Having a dark and dreary kitchen can be fixed by quickly installing some under cabinet lighting. It’s surprisingly easy, depending on the type of light you decide to install. Let’s take a look at 5 great solutions for putting lights underneath kitchen cabinets.
1) Florescent – This is a popular method of lighting the under side of kitchen cabinetry, but light bulbs can burn out faster than other solutions, such as LED lights. 2) LED Wireless Puck – These are “hockey puck” shaped lights, hence the name, and since they are wireless, they run on batteries. 3) Wired Puck – These are similar to the puck lights from above, but they are plugged into nearby outlets. 4) LED Light Strips – This is a solution for under cabinet lighting that is very popular among users as well for kitchen cabinets. 5) Swivel LED Heads On A Mounting Bar – This type of LED light fixture is a widely used type as well. These are usually 4 or 5 light heads, with 3 to 5 led lights within each head, mounted on a bar that mounts to the wall.
Each individual head can swivel 360 degrees and at different angles as well. Many people like this solution because it creates some directional lighting. These are great for use under cabinets, on book shelves, trophy or trinket shelves, closets, and other spaces. These can be wired or wireless as well.
There are 5 simple solutions for installing lighting for your kitchen cabinets. Installation can be as simple as peel and stick, but you’ll need some batteries. Otherwise, wired lighting may be the right choice for you.
