Lighting Recommendations



4" Cans

While 4" cans are commonly used in kitchens, they may not provide sufficient illumination for a kitchen that size. Consider using 6" or even 8" cans for better coverage.

LED Recessed Cans

LED recessed cans are highly energy-efficient and long-lasting. They produce bright, uniform light and are a great choice for modern kitchens.

Invisiled Tape

Invisiled tape is an excellent option for under-cabinet lighting. It provides a sleek, hidden light source that illuminates the work surfaces effectively.

Under-Cabinet Lighting Considerations



Plug-Mold

Plug-mold under cabinets allows you to plug appliances and electronics directly into the cabinets, eliminating the need for visible cords. It also provides a convenient way to adjust and reconfigure the lighting layout.

Pros of Plug-Mold

Convenience and flexibility No visible cords Easy to install and reconfigure

Cons of Plug-Mold

May require additional electrical work Limited to the length of the plug-mold Potential for cords to become entangled

Other Lighting Suggestions



Pendant Lighting

Install statement pendants over the kitchen island or dining table for accent lighting and a decorative touch.

Wall Sconces

Wall sconces can provide additional task lighting near windows, sinks, and other work areas.

Natural Light

Maximize natural light by installing large windows or skylights. This not only provides illumination but also creates a more inviting atmosphere.

Additional Tips: Use a combination of lighting types to create a layered lighting scheme that provides both ambient and task lighting. Consider using dimmable switches to adjust the light intensity according to the time of day or activity. Pay attention to color temperature when selecting LED bulbs. Opt for bulbs with a neutral or warm white temperature for a comfortable and inviting ambiance. Flag for review
