Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main types of under cabinet lights?

The main types of under cabinet lights are strip lights, puck lights, and light bars. Strip lights are flexible and provide a continuous, even glow. Puck lights are small and circular, offering focused, spotlight-like illumination. Light bars are rigid fixtures that provide uniform light in a compact form.

What light source is best for under cabinet lighting?

LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are widely considered the best under cabinet lighting source. While older alternatives like fluorescent and halogen were once common, LEDs are far more energy-efficient, last for tens of thousands of hours, and produce very little heat, making them a safer and more cost-effective choice for your under cabinet LED lighting.

What's the difference between hardwired, plug-in, and battery-powered under cabinet lighting?

Hardwired under cabinet lighting is a permanent solution installed directly into your home's electrical wiring, providing a seamless look with no visible cords. Plug-in under cabinet lighting is a convenient, non-permanent option that plugs into a standard outlet. Battery-powered under cabinet lighting offers ultimate portability and ease of installation, perfect for areas without nearby outlets.

What color temperature should I choose for my kitchen?

The ideal color temperature for your under cabinet light depends on your desired ambiance. A warmer white (2700K-3000K) creates a cozy, inviting feel, while a neutral or natural white (3500K-4000K) is a versatile choice for both task lighting and everyday use. A cooler white (5000K+) offers a crisp, modern look ideal for detailed tasks.

What is the benefit of low voltage under cabinet lighting?

Low voltage under cabinet lighting is a very safe option, as it operates at 12V or 24V using a power supply, reducing the risk of electrical shock. The thinner wiring is also easier to conceal, making it a popular choice for sleek, discreet installations in a variety of applications.
