Types of Undercabinet Lighting
Tips to Choose Undercabinet Lighting
- Lighting Type: Undercabinet lighting comes in various types, including LED strips, puck lights, tape lights, and linear fixtures. Each type offers unique advantages in terms of brightness, energy efficiency, and design flexibility. Consider the specific lighting requirements of your space to determine the most suitable type for your undercabinet installation.
- Color Temperature: The color temperature of your undercabinet lighting can significantly impact the ambiance of your space. Opt for a warm color temperature (around 2700-3000K) to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, or choose a cooler temperature (4000-5000K) for bright task lighting in work areas.
- Dimming Options: Dimmable undercabinet lighting gives you control over the brightness levels in your kitchen or living area. This feature allows you to adjust the lighting intensity based on the time of day, your activities, or your desired ambiance.
- Installation Considerations: Depending on your skill level and preferences, choose between hardwired or plug-in undercabinet lighting options. Hardwired fixtures offer a seamless and permanent lighting solution, while plug-in options provide flexibility for relocation and easy installation.
