Molding & Trim
Light Rail Molding
A small, profiled trim piece attached to the bottom edge of wall cabinets, concealing under-cabinet lighting fixtures and creating a clean, finished look. Light rail molding softens the hard edge of the cabinet bottom and prevents direct glare from task lighting. It is typically ¾ inch to 1½ inches tall and matches the cabinet door finish.

In practice
Light rail finishes the bottom edge of wall cabinets and shields under-cabinet lights from view at eye level — order it whenever you plan under-cabinet lighting.
Common questions
Is light rail molding necessary?
It is optional without lighting, but with under-cabinet lights it hides the fixtures and cuts direct glare from the bulbs or LED strip.
