Under cabinet lighting is a versatile and often overlooked aspect of home lighting. For any part of the home that has countertops or similar surfaces and an overhang directly above such as cabinets or shelving, under cabinet lighting is an effective way to bring additional light to the immediate area. Most often seen in kitchens, under cabinet lighting can be used in a variety of locations such as garages or in hallways — essentially, if there is a surface that requires a full glow, under cabinet lighting is an ideal solution.
Countertops are often sheltered from overhead lighting by cabinets or range hoods, and the low profile and sleek composition of under cabinet lighting make these fixtures uniquely suited to this area. 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.
Types of Under Cabinet Lighting
There are many types of under cabinet lighting and a few ways to install them too, depending on the needs and preferences of the home. 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 the cabinets.
Hardwired vs. Plug-in Under Cabinet Lighting
Installation can also vary between hardwired and plug-in. Hardwired under cabinet lighting is always powered, allowing for a simple switch to turn them on. Plug-in under cabinet lighting needs to be plugged in to a socket to be used, but this also means they can be unplugged when not in use, saving energy costs or allowing other devices to be plugged in instead.
