Why We Love Under Cabinet Lighting
Under counter lighting is a crucial component for designing a functional kitchen lighting scheme. Countertops are often sheltered from overhead lighting by cabinets or range hoods, and the low profile and sleek composition of under-shelf lighting make these fixtures uniquely suited to this area.
Why Choose LED Under Cabinet Lighting
We recommend LED lighting for its long lifespan and energy efficiency. And, because of the unique way in which LEDs produce their shine, they don’t emit any heat. This is perfect for the kitchen, which is often the warmest room in the house thanks to its high-traffic nature and appliances like ovens and stoves.
Under Cabinet Lighting FAQs
Q: How Many Lumens do I Need for Under Cabinet Lighting?
A: In kitchens, you’ll likely be performing delicate, precision tasks. For this reason, we recommend fixtures that produce somewhere between 200 and 400 lumens.
Q: What Color Light is Best for the Kitchen?
A: A kitchen needs both task lighting and ambient lighting. But, when you’re choosing kitchen cabinet lighting, you only need to worry about one thing: a bright task light. Warmer temperatures can make things appear dull, so we recommend a light that falls somewhere between 3,500K and 4,500K.
How to Choose the Best Under Cabinet Lights
The most traditional type of under cabinet lighting is the classic, recessed lighting style. This light is completely contained within the bottom of the cabinet and hidden when not in use. Under-cabinet puck lights are great for floating shelves because they offer wireless options that don’t interfere with an airy look. There are also LED rope light fixtures composed of a strip that can be run along the bottom lip of a cabinet. These lights have an easy installation process and create a seamless shine across the length of your cabinets.
Other Considerations
You should supplement these fixtures with pieces like pendants, island lighting, wall sconces, and ceiling fans to really have well-layered and functional lighting. You can also consider picture lights to highlight interesting additions like wine racks or minibars.
