We've hand picked some the best looking and newest designs from the UK's greatest lighting brands. By providing focused and bright light, cabinet lighting makes it easier to perform tasks such as cooking, reading recipes, or displaying decorative items.

Benefits of Cabinet Lighting

Cabinet lighting offers numerous benefits that can significantly enhance both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your kitchen or bathroom. One of the primary advantages is improved task lighting. By providing focused illumination, cabinet lighting makes it easier to perform tasks such as cooking, reading recipes, or displaying decorative items. This type of lighting ensures that your workspaces are well-lit, reducing eye strain and making tasks more enjoyable.

Another key benefit is enhanced safety. Illuminating dark areas under cabinets can help prevent accidents and injuries, making your kitchen a safer place to work. Additionally, LED cabinet lighting is highly energy efficient, helping to reduce energy consumption and lower your electricity bills. This makes it an environmentally friendly choice as well.

From an aesthetic perspective, cabinet lighting can transform the look of a room, creating a modern and sleek appearance. It can be customized to fit your specific needs and preferences, whether you want a warm, inviting glow or a bright, crisp light. With so many options available, you can easily find the perfect cabinet lighting solution to complement your space.

Choosing the Right Lighting Solution

Choosing the right lighting solution for your cabinet lighting needs can be overwhelming, but by considering a few key factors, you can make an informed decision. First, determine the purpose of the lighting. Are you looking for task lighting to illuminate workspaces, ambient lighting to create a cozy atmosphere, or accent lighting to highlight specific features?

Next, consider the color temperature. Warm white light (2700K-3000K) is ideal for creating a relaxing, ambient environment, while cool white light (3500K-5000K) is better suited for task lighting, providing a bright and clear illumination. Think about the brightness level you need as well. Choose a lighting solution that offers the right amount of light for your specific tasks and preferences.

Energy efficiency is another important factor. LED lighting is known for its energy-efficient properties, helping to reduce energy consumption and lower your utility bills. Finally, look for durability. Choose a lighting solution that is designed to withstand the rigors of daily use, ensuring it will last for years to come.

Integrated Energy Efficient LED Lighting

Many of the under cabinet lights we offer contain integrated LEDs. The LED light source is built directly into the fitting which means it’s non replaceable. LED bulbs are known for their energy efficiency, long lifespan, and environmental advantages, making them a superior choice for under cabinet lighting. Fear not, because they last longer than fluorescent and replaceable LEDs are designed to last for around 25,000 hours which is over 20 years if used for 3 hours per day!

LED Strip Fit - Made-to-Measure Under Cabinet Lights

Our latest edition to this range is ‘LED Strip Fit’ which is a range of bespoke, made to measure LED tape that can be cut down to the exact lengths required. Ideal for mounting under kitchen cabinets. We also have colour changing versions known as RGB and a wide selection of accessories that includes triac dimmable LED drivers. These products provide you with more functionality, if you’re looking for dimmable kitchen lighting, LED strip tape is the one for you!

LED technology has transformed the way we illuminate everything including kitchen worktops. LED under cabinet lighting is an energy-efficient and eco-friendly option that reduces shadows and improves visibility, enhancing both functionality and safety in kitchen spaces. Before under cabinet LED lighting existed you only had two choices: fit a fluorescent striplight or install a halogen cabinet light. Now LED cabinet lights are available in a multitude of variations, with different styles, light outputs and colour temperatures. You can choose the right aesthetical style and lighting tone that will compliment your new or existing kitchen.

Basic Lighting Guidelines - Colour Temperature

Here at Downlights.co.uk we offer a wide range of premium quality lighting products from the UK’s leading brands. Here are some guidelines to follow, to help you choose the right under cabinet LED lighting products for you: Kitchen cabinet lighting enhances both functionality and aesthetic appeal, improving visibility for tasks such as cooking and cleaning while offering various styles and installation options.

  1. Colour temperature – Make sure that your under cabinet lights match the colour temperature of the rest of the lighting in your room. If you’ve got warm white 3000K spotlights or downlights, then your kitchen cabinet lights should match. Otherwise you’ll get a contrasting colour tone, it will stand out and won’t look right.

  2. If the lights are going to be visible and not concealed behind a pelmet or options of hardwired, you should consider buying a light that will complement the kitchens theme. If you’ve got stainless steel appliances, door handles, and downlights then consider stainless steel cabinet lights. Or if you’re installing LED strip tape, then why not put it inside an aluminium profile rail? It will add a more professional finish for just a little bit more cost. The lighting effect will become more diffused, providing a seamless and spotless array of light.

  3. Maybe you don’t want to be limited to just warm or cool white and you want a colour changing effect? RGB (red, green & blue) LED strip tape will provide a wide variety of colour effects. This is great for mood lighting and parties. But basic RGB strips don’t have a true white colour. When you need to illuminate your kitchen worktops to chop and cook, it won’t be effective.

We would recommend using RGBW or RGBWW LED strips. These combination strips have RGB colour changing LED chips and true cool white 4000K (RGBW) or warm white 3000K (RGBWW) LED chips. They provide you with the best of both worlds without having to compromise. Or better still, a brand new LED strip tape that is now in stock which contains RGB and CCT (correlated colour temperature) LED chip types. A 5 in 1 LED tape that allows you to change colours as well as colour temperature. Or you can mix them, to display a unique blend of colours, like mixing daylight 6500K with blue to give you a modern, clean skylight effect. 4. If you want the simplest of lighting solutions then take a look at our mains voltage under cabinet striplights. We have 3 brands to choose from which Aurora, Forum lighting and Ovia Lighting. These fittings are a low energy LED alternative to a fluorescent.

Mains Voltage Striplights

They’re easy to install and are available in warm white 3000K and cool white 4000K colour temperatures. Cupboard lights, including mains voltage striplights, offer functional and aesthetic benefits by illuminating tasks, enhancing safety, and adding ambiance to kitchen spaces. The Ovia Cubi undercabinet light comes with both colour temperatures in 1.

Fitted with a CCT switch you can easily select between 3000K and 4000K whenever you like. Also available in various lengths, additional striplights can be butted together or connected via a coupling cable. As they operate on mains voltage, you don’t have to worry about ordering an additional LED driver.

Although LED strip tape offers more flexibility and has more choices, it is more difficult to order. It comes in component form with a separate LED driver. The size of the LED driver is determined by the total wattage of the LED tape that you’re connecting to it. If you’ve got lots of kitchen cabinets that are different lengths, it can offer the ideal solution.

Installation and Safety Guidelines

Installing cabinet lighting can be a DIY-friendly project, but it’s essential to follow some basic safety guidelines to ensure a safe and successful installation. Always start by turning off the power to the circuit you’ll be working on. Use a voltage tester to double-check that the power is off before you begin.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully during installation. If you’re unsure about any aspect of the process, it’s best to consult a licensed electrician. This will ensure that your cabinet lighting is installed correctly and safely. Make sure the lighting solution is securely fastened to the cabinet to prevent it from falling or becoming loose over time.

By following these guidelines, you can enjoy the benefits of cabinet lighting without compromising on safety.

Energy Efficient Dimmable Lighting

Dimmable under cabinet lighting is becoming increasingly popular. LED under cabinet lighting offers the flexibility of dimmable options, enhancing both functionality and ambiance in kitchen spaces. If you want to be able to dim your lights, you need to decide straight away. LED tape can be dimmed by choosing a dimmable driver, you’ll also need an LED compatible dimmer switch such as the Varilight V-Pro. Mains voltage under cabinet strip lights aren’t dimmable but we do offer some low voltage surface, recessed and triangle style under cabinet lights that are dimmable with the correct LED driver.

For further information, we also have a kitchen lighting ideas and LED tape guide.

Energy Efficiency and Environmental Impact

Cabinet lighting can have a significant impact on energy consumption and the environment. LED lighting, in particular, is highly energy efficient, capable of reducing energy consumption by up to 90% compared to traditional lighting options. This not only helps lower your electricity bills but also contributes to a more sustainable future.

LED lighting is also known for its longevity, with a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours or more. This means fewer replacements and less waste, further reducing your environmental footprint. Additionally, LED lighting is free of toxic chemicals such as mercury and lead, making it a safer choice for your home and the environment.
