Under Cabinet Lighting

Under cabinet lighting can be as simple as task lighting for a kitchen to illuminate food prep areas, or as an artistic statement that defines the décor of your home.

Under cabinet lighting provides bright light exactly where and when you need it. It can also double as evening lighting, allowing you to turn off bright overhead lights in favor of dimmer light from a discreet source. Under cabinet lighting comes in LED, fluorescent (inexpensive and cool, but not dimmable) and incandescent. LED is the most energy efficient of all the options.

Under cabinet lighting placement should be carefully planned by an electrician, ideally at the same time as new cabinets are installed. Under cabinet lighting can be installed into an existing completed kitchen, but will likely require some additional renovation type work, since you’ll potentially need to cut into the backsplash wall. An alternate installation option is plug-in.
