There are so many different options for under cabinet lighting that we love to share customer photos of finished projects. That way, anyone still shopping and comparing models can get a better idea of what each type really looks like in a kitchen. This customer from Chicago, IL, used our Xenon Low Voltage Light Strip and placed the xenon festoon lamps 4 inches apart on center in his kitchen. Here are the photos:

If you’re shopping around for under cabinet lighting, check out these customer photos of our Xenon Line Voltage Thin Under Cabinet Task Lights:
“Just wanted to share with you the results of the Xenon Line Voltage Thin Under Cabinet Task Lights that I ordered from you. We absolutely love them and they’ve made a huge improvement to our kitchen. I was worried that the light would be a bright, unwelcoming color, but they put off a beautiful, warm glow. We placed them towards the front of the cabinet for task lighting and I’m very happy with that choice as well.”

General
If the interior isn’t lit properly, who will notice it? Who will care to notice it? Who will want to notice it?
People are generally drawn to light like moths to a candle.
Lighting can add depth and/or excitement to an interior.
Accent Lighting
Accent lighting adds drama to a room by creating visual interest. As part of a decorating scheme, it is used to spotlight paintings, houseplants, sculpture, and other prized possessions, or to highlight the texture of a wall, drapery or outdoor landscaping.
House plants can be accented by aiming an uplight at the wall behind the plant, creating a dramatic silhouette of the plant against the wall.

Light = Energy
Poorly lit home gyms tend to lack energy whereas a bright space with a generous amount of light is generally more inviting for exercise and can be crucial to creating just the right environment for a vigorous or energetic workout.
Natural Light is Best
Natural light coming from plenty of windows and skylights is the best source of light for a home gym. If the natural light in your home gym is only minimal or non-existent, try using good fluorescent lighting that emulates sunlight. This means that the fluorescent light bulbs should have a high color temperature of 5000K-5500K and very good color rendering of 82 or higher.

Kitchen remodel – copper & walnut counter tops (yes, copper!), cream cabinets, a new refrigerator, oven, sink, and Xenon Line Voltage Thin Under Cabinet Lights. These xenon light fixtures are extremely low-profile (less than 1 inch thick) and give off a bright warm white light. Xenon is always a great option for under cabinet lighting because it’s dimmable, lasts longer than halogen, and doesn’t give off as much heat as halogen.

Trade show lighting is one of the most important things to consider if you’re trying to draw traffic to your booth. Proper lighting will make your booth stand out and attract potential new customers!
