I'm renting so can't make screw holes in the cabinets. Would I be able to install this light using 3M Command doubled sided mounting strips?

You should be able to - it's very light weight. If you will be installing it on the underside of a cabinet or shelf, so that it "hangs", or if it's above a sink or in a room where there's a lot of humidity or steam, I might suggest using some of the Command (or other brand) heavy duty velcro strips. since I'm not sure how the adhesive strips will perform when they're constantly exposed to moisture.

You would have to put quite a few on (more than two or three) to hold it on. The tricky part is how much heat the light unit generates. Over a period of time it might melt or permanently alter the mounting strips so you might have trouble getting them off. There might also be a tiny chance of a fire (but I doubt it). I don't think it would be a good idea, but if you are desperate. . .

I'm not familiar with those mounting strips. I used screws. If you're asking if the fixture is relatively lightweight, it is. If you're asking whether the part that attaches to the wall/ceiling/cabinets is perfectly flat, it looks that way, but I can't say with absolute certainty without taking it down. Looking at the instructions that came with it, it does appear that there is a good length of a flat surface that would work with mounting strips, as long as the mounting strips will work under the conditions that might exist around the light (for example, I have mine over a sink, where it is sometimes exposed to steam; I'd be nervous with only mounting strips). If you want to see the instructions that come with the fixture, I could not find them on the GE website, but did find them here: http://www.smarthome.com/manuals/59568.pdf. I hope that this helps!

I just saw this question and the answer is yes! I have one inside a closet mounted with those strips. It works wonderfully!!! I just used one on each end since it was drywall. On wood, I might use 3 or 4. I have also mounted these with zipties on each end when there is something to thread the tie through on top (like a wire shelf.)

I bought mounting tape. The light is not heavy and I didn't want holes through my cabinets

You should be able to. I hid mine around a window frame and connected LED strips from one kitchen cabinet to the next.

The lights I purchased have a two wire pig tail on one end to attach to the required power supply. The other end was simply cut square. I did purchase end connectors that had two wires attached (+Red and -Black) that the square cut end of the light strip would plug into. Conceivable you could daisy chain several strips together using that arrangement as long as your power supply is rated for the current. I'm sure some supplier has a type of connector that accepts the raw ends of two strips for an electrical connection. It should be noted that the lights in strip form are not protected from the elements or contact with metallic surfaces. Mine are placed behind a wood molding under the cabinets. I modified the molding to place the strip at a 45 degree angle and just hot glued them in place. Easier than any other lighting I looked at. The power supply is very compact and efficient. I think they are excellent. There is an even flooding of light over the countertop and they always run cool. Good Luck with your project.

There is no "knockout" on the cover, but you could easily drill a hole into the plastic and run the wires through there. If you are lucky enough to receive your lights with unbroken bushings that hold the lights in place, the unit allows for at least 90 degree swiveling of the lights in two directions, so you can top-mount or wall mount. There is no need to do drill holes if nothing inside is broken.

Absolutely, you will take a three wire circuit from existing lighting circuit. Use a 4" square box to mount to wall

Hi Rob, I attached these lights directly to the bottom of some Kraftmaid cabinets. The cabinets have a very smooth polyurethane finish. The tape is separating in a few spots. They haven't fallen off, but I question it for the long-term. Another method would be to router a grove in the bottom of your railing and insert a mounting channel (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0080IB4E0/ref=s9_simh_gw_p60_d2_i3?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf;_rd_s=desktop-4&pf;_rd_r=1H5XQQDR5387MRXBZRFV&pf;_rd_t=36701&pf;_rd_p=1970566842&pf;_rd_i=desktop), and put the lights in there. Search for 'mounting channel' on Amazon and you will find some options. Good luck! Hi Rob, I attached these lights directly to the bottom of some Kraftmaid cabinets.

It could work but I would drill the hole first then put the screw. Make sure use flat head screw so it will flush with the strip.

I think u must not want to drill holes ...so if i'm thinking what u mean I woulde use a good two sided tape...bet it would work for what u want...Joe

Need to be creative to be able to do that. You may clamp the light onto fixtures on the wall. A direct wall mounting light would be a better option.

I installed this awhile back, but i had to make sure the screw was going through the thickest part of my cabinet. If your cabinets are very thin, it might not work with the provided screws and you might have to get smaller ones at the hardware store. You could reinforce the organizer on the door with some sticky tape too if you need to use smaller screws.

According to the directions a light kit can be purchased. We didn't want one so I didn't investigate further. Also it can be flush mounted. That is how mine is installed.

You can use double sided tape. I used the Ergo Grip Tactical Light Switch Mount Kit (Black)

You cannot use your existing mounting holes. You must make new ones so you can adjust them accordingly.

Please use 1 J bracket on each side. Screws are provided with the 18" under cabinet light.

I discarded the mount and used two electrician's wire ties to mount my light. Because the light is bigger in the middle, it can't slip out at either end.

I'm not sure about that -- perhaps. I have my strip sqrewed into the side of my wood kitchen cabinet. But I think command strips might work.
