Under-Cabinet Lighting

Task lighting installed on the underside of wall cabinets to illuminate the countertop work surface below. Under-cabinet lighting eliminates shadows cast by overhead fixtures and makes food preparation safer and more comfortable. LED strip lights and puck lights are the most popular types, offering energy efficiency, low heat, and dimmable operation. Light rail molding is often used to conceal the fixtures from view.
