How to light a kitchen with LED lights
Lighting a kitchen with LED lights is an increasingly popular choice for anybody looking for a solution that guarantees environmental sustainability, practicality and a definite reduction in energy consumption.The technology is also popular because, amongst other things, it does not generate heat or overheat.
Lighting wall units, under-units, tables and worktops
LED fittings can be mounted inside units with motion detectors, or outside with either switches that are linked to other kitchen lighting sources or their own dedicated switches.An electrician can fit either option without difficulty.Each individual LED has its own dedicated switch. (which must be tuned on to allow master switch operation)
LED lamps are often used as the main lighting source for wall units and under-units to allow you to achieve the best lighting possible for cooking.
LED lamps are often used as the main lighting source for wall units and under-units to allow you to achieve the best lighting possible for cooking.
They can be installed using special aluminum LED fittings embedded in the wall unit compartment opening (as an integral part of the base unit) or as an additional accessory under a wall unit: if you decide to use them during the kitchen design stage, you can hide the cables behind the wall units.
But lighting a kitchen correctly also means providing the right light for the worktop and table to avoid creating annoying shadows whilst preparing food.
Even here you can safely use LED lights, using suspended or ceiling lights to give a more homogeneous and total cover lighting.In most cases, LEDs can be set to adjust the light intensity from soft to bright.For kitchen led lamps, this is simply done by holding down the LED terminal
Emotional Dual Color Technology
When lighting your kitchen with led lights it is now possible to fit lamps that allow you to choose, not only the colour intensity (soft-luminous), but also the light colour (warm – cold).This modular system is both an excellent source of lighting and an elegant design feature.
THIS feature (defined Emotion Dual Color) allows you to progressively change the light from warm (3000 k) to cold (4000 k) primarily for atmosphere, but it can also help during food preparation (cold and bright light is useful during intricate stages of cutting or food preparation).
