177 Under Cabinet Lighting

Lighting in the kitchen is important for preparing meals; no one wants a murky kitchen when trying to peel potatoes or cut meat, it can not only lead to accidents but also poorly prepared food. One way of really brighting up your kitchen workspace is to buy under cabinet lighting. This is a subtle way of adding more light because the bottom of cabinets will usually be below eye level so the glare of bulbs will not be direct, yet the worktops below will be well lit. You can even add under cabinet lighting to your floor-level cabinets to give a warm glow to your kitchen in an understated manner, or to make a bold statement with a flash of coloured light. More

It's also important to have good lighting in the bathroom as you may need light for applying makeup, trimming nails, shaving beards, plucking, priming and pampering. If you have or plan on having a bathroom cabinet then you should definitely consider under cabinet lighting to make your sink area better lit. Again, you can either choose to go for some subtle downlights or perhaps a colourful LED light.

Downlights are the classic option for under cabinet lighting, but you can now find LED strip lights that are easy to install in one go and should last for a long time. They also have the advantage of coming in a range of colours and styles which would be more limited with downlights. Before you choose an under cabinet lighting product, you should check with an electrician and the manufacturer of your cabinets to ensure your lighting will be compatible with your cabinets. You may also want the help of a professional when installing your lighting as it may be more complicated than it looks.
