Had my undercabinet lights installed years ago by an electrician. He placed them at the rear of the cabinet, next to the wall.

I didn't notice until he finished and I came to inspect his work. I was so upset, but it was too late to change it.

As the person who actually works in the kitchen and uses the lights, I would prefer that the undercabinet lights be installed along the front edge of the cabinet, so that they light up the counter where I am working. The wall does not need to be lit up, the workspace does.

There is a lip along the front of the cabinet that can hide the light, or a small piece of molding added.
