The kitchen is a highly-utilized space in our family, but sometimes even with the lights on, we still can’t see whether the dishes are clean, why? For most families, the main light is installed in the kitchen for lighting, and this light has the highest probability of being installed on the ceiling. Although the range of lighting is maximized, the light reaching the corners is very insufficient. Especially when people are standing in the kitchen cooking and washing some things, the backlight situation often occurs. You may need to install some cabinet lights.

Why do you need to install cabinet lights?

 

The installation of cabinet lights is extremely important, which can not only make up for the lack of light, reduce the chance of injury, but also make it more convenient for us to find things or cook in the kitchen. If installed properly, it will make our kitchen more beautiful. Many people have the habit of drinking water at night. Installing cabinet lights under the kitchen wall cabinets, coupled with an induction switch, can facilitate our lives immensely and avoid bumping and falling in the kitchen.

 

A kitchen is a place with very heavy oily smoke, and it is also the room with the most sanitary corners in the home. Many corners cannot be cleaned comprehensively due to insufficient light. But after installing the cabinet lights, any blind corners can be seen, and it is convenient and quick to clean.

 

Which lights do I need in the kitchen?

 

?Main light

 

If it is an integrated ceiling or an aluminum gusset ceiling, you can choose an embedded flat light to make the space look more integrated and beautiful; if it is a gypsum board or latex paint ceiling, you can choose an embedded downlight or those that contain cover body absorb dome light. The number of ceiling lights can be determined according to the area of the kitchen.

 

?Auxiliary light

 

  • Vegetable washing area: Except for the sink and stove, all other countertops are free, which can also be used as a preparation area. When picking vegetables in the preparation area, to see the vegetables more clearly, cabinet lights seem very necessary.

 

  • Washing area: For the same reason as above, I believe that many people are unwilling to wash vegetables in a dark environment. At the same time, they can wash vegetables more cleanly and eat more at ease. Therefore, it is inevitable to install lights in the washing area.

 

  • Cooking area: Generally, the top of the cooker hood is equipped with a range hood, and the general range hood comes with a lamp, so there is no need to install a separate lamp.

 

?Cabinet Light

 

Under normal circumstances, if the bottom of the cabinet is an operating table or a kitchen sink, it is necessary to install cabinet lights to be safer and healthier. Because the cabinet itself blocks the light, installing lights at the bottom of the cabinet can solve the problem of low light.
