easy

way to get that beautiful

lighting

that Tusk illuminates in your

kitchen

or home area so I want to show you how I installed it on my coffee bar today and then show you how much this feature so let's jump to a lot of You know, recently my husband and I did a DIY kitchen renovation and one thing we wanted to be on our list was under

cabinet

lighting, but if you've ever tried putting in under cabinet lighting, you know that it can be a bit complicated. find the lighting that really works for you number one, they have those that just don't work well or are very difficult to install.

I have one that is easy to install, is really easy to use, and has so many wonderful features. en Osram lights a fire. I love this set here and basically what I love is that you can customize it to your needs. You don't have to buy this entire kit and you know you're getting all this stuff that you don't need. I love that it has such easy to use options and so many simple ways to bring so many different effects to your kitchen with under cabinet lighting that I'm going to share with you and so you basically buy the pieces that you need there. they are standard pieces that you are going to need and then you buy the additional pieces to complete your space, so I'm going to walk you through that today so that here you can buy the pieces that you need, one thing that you are Regardless of which gateway you will need, you buy one of these gateways, you plug it into your home outlet because this connects your light to your Wi-Fi, allowing you to control your lights and things from your phone and you're really going to love it when it shows you all the features and things that this will help you to be able to obtain in your space.

Now these are the connectors. This is something you can buy if you need extenders and such while installing it. It depends on your is your space and what you are installing, you may need it, you may not need it, so you know it's just an option so you can have the lift that you need for the installation now, the next thing they have is that they have the light of fire. the reflector, this is simple, just screw the light on. I put this over my kitchen sink, great for functional light, it's also great for that warmth in the room and again you'll be able to control it from your mobile device and when I say mobile device it's Apple and Android phones so it's great you can use it with your iPhone or your Android phone.

You're just going to download the app from Google Play or App Store and that's it, and here it is. what the lights look like I wanted to show you this because they are very thin so let's move on to installing the coffee bar lights here okay for my coffee bar. I'm going to need this kit here along with my gateway now again when I buy that gateway which is all I need for my entire kitchen but the kit here is specifically for my coffee bar which are flexible light strips of 2 feet I have here and this will be enough to place under my coffee bar and give all the lighting I need.

I'm going to need my controller here and that's included in the box and my power supply and that will give me power so the first thing I'm determining is where I'm going to plug in. my power supply because I don't want it to be seen, so we had a plug installed inside the cabinet, you know, so you couldn't see it, so the first thing I'm going to do is just plug it in and get that in position and then I I'm going to unplug it while I install it but I want to make sure we drill a hole in the bottom of the cabinet so we can put it through but ideally we want everything to be hidden as you can see it's plugged into the back cabinet and it's powered through from the hole that we drilled there and then I plugged it into my controller here and that's all I'm going to have to do as far as my connectivity.

In addition to my lights, it has the adhesive on the back of the controller so I can easily place it under the cabinet so it doesn't show, so I love it, but you have to make sure you have the plug. partly so you can plug in the lights and then I'm just running my cable back through my cabinet so I can hide all those cables and that point, folks, I'm just plugging my strip lights in there. I'm connecting it directly to the controller and then I'll connect the other end of the light strip to the other light strip and keep going down until I have enough for my cabinet underneath and they have areas in the lighting that you can cut it, it's indicated with scissors so you can get the right size that you need under your cabinet so it works great here you can see everything is connected and I have it ready to go under my cabinet.

I just pull it back. the adhesive on the lighting and stick it under the cabinet and you're done, then just plug in your power supply, make sure your gateway is plugged into one of your outlets and then from that point we'll just download the osram light to v app and I'm ready. This works for all the lights in my kitchen and now I can really enjoy the lights. It took me no time to install and as you can see here, it just gives off a nice warmth. Light under my coffee bar, but I can adjust it to give me whatever I want now that I have it all set up here.

It has presets here where you can make a plant light if you have plants under your cabinet and you want to give them special lights. which are really good for them you have active lights if you need them for lighting tasks you know you have relaxing lights if you want them just for a type of relaxation I can change the colors to any color I want to say during the holidays I want to put red lights underneath or whatever I want to do, I can make it so you can adjust the brightness and you know you can dim it.

You can preset it so that it can be set to turn on at a certain time. When I wake up in the morning, if I want to walk around and have a beautiful environment in my kitchen, I can do that now, I just have to set it to turn on at 9:00 o'clock every day so that when I get my coffee down. The bar is illuminated and ready to go. I can even customize it. I can take a photo of anything and it will take that color from that image and then the lights can be that color so you can customize the lights to any color possible. you really want under cabinet lighting, just look at how it adds so much to my kitchen, it really works well and I am very happy with it, but it really sold me on it because I have tried under cabinet lighting before. and I'm not happy with it, but my brand Osram light was very easy to install and it really is great quality, that's what I love about it and I love the fact that I can adjust it to different colors at Christmas.

I can make it red to make it festive in the kitchen or you know, I can make it as test lighting if I'm working on something or I'm cooking and I really need that task lighting or if we're just having a you know. a nice, quiet, relaxing dinner and I want nice warm lights in the kitchen. I can have that, you know, there's a lot you can do with it, so I hope that was useful to you because it really was something that was useful. for me and it's really easy to install and it's something I can do myself and I love it so I'm going to put a link in the description box below.

If you are interested, please let me know if you have any questions. I hope you are all well and I will see you in the next video. This is Nikki saying goodbye to you.
