Assuming your under counter lighting is 120v and is fed from a box installed in the cabinet, you need a competent electrician to run a switch loop to a switch in the wall. He/she may need to make holes in your wall you may not want. There is no magic to getting wires in the wall.
The wires can be run exposed if the proper materials are used. This would prevent any undesired holes in your wall.

How do you connect an ON-OFF switch to control the light?
To control a light with a switch, the switch has to be connected in series with the light fixture.
How do you hook up one light to one switch in a basement lighting system that has all 10 lights connected to one switch?
If you have good access to the wiring this is relatively easy to do. Each of the 10 lights is connected to another in parallel in a "daisy chain" fashion. Light 1 is connected to the switch, light 2 is connected to light 1, light 3 is connected to light 2 and so forth. Let's say it is light 5 that you wish to switch separately. You can first install the new switch by either adding a new box or modifying old switch box. There are two gang switches that will fit the form factor of a single switch. TURN OFF THE POWER TO SWITCH BOX. Using the same supply input at original switch, add a new black wire to the wire nut for input to original switch and connect this to the input of new switch. Then run a new wire to light 5 and connect black wire to the output of new switch. Connect all the white wires together in switch box and separately connect all bare wires together in switch box. Now at light 5 undo the black and white wire coming from the fixture, and reconnect the wire nuts so that there is a direct connection between light 4 and light 6. Do the same for the ground if present (bare wire). You now have the fixture wires hanging free. Now connect the black wire from new switch to the fixture black wire and white to white and you are done.
How many terminal does an intermediate way lighting switch have?
An intermediate or 4 way light switch has 4 terminals + 1 ground terminal.
What is the distance from the floor for a bedside light switch?
in the USA if following the NEC there is no specific requirement for wall switch heights for general lighting There may be requirements for machinery
How do you wire a 4way switch?
Connect all white wires together under a wire nut and push them back into the box. Connect all ground wires together and then connect them with a jumper wire to the ground screw on the switch. Connect black power in and power out, if applicable, wires to the bottom screw on the switch. Connect the remaining black wire going to the light to the top screw on the switch.
How to wire a 3-way switch diagram for a lighting circuit?
To wire a 3-way switch diagram for a lighting circuit, you will need to connect the power source to the common terminal of the first switch, then connect the travelers to the other terminals of the first switch. Next, connect the travelers from the first switch to the corresponding terminals on the second switch. Finally, connect the light fixture to the common terminal of the second switch.
How do you properly wire a two-way switch for a lighting circuit?
To properly wire a two-way switch for a lighting circuit, you need to connect the power source to the common terminal of one switch, then connect the light fixture to the common terminal of the other switch. The travelers from each switch should be connected to each other. This setup allows you to control the light from either switch.
How to wire a 3-way switch for a lighting circuit?
To wire a 3-way switch for a lighting circuit, you will need to connect the power source to the common terminal of one switch, then connect the light fixture to the common terminal of the other switch. The two traveler terminals on each switch should be connected to each other. This setup allows you to control the light from two different switches.
How to wire up a switch for a home lighting system?
To wire up a switch for a home lighting system, first turn off the power to the circuit. Connect the black wire from the power source to one terminal of the switch, and connect the black wire from the light fixture to the other terminal. Connect the white wires together and the ground wires together. Secure the switch in place and turn the power back on to test the connection.
How does a 2 wire dimmer switch function in a lighting system?
A 2 wire dimmer switch works by controlling the amount of electricity flowing to the light fixture. It has two wires that connect to the power source and the light, allowing you to adjust the brightness of the light by turning the switch.
Can you provide me with four way switch wiring diagrams for a complex lighting setup?
Here are four-way switch wiring diagrams for a complex lighting setup: Connect the power source to the first switch, then run a 3-wire cable to the second switch. Connect the second switch to the third switch using another 3-wire cable. Finally, connect the third switch to the light fixture using a 2-wire cable. Repeat this process for additional switches in the setup.
Can you provide a three way switch wiring diagram for installing a new lighting system in a room?
A three-way switch wiring diagram is a diagram that shows how to connect two switches to control a single light fixture from different locations. This setup allows you to turn the light on or off from either switch. To install a new lighting system in a room using a three-way switch setup, you will need to connect the switches and the light fixture using specific wiring configurations. It is important to follow the diagram carefully to ensure proper installation and functionality of the lighting system.
How do 3 way switches work in a lighting circuit?
Three-way switches work in a lighting circuit by allowing you to control a single light fixture from two different locations. The switches are connected in a way that allows you to turn the light on or off from either switch, regardless of the position of the other switch. This is achieved by using a traveler wire to connect the two switches and a common wire to connect the light fixture.
How do you connect an ON-OFF switch to control the light?
To control a light with a switch, the switch has to be connected in series with the light fixture.
How can I wire a 3-way switch with a 2 lights diagram to control the lighting in a room effectively?
To wire a 3-way switch with 2 lights to effectively control the lighting in a room, you will need to connect the switches and lights in a specific way. The power source should connect to the common terminal of the first switch, with the travelers connecting the two switches. The first light should be connected to the first switch, and the second light should be connected to the second switch. This setup allows you to control both lights independently with the two switches.
How do you wire a switch to a light?
To wire a switch to a light, you connect the hot wire from the power source to one terminal on the switch, then connect another wire from the other terminal of the switch to the hot terminal on the light fixture. Finally, connect the neutral wires from the power source and the light fixture together.
What is the switch loop wiring diagram for a lighting circuit?
A switch loop wiring diagram for a lighting circuit involves connecting a switch to the power source and the light fixture in a loop configuration. The switch controls the flow of electricity to the light fixture.
