Under Cabinet Lighting
This essential kitchen detail not only provides critical task light on work surfaces, but also enhances ambient lighting without straining the eyes. Combine bright tape light (500 lm/ft) with a dimmer to ensure the right light level for every time of day.
Front mounted
Positioning the light under the center of the cabinet delivers light to the work surface and to the backsplash. This is a balanced option that is ideal for deeper countertops. The channel can be embedded into the cabinet itself or surface mounted behind a small valance.

Positioning the light towards the center of the cabinet delivers light to the work surface and to the backsplash. It’s a balanced option that is ideal for deeper countertops. The channel can be embedded into the cabinet itself or surface mounted.

Rear mounted
Positioning the light at the wall emphasizes the backsplash. This is primarily a decorative effect, yet still delivers light to the work surfaces. The channel should be embedded into the cabinet itself, or even recessed further to create a small pocket between the backsplash and the cabinet.
