Under cabinet lighting is a valuable upgrade to your kitchen.

This substantial addition adds both functionality and eye-appeal. Under cabinet lighting does not replace overhead lighting. It complements it by providing direct light on your workspace. No need to worry about adding too much salt and pepper on the filet. The direct illumination on food makes prepping a piece of cake!

There are many different options for under cabinet lighting. LED is the most energy efficient and yields very little heat. LED is usually a lower, warmer color. Xenon provides a brighter, whiter light. It is an older technology but is preferred to bring out the richness of marble and granite countertops. Fluorescent lighting is both cost-effective and energy efficient. A negative to fluorescence is the dull washed out color it throws.

It is wise to add a dimmer to your under cabinet lighting if possible. Fluorescent is usually not dimmable, while xenon and most LED fixtures are. The shape of the light also has pros and cons. Puck light generates a condensed beam whereas strip light covers a broader area.

Under cabinet lighting adds ambiance and purpose to your kitchen. It is also a great way to add flair to your backsplash. Let our specialist brighten up your kitchen. Contact us for a free consultation.
