Under Cabinet Lighting Ideas
Great light across your worktopUnder-cabinet lights for the kitchen are a popular lighting solution for illuminating worktops and surfaces. With their flat design, they can be discreetly installed under kitchen cabinets. Battery-operated under cabinet lamps are very convenient as they don't require any extra cable laying. Products with a switch allow for convenient switching on and off as required, while products with a motion sensor even do this automatically. Under cabinet lights with sockets make kitchen work easier by providing an additional connection option. In all cases, LED-powered kitchen lights are worthwhile, as they are extremely resilient and practical thanks to their energy efficiency, switching stability and, last but not least, their homogeneous light.

Pendant lights for the kitchen
Combined elegance and focused lightThe pendant kitchen lamp is often the centrepiece of the entire room. If you position the light 60-80 cm above the kitchen counter, it seamlessly illuminates both the work area and your culinary creations. Most kitchen pendant lights emit a focused beam of light downwards. To ensure that it illuminates the kitchen island perfectly, many kitchen pendant lights are height-adjustable and can therefore be tailored to the individual kitchen, not only in terms of style but also in terms of the exact suspension height.

Wall lights are often used to provide additional light, either for general lighting in the room or for specific areas, depending on the design and light distribution.

A customised kitchen, especially when combined with a dining room and other living areas, requires special lighting solutions. In this case, it is worth considering track lighting because they allow you to plan multiple ‘around the corner’ connections. Different areas of the room can be individually illuminated with just one power connection. Various types of lights can also be installed within the track system, e.g. spotlights, pendant lights or LED panels. The system thus achieves complete, balanced lighting. Track lighting systems are not only purely functional, but also enhance stylish interiors.

Smart home lighting has long since conquered the modern kitchen. Smart lamps offer numerous possibilities for customising the lighting ambience, for automation and for convenient control via smartphone, remote control or voice. Retrofitting smart lighting usually does not require electrical installation efforts. Instead, you can start by simply replacing the light bulb. Smart home technology turns cooking and dining into a convenient, connected experience.
