Guardian installs and replaces under-cabinet lighting for Myrtle Beach kitchens and workspaces. We help bring light onto the counter with fixtures, wiring and controls planned around cabinet breaks, appliances, reflections and the finishes already in place.
On this page: Project details · Common questions
Plan the light and controls
Review the room or outdoor area, fixture specifications, desired brightness and switching.
Confirm support and wiring access
Check mounting support, existing wiring and compatibility between fixtures and controls.
Confirm scope, permits and scheduling
We identify permit and inspection requirements for the property jurisdiction. Utility coordination is included when the work affects its equipment or supply. You receive the proposed scope before approving the work.
Complete the work and check operation
We complete the agreed electrical work, test the relevant installation and explain operation, findings and any follow-up. Required official inspections are a separate part of completion.
LED tape can produce a continuous run, linear fixtures cover defined sections, and puck lights create individual pools of light. Cabinet gaps, corners and a range hood affect how the pieces connect. We discuss whether the goal is bright preparation light, a soft evening setting or both.
Placement also affects shadows and reflections. A glossy counter can reveal individual bright points; a diffuser can soften the visible light source in a suitable system. Cabinet lips and seated viewing angles influence whether equipment is visible. Under cabinet lighting should work with the room’s other lighting instead of leaving the counter a noticeably different color.
Some systems use a hardwired connection; others use an approved plug-in supply. Low-voltage tape and puck lights need a suitable driver or power supply matched to the product. Low voltage describes part of the system; it does not eliminate the need to plan the connection supplying it.
The location of the supply, accessible servicing and cable routes should be decided with the cabinet layout. Not every tape can be cut or joined in the same way. Guardian reviews the selected product instructions instead of treating separate strips, connectors and drivers as interchangeable parts.
A dimmable light still needs the right driver and control arrangement. Some systems accept an appropriate wall dimmer; others use their own low-voltage controller. Mixing incompatible controls can cause flicker or poor operation. Send the exact product models before buying replacements for one part of a system.
Tell us whether you want one switch for the whole run, separate zones or a compatible smart control. For a failed installation, describe whether the whole run or one section is affected. Guardian can review the supply and controls rather than assuming every dark section needs new lighting.
In an open renovation, cable routes can be coordinated before cabinets and tile are finished. In an existing kitchen, we assess accessible routes and agree on what will be concealed or visible. A microwave, window or separated cabinet run can require additional connections, so total light length alone does not describe the job.
The quote identifies fixtures, drivers, controls, wiring and any openings or finish work. We also consider access to the driver for future service; concealing a power supply permanently behind cabinetry can make a later repair much harder. Project quotes are free; diagnostic/service-call charges are explained before booking.
Yes. Send photos and product information if safely available. The existing power arrangement and mounting need review; a new LED fixture may require a different driver or control.
Yes, share the complete model and instructions before scheduling. Guardian can review its connection, controls and suitability for the location before confirming the installation scope.
Not necessarily. Access depends on the wiring route, cabinetry and existing supply. Discuss acceptable visible routing and any finish repairs before work begins rather than assuming a completely concealed route is always available.
Its location must meet the selected product’s ventilation, mounting and accessibility instructions. We discuss a discreet, serviceable position instead of promising that every component can be sealed out of sight.
Guardian offers free quotes for planned projects. A fault-finding visit or service call can involve a diagnostic charge, explained before booking. Access, equipment requirements and the work identified determine the proposed repair or installation scope.
Share the property address, the problem or project you have in mind, and equipment details when available. Photos of accessible equipment and the work area can help us plan the next step. Do not remove electrical covers or expose wiring to take photographs.
