Strip lights and light bars are commonly used for under-cabinet lighting, but many people struggle to decide which fixture is right for them. The choice of whether to use strip lights or rigid light bars is entirely up to your specific installation needs.
Strip lights might be the best option if you need customized lighting since these lights can be bent and cut to fit any installation. Most LED strip lights come in lengths of 5m or longer which allows you to easily light up your cabinets with a single light fixture or trim the strip into the exact desired length. For long runs of light, strip lights would likely be the most economical fixture. Many people also choose flexible LED strips for the wide range of color display options they offer. The aluminum extrusions for strip lights also come in a variety of colors and styles which allows you to find the best housing to match your cabinets.
On the other hand, if you want a plug-and-play fixture that comes ready to install, choose linear light bars. Most light bars come installation-ready with their built-in diffusers and covers, unlike strip lights which require you to attach them to mounting channels or cut them into specific segment lengths. These fixtures can be more straightforward and simpler to pick out since you do not have to worry about controller or aluminum housing compatibility. For installation above stoves or locations with varying heat and moisture, light bars might be a more durable solution.
