Bright Kitchen Lighting that Works

This client opted for 6, 6 inch LED puck lights and an additional 4 inch LED over the sink. Complete with 3 bright under-cabinet lights.

Why LED Works in Kitchens

LEDs are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and versatile:

• Save energy, better than traditional bulbs

• Last years longer, reducing replacements

• Match your style with fixtures that suit modern, classic, or farmhouse kitchens

  
  

Using LED Lights Wisely

The key is layering light for both function and style:

• Under-cabinet LEDs: Bright prep lighting without shadows

• Pendant LEDs: Focused task lighting and style over islands

• Accent LEDs: Highlight cabinets or shelves for warmth

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Choosing the Right LEDs

• Color temperature: 3000K–4000K for natural brightness

• Brightness: 300–500 lumens per foot for work areas

• Dimmable options: Switch from prep light to cozy ambiance
