It is the piece that turns a row of uppers into a finished elevation — and the piece that hides under-cabinet lighting, which is where the name comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithout it, the bottom edge of a wall cabinet shows its construction: the plywood bottom, the fixed light strip, the wiring clipped to the back. Light rail drops below that line and shields all of it from anyone standing in the kitchen. Lighting washes down the backsplash instead of glaring straight out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike every stained piece in the line, \u003cstrong\u003egrain and figure vary naturally from piece to piece\u003c\/strong\u003e. Run the light rail across a wall in one continuous piece where the length allows, so any variation reads as one board rather than as a mismatch at a joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere light rail goes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlong the full underside front edge of a wall cabinet run, and around the returns at the end of a run where the cabinet bottom would otherwise be visible from the side. One face is finished; the unfinished face sits up against the cabinet bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a fully finished underside — visible on a peninsula, or anywhere people look up at the cabinets — pair it with 1\/4\" plywood panels cut to the cabinet bottom. The light rail frames that panel and the whole underside reads as cabinetry rather than as a gap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e sold as 96\"; \u003cstrong\u003ecut to 94\" for shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coffee Bean stain under a factory-baked UV-cured lacquer, one face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReverse face:\u003c\/strong\u003e unfinished — it seats against the cabinet bottom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePairs with:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4\" plywood panels for a fully finished cabinet underside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need light rail if I am not installing under-cabinet lighting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost people still fit it. The lighting is only half the job — the other half is closing the open bottom edge of the cabinet, which shows plywood and hardware from anywhere lower than the cabinet itself. If you sit at a counter or an island facing the uppers, that edge is in your sightline the whole time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much do I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure the full front length of each wall cabinet run and add the depth of any end that returns into the room, then round up to the next 94\" piece. Order one extra piece on any kitchen with more than two separate runs — every joint and mitre costs you a few inches, and offcuts rarely land where the next run needs them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat length do I actually receive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e94\". The piece is listed at 96\" but is cut to 94\" for shipping, so plan every run on 94\" and not on the listed length. On a wall longer than that you will have a joint — place it over a cabinet stile where the seam falls on a natural break rather than in the middle of an open span.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContractor Grade A, RTA (ready to assemble).
