Under cupboard kitchen lights are a practical choice for your kitchen. They are great for task lighting, such as filling gaps and shadows to illuminate work surfaces or even highlighting the colours in your fruit bowl. These fittings add style due to the light fittings design for minimal intrusion. This allows these light fittings to fit in those hard to fit places, please see below a range of solutions.

The installation process is dependent on what product you are installing under your kitchen cabinets as well how the light fitting will be powered, both these processes can vary depending on the chosen product. Careful planning ahead is also required if you want to hide the wires.
We recommend the under cabinet kitchen lighting is installed by a trained electrician to ensure the fitting is installed safely and correctly.
The most popular under cabinet lighting is LED lighting. There are several reasons for this, such as LED technology is fantastic at producing a large amount of light whilst using a small amount of power. LED light fittings also produce very little heat, which is ideal in the kitchen environment. Lastly, they are a great long term saving option over traditional lighting options such as fluorescent tubes.
LED Strip lights are simple to install under cabinet kitchen lighting options, due to their flat design taking up little space.
Under-cabinet lights are best to install in the front rather than the back of the unit. It's important to double-check the direction during installation, due to light from the fitting being distributed unevenly across your kitchen if the under-cabinet light is fitted backwards. This can result in unwanted dark spots and shadows. Avoid this by simply installing your lighting in the front to get the stylish task lighting you desire for your kitchen.
