Under Counter lights

"General"? Do you mean general contractor?

Although I know, and have worked with, some knowledgeable GCs in the past, I don't take electrical advice from them - I give it to them. Especially "advice" like this.
What kind of "lamp cord" are we talking about?
 
I'm curious as to why so many people call these under counter lights and not under cabinet lights? Don't they go above the counter and under the cabinet?

While looking for an image to use above, I stumbled upon this one:

What's neat about it is that the schematic is an actual crystal-radio circuit.

No They go under the counter....with no switch....so they just open the cabinet door to turn on the light, then shut it, and the light goes out...just like the frig
 
You cant run lamp wire in a wall........ does the colonel ugh I mean the Gereral have his electrical license? and why are you listening to him? If the luminare is line voltage how are you planning to ground it? If it is low voltage you still need to put it in some kind of conduit unless the insulation is rated to be in a wall by itself....
