When it comes to lighting a kitchen, there are several options to consider. Firstly a kitchen is a practical room so the light level needs to be sufficient to allow you to partake in everyday tasks such as washing up and cooking. Most kitchens rely on ceiling lights for the majority of the light and if you are lucky you may be able to add a table, floor or wall lamp elsewhere to compliment your ceiling lights. Recessed lights are a popular option for kitchens as they are installed in groups and offer a strong light level in specific directions. Spotlights especially bar spotlights are also popular for long kitchens. We would also recommend led lights which offer high lumen outputs, are long lasting and boast low running costs. We boast a large range of flush led ceiling lights and pendant lights perfect for adding to kitchens. For rental properties or for budget options we boast a range of cost effective led bulkheads and battens which provide a strong light output and are practical.
If you are lucky enough to have a kitchen island or breakfast bar, we offer a huge selection of kitchen island lights, including single pendants, bar pendant lights and cluster pendants as well as other options. Many kitchens are open plan designed now so choosing lights that compliment or match each other is worth considering. Many kitchen island lights are installed as a decorative light which compliments recessed lights, so the light chosen is more of a feature than needing to be an overly bright light. We stock a large range of modern, contemporary and traditional kitchen island lights, with options to suit kitchens off all sizes.
As well as the main kitchen lights, accent lights are a popular choice. Under cabinet, plinth lights and cupboard lights are decorative options, which look effective left on in the evenings as opposed to the main light/s. Led strip is often used under cupboards and covers large lengths and is available in warm white, cool white, daylight and even rgbw colour changing options.
