5 Reasons to Love Under Cabinet Lighting

February 21, 2019

New year, new you, new kitchen. 2019 is already picking up speed, and it is time to start tackling your home remodeling projects one by one.

If kitchen upgrades are on your home renovation to-do list this year, make room in the budget for some under cabinet lighting. This special lighting feature serves as task lighting, adds ambiance, and even saves energy.

Our team at Buzz Electrical has years of experience installing under cabinet lighting in Arkansas homes. Here are five reasons to love under cabinet lighting from our experienced electricians.

1. Enhanced Task Lighting

The primary purpose behind under cabinet lighting is to offer a task lighting solution for darker parts of the kitchen counter. Since cabinets cast shadows over the counter, under cabinet lighting offers ideal clarity for chopping veggies, reading recipes, or measuring out ingredients. Make your cooking easier than ever with this new source of task lighting.

2. Flexible Lighting Solutions

In addition to lighting for your hands while you work in the kitchen, under cabinet lighting offers more lighting alternatives for your whole living and dining experience. You can maximize brightness by leaving the overhead lighting on, or you can set the mood by dimming the overhead lights and leaving the under cabinet lights on for visibility. Under cabinet lights are the perfect solution for fixing a midnight snack without alerting the whole house too.

3. Added Ambiance

This goes hand in hand with flexibility: under cabinet lights can help you customize the ambiance of your kitchen and dining area. Dim the lights overhead and leave under cabinet lights on for a romantic date night cooking with your partner or a formal dinner party with your friends or relatives.

4. Energy Efficiency

Under cabinet lights are amazingly effective despite draining very little energy. If you choose LED under cabinet lighting and add a dimmer switch, you can really maximize energy efficiency. Using less energy to power heavy duty overhead lights can also lower your electrical bills each month.

5. Low Cost

Possibly the best thing about under cabinet lighting is that it’s a relatively low-cost kitchen upgrade. New tile, countertops, or appliances can tally up expenses pretty quickly. You might be surprised at how affordable under cabinet lighting can be and how effectively it can transform your space.
