Collection: LED Puck Lights

A puck light is a small, round, disc-shaped light fixture named for its resemblance to a hockey puck, used to provide focused accent or task lighting in specific areas. Common applications include under cabinet lighting, glass-front display cases, wine cabinets, shelving, and artwork spotlighting.

Surface mount puck lights attach directly to the underside of a cabinet or shelf with screws or adhesive, making them easy to install without any cutting. Recessed puck lights are installed into a drilled hole so they sit flush with the surface, offering a cleaner, more integrated appearance.

LED puck lights deliver concentrated, circular pools of light ideal for spotlighting specific objects or zones, while LED strip lights produce a continuous line of diffused light better suited for even ambient or cove illumination. Puck lights are the preferred choice when focused, directional light is needed rather than broad coverage.

Yes — puck lights are one of the most popular choices for under counter lighting because their compact size allows precise placement directly above the work area. Both plug-in and low voltage puck lights work well in this application, with low voltage systems offering the cleanest look when wired through cabinetry.

For most under cabinet applications, spacing puck lights 8–12 inches apart provides relatively even coverage without hot spots between fixtures. Closer spacing (6–8 inches) is recommended for display cases or shelving where uniform illumination of objects is critical.

Low voltage puck lights (12V or 24V) require a remote driver or transformer and are typically hardwired for a permanent, cord-free installation. Plug-in puck lights operate at 120V and connect directly to a standard outlet, making them easier to install without an electrician.

Many LED puck lights are dimmable, but compatibility depends on both the fixture and the dimmer switch — low voltage systems require a compatible low voltage dimmer, while plug-in models need a dimmer rated for LED loads. Always check the product specifications to confirm dimming compatibility before purchasing.

Yes — puck lights are an excellent choice for illuminating display cases, china cabinets, and glass-front cabinetry because their small footprint allows discreet placement at the top of each shelf or cabinet section. Low voltage puck lights are particularly well-suited for this application due to their low heat output and clean wiring options.

LED puck lights generate very little heat compared to older halogen puck lights, making them safe for use inside enclosed cabinets and display cases. This is one of the key advantages of LED technology — lower heat output extends fixture life and protects stored items.

LED puck lights are available in a range of color temperatures, typically from 2700K (warm white) to 5000K (daylight), allowing you to match the light quality to your space and application. Warm white (2700K–3000K) is most popular for kitchens and living spaces, while cooler temperatures suit task-focused or retail display environments.
