Under Cabinet LED Lighting

Under cabinet lights mount directly above the work surface, which is what separates effective task lighting from general illumination. Overhead fixtures like recessed cans and pendants cast shadows from anyone standing at the counter, leaving prep zones partially dark. Under cabinet fixtures project light down from a short distance, delivering even, shadow-free illumination across the full depth of the countertop.

200 to 500 lumens per foot covers most kitchen installations. Stay near 200 lumens/foot for shallow countertops, light-colored surfaces, or installs where ambient overhead lighting is already strong. Move toward 500 lumens/foot for darker countertops (granite, soapstone, dark quartz), deeper work zones, or kitchens where under cabinet is the primary task light. For commercial prep areas, plan at the high end or layer two runs.

While many under cabinet lighting solutions are available on the market today, at aspectLED we're strong advocates for low voltage LED light bars. The low-voltage technology will help keep energy costs down. The low-profile design makes installation easy and nearly invisible. Being linear in nature, light bars also tend to create the most sought after, evenly distributed lighting experience. Order today and say goodbye to hotspots and dimly lit surfaces in your kitchen.
