Under Cabinet Lighting ![]()
has surged in popularity due to its many benefits. It’s great for any spot where you need more light, such as your kitchen. There are also different types of under-cabinet lights with their own set pros and cons which makes it a convenient option no matter what type of space you have!
This surge in popularity because there’s almost nothing better than having an extra source of light anywhere that needs it most—especially the kitchen! And while all kinds produce various levels or quality, each one does so differently depending on whether they’re plugging directly into power points like LED strip lights do–or using batteries like string style lamps might use–which adds another element to consider when making a purchase
LED Lighting
LED Under Cabinet Lighting is the latest and greatest in home lighting. These lights are energy efficient, requiring little maintenance. They also come with a 3-way switch for off, low or high settings to customize your brightness as you need it! You’ll love these sleek LED countertop lights that give you access to any color temperature imaginable so whether its day time at noon or nighttime deep into late night hours they’re perfect for every occasion!
Xenon Under Cabinet Lights
Xenon lighting is one of the oldest types of light, and it’s still popular as under cabinet lights. The white snow-like color makes your countertops pop! But considering Texas’s tropical summer heat in many homes, xenon can get really hot.
Puck Lighting
Puck lights are versatile and come in various styles. They can be used for practical purposes like under-cabinet lighting, or they may serve as a decorative piece spotlighting the favorite reading nook. Puck light bulbs typically use LED technology with halogen gas lamps providing illumination that is more color accurate than LEDs but less long lasting; while xenon bulbs provide little heat output and last longer than both of these other types of bulb technology.
Puck light fixtures come in two varieties: LED models which use less power than traditional halogen bulbs; incandescent versions.
Fluorescent Lighting
Fluorescent under cabinet light fixtures are ideal for those who want a classic, more basic lighting. They use smaller bulbs than they once did and don’t produce much heat as halogen or xenon lights do. It’s also easy to connect them together in order to distribute an even amount of brightness throughout the area- but their color rendering may be less accurate on some tasks such as cooking potatoes (or other vegetables).
The Takeaway
There are many options for under cabinet lighting. Some of the most popular include puck lights, xenon light bulbs and fluorescent tubes. LED is a great option because it’s more energy efficient than other types but also doesn’t heat up as much!
