Question:

Replace fluorescent lights with rope lights?

I have fluorescent lights underneath my cabinets in the kitchen. Is it possible to replace them with rope lights that can connect to a light switch?

Answer:

Is electricity reaching the fixture? There are various ways to test for this, but make sure you understand how to avoid shocking yourself.
Yes, it's possible, BUT... IF the light wiring is connected directly INTO a light switch, that project needs to be done either by an Electrician, OR someone who really KNOWS WHAT he/she is doing!!!!! Another remote possibility is, IF you have a receptacle that is CONTROLLED BY a light switch, then plug the light string into that outlet. Another less expensive option is to simply plug and unplug the light string as needed.
