Good to know before you buy

Plan the lights with the cabinets
Under-cabinet profiles need a cable point and space for a driver. Share the kitchen drawing with us before the carpenter starts, so the channels and access are built in.
-
Fix lights near the front edge
A profile near the front of the upper cabinets lights the whole counter. Fixed at the back, it lights only the wall.

Use neutral white
4000K shows food colours accurately and keeps the kitchen feeling fresh. Warm light suits a dining area next to it.
-
Light the inside of cabinets
A slim profile inside tall units or glass cabinets helps find things and adds a soft glow in the evening.
Common mistakes to avoid
Only a central ceiling lightYou stand with your back to it, so the counter is always in shadow. Add under-cabinet light.
Strips without a profileGrease and steam settle on bare strips. A profile with a diffuser is easier to wipe clean.
Warm light over the counter2700K makes it harder to judge food colour. Use 4000K where you prepare food.
No plan for the driverUnder-cabinet drivers need a reachable spot inside a cabinet, planned before the carpentry is finished.
