More and more people are discovering the joys of under cabinet lighting. They provide great lighting without having to give up any counter space. They make a great addition or alternative to wall or ceiling lighting fixtures.
People are finding them to be very effective for lighting in kitchens and bathrooms, but they are easy on your budget and very simple to have installed. If you haven’t considered under cabinet lighting, here are a few reasons why you should.
6 Reasons to Have Under Cabinet Lighting Installed this Year
If you are having a remodel done or upgrading your lighting, under cabinet lighting will make a big difference to the entire room.
Energy Efficiency
One of the biggest advantages of under cabinet lighting is that they use less energy. Using LED lights, the bulbs needed are smaller than other lights and you are not lighting up the entire room.
You can use LED lights on a dimmer, so when the room is not in use, you can lower the lights to a minimum but still see enough to function and get around without needing to turn all the lights on.
Plenty of Bulb Choices
When you opt for under cabinet lighting, you have options available. Choose from halogen bulbs, xenon bulbs, LED bulbs to incandescent bulbs, and fluorescent bulbs.
You can also get white, off-white, or even colored bulbs, to make a statement or set the mood. There is plenty of flexibility when it comes to choosing bulbs for an under-cabinet lighting system.
Choices of Design
With these under cabinet lighting choices, you can have any type of style or design you like. They add a modern touch but you can use these lights anywhere in the home.
You can get them in workspaces, close to the floor, and in various sizes. That leaves you open to any number of design ideas that will only be enhanced with these smaller, useful lights.
Cut Shadows
Trying to read a recipe or food prep can be difficult when the overhead lights are casting large shadows across your countertop. You can have under cabinet lighting installed into the deepest corner of your counter space.
That gives you the perfect light to work with without the large shadows. It also gives you the opportunity to use more of your counter space, because you can see all of it.
They Look Great
Because these types of lights offer so much flexibility, you can achieve any look you want. They are great for entertaining, if you have snacks or a bar set up, perfect for working on the counter, and they simply look fantastic.
You can also use them to accent your new countertops, backsplash, or even artwork, like a special cookie jar or your teacup collection. The lower cabinet lights can also highlight your floor tiles.
Affordable and Easy to Install
Not only do these lights save money on your energy bill, but they are well within anyone’s budget. These lights will be installed quickly, so you won’t have to give up your entire kitchen or bathroom while they are put in.
With so many choices and wide availability, under cabinet lights are easily affordable. Get the light designs you want and stay well within your budget.
