Types of Under-Cabinet Lighting
With under-cabinet lighting, you can choose from:
- Fluorescent strips – These are what you think of in older homes built in the 1980s and 1990s. You probably imagine waiting for them to warm up and flicker to life, but that’s not how modern day fluorescent lights are. Modern fluorescent strips don’t flicker, don’t have a delay when you turn them on, and have a much improved color.
- Puck lights – Puck lights are hockey-puck-shaped lights that sometimes don’t even need to be wired in. They are a great option for more ornamental task lighting and for rental kitchens—but keep in mind these aren’t the most durable option.
- LED rope – Last but not least is an LED rope or strip light. They look a lot like florescent lights, but the LED lights last a much longer time.
No matter what your preference is, you’re sure to find the perfect fit for whatever cabinet you want to be illuminated. These bulbs will be out of sight when installed properly while still providing you with the brightness you prefer.

Benefits of Under-Cabinet Lighting
There are many advantages of installing task lighting in your home, including:
- Save energy – One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to reduce energy usage in your home is to have a professional electrician install under-cabinet lighting. This eliminates the need for lighting the entire room, and provides you with a stylish way to utilize the light in your kitchen. You can say good-bye to your large and unattractive overhead light when you choose this type of lighting.
- Minimize shadows – Under-cabinet lighting reduces shadows that are created by wall cabinets and overhead lighting, providing you with a clearer view of the contents in or under cabinets. When your cabinet lighting is properly spaced, it will completely eliminate all those dark shadows. It is recommended that you install a light every 20-30 inches over your counter space to ensure there aren’t any shadows left.
- Increase curb appeal – Installing under-cabinet lighting provides you with a sophisticated approach to illuminating a room. Not only will it make it easier for you to see while you cook, but it will make your countertops appear shinier than a normal overhead light. This will add to the value of your kitchen while increasing your curb appeal.
