Undercabinet Lighting
UNDERCABINET LIGHTING can provide the brightest task lighting on countertops, as it's situated directly over and fairly close to the work surface. Halogen puck lights or thin tubes, flexible rope lights, and pencil-thin fluorescent tubes with or without lenses are popular choicesfor undercabinet fixtures. Some fixtures allow for the first unit to be hardwired while adjacent fixtures plug one into the next. Maintaining a low profile is important, and a valence added to or designed into cabinets will help hide fixtures. Keeping the fixture close to the front of the cabinet helpsconceal the fixture and will cause less glare on the countertop.
HIDDEN LIGHT SOURCES ARE THE KEY IN THIS KITCHEN, The ceiling grid adds texture and a place to tuck panels of tiny lights, while undercabinet and over-sink lighting is concealed by cabinets and valences.
LIGHTING IS BOTH SUBTLEAND SHOWY in this high-ceilinged kitchen. A two-light pendant brings light to the island countertop. Range-hood lights illuminate both cooking tasks and a decorative tile backsplash, Adjustable recessed halogen downlights highlight the bay-window wall.
