Under-cabinet lighting
Also known as task lighting, is most commonly
installed underneath kitchen cabinets in order to eliminate shadows on
counter tops and cooking areas. It can also be used to brighten
work spaces on desks with overhead cabinets, or to highlight family
photos in bookshelves and dishes in china cabinets. In addition, it
creates a calming and decorative atmosphere in any room of the house.
Small and versatile, these lights can be used almost anywhere
additional lighting is desired.
When purchasing under cabinet
lights, consider both the type of bulbs you want and the type of
fixture that best suits your needs. There are many options available.
The four main types of bulbs are fluorescent, halogen, incandescent,
and xenon.
