The Benefits of Under Cabinet Lighting
Working in an underlit kitchen is frustrating. The simple tasks of food preparation – chopping, cooking, and plating – become an inconvenient annoyance. The solution? Undercabinet lighting. The best kitchen lighting includes overhead lighting in combination with surface-directed lighting that is easily mounted on the undersides of cabinets. The types of under cabinet lighting range from LED strip lighting to puck lights to linkable light bars.

LED under-cabinet fixture units are the most popular and easy to install. There are options that can be hardwired, plugged-in, or linked together using connectors or linking cables, so that your entire lighting system can be operated on the same switch or dimmer. They work well if you have cabinets with an edge to hide the light fixture from view. They come in many lengths, and usually a finish option. You can truly customize your lighting experience with two switches on the box unit itself. You will be able to change the color temperature at will and set the high/low lumen output level that you prefer. The uniform reflectance is excellent when used under cabinet over granite, polished stone or any reflective surface.
Puck Lights are the most versatile product as they can be installed anywhere. Most pucks can either be installed as a surface mount or recessed into cabinetry so they are flush to the surface. Our puck lighting products offer smooth and uniform light output.
LED tape, or strip, light is a flexible roll of LEDs with an adhesive back. Tape light is a great option for a uniform and higher-end lighting style and application. Many have lumen output, LED temperature and various mounting channel and diffuser options available from which to choose. Since they are super low profile, they can be installed virtually anywhere, even under stairs or countertops. Also works great for inside cabinets, under the lip of counters, and toe-kick spaces. Bring in your cabinet or project layout and dimensions and we can work up a plan and estimate for this extremely versatile product.
