn off the lights as well) by routing the wire to the power supply which he mounted under one of the cabinets.
If you want to turn on the lights by way of a regular light switch, you have to buy and assemble a hard wiring cabinet light fixture. That requires more electrical work.
I hope this makes any sense.”
Do these types of lights have a switch? I’m interested in installing them but the power supply is the plug behind the fridge. Does this mean I’d have to pull the fridge out every time I wanted to turn it on???
nice vest, i want one! ;D
I would have missed that nail or hit my fingers several times at 2:52. I love carpentry work but suck at using a hammer.
Interesting video! Way to brightens my home!
