Why choose cabinet lighting?
Cabinet lighting is handy for lighting your cupboards, especially when there is not enough light to see the contents properly. For example, the main kitchen light may not reach inside the cupboard, or the position of a drawer may make it difficult to see what is inside. A little extra light can also make it easier to find what you need. Our cabinet lighting is particularly useful in kitchen and wardrobe cupboards.
Sets or individual parts?
To install cabinet lighting, you need several components, including LED spotlights and a driver, with the option of adding a dimmer or sensor. If you need several spotlights, we recommend choosing a set. This is cheaper than buying the components separately, and everything you need is included in one set. If you only need to replace a single spotlight or add to an existing setup, take a look at our individual parts.
The different models
There are four different LED spotlight designs to choose from: square (Alina), rectangular (Apollo), elongated (Lex) and round (Kaya). Each model is also available with a sensor. Thanks to their slim profile, these spotlights can be fitted underneath kitchen cupboards without standing out. They have a warm white colour temperature of 3000K, providing a balance of practical lighting and a warm atmosphere.
Automatic on and off
There are several ways to operate the lighting. With a door sensor, the lights switch on when you open the cupboard door and switch off again when you close it. A motion sensor switches the lights on automatically when you move your hand underneath the sensor. This is particularly useful when your hands are full, for example while preparing a meal. With a touch dimmer, you can adjust the brightness to suit your needs.
Materials and energy use
Our cabinet lighting is made from aluminium and polycarbonate. The aluminium provides a sturdy frame, while the polycarbonate cover sits over the LED and allows the light to shine through evenly while protecting the fitting.
All models have integrated LED lighting. LEDs use 90% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and 85% less than halogen lamps. They also distribute light more evenly and produce less wasted heat. This can be particularly useful when the lights are installed close to clothing or next to wooden kitchen cupboards.
Installing it yourself
Installing cabinet lighting is relatively straightforward. First, decide where you want to position the spotlights. Then secure them with the included screws. We deliberately use screw mounting rather than adhesive, as this provides a more secure and durable installation.
Once the spotlights are in place, neatly route the cables, for example through a small opening in the cupboard, and connect all the cables to the driver.
