What happens here
Move to the outdoor kitchen area. Mark the locations for the accent lights at the base of the kitchen's vertical elements. Use a cordless drill with an appropriate drill bit (e.g., masonry bit for stone veneer or wood bit for wood panels) to create pilot holes for mounting the accent light fixtures. Secure each accent light using screws or other mounting hardware. Once mounted, run the low-voltage wire to each light, stripping the ends and using waterproof connectors to establish a secure connection. The goal is for these lights to shine upwards, casting light on the kitchen's structure, as shown in the video.
Goal: Mount and wire accent lights to illuminate the outdoor kitchen's vertical surfaces.
