        "text": "The cost to add under-cabinet lighting depends on the number of cabinet runs, fixture quality, wiring complexity, and power supply placement. On a standard kitchen renovation, dedicating a portion of the electrical budget covers dedicated circuits, low-voltage transformers, dimmers, and professional installation. Factors that increase scope include routing wires across broken wall sections—such as gaps created by a range hood or window—which require separate wire runs or multiple transformers. Opting for integrated, dimmable LED channels during rough-in reduces labor compared to attempting to retrofit wiring after finishes are complete.",
