Recessed lights, also known as can lights, are installed into the ceiling and provide overall lighting for the kitchen. They are versatile, as their direction can be adjusted to highlight specific areas or objects in the kitchen, such as countertops or a kitchen island. They are also great for creating a layered lighting effect, which adds depth and dimension to the space.
Under cabinet lights are installed underneath the upper cabinets and provide task lighting for countertop activities such as food preparation and cooking. They can be either LED strip lights or puck lights. LED strip lights are thin and flexible and provide an even spread of light. Puck lights are small circular lights that can be spaced out for a more focused lighting effect.
Accent lights are used to highlight specific features or objects in the kitchen. These can include glass cabinets, artwork, or architectural details. They can also be used to create a focal point in the kitchen, such as lighting up a kitchen backsplash or a breakfast bar.
