Buying Under Cabinet Lighting
Whether in a kitchen, laundry room or work space, quality under cabinet lighting presents a clever way to illuminate your countertop. To find the right lights for you, consider the following factors:
- Power source. Is the light 120-volt, low-voltage or battery powered? If it’s 120-volt, is it direct wired or plug-in?
- Type of light. There are many options on the market, including LED strips, LED bulbs, incandescent bulbs and fluorescent or halogen bulbs. LEDs are the most energy efficient.
- Modular installation. Some 120-volt and low-voltage under cabinet lights can be connected or daisy-chained together, making installation easier and requiring less outlet access.
- Purpose of lighting. If you’re lighting a work space, choose stronger, more direct lights positioned where your head or hands can’t cast shadows on your work area. If it’s an eating or accent area, then color and temperature of the light is more important than the positioning.
- Convenience. Some lights come with a remote control or motion sensor. Some are dimmable or offer a range of color display options.
