Under-Cabinet Lighting in Singapore: Kitchens & More
Under-cabinet lighting — LED strips or lights fixed beneath wall cabinets — brightens the worktop where you actually work and adds a warm glow. It’s a small upgrade with a big effect. Here’s what to know.
Key takeaways
- Under-cabinet lights brighten the worktop task area.
- They add ambience and depth to the kitchen.
- Usually LED strips — efficient and discreet.
- Plan the wiring with the cabinetry.
Function and mood
Wall cabinets cast shadows on the worktop below — under-cabinet lighting removes them, giving proper task light for prep and cooking. Left on low in the evening, it also provides a lovely ambient glow as part of a layered lighting scheme.
What’s used
Discreet LED strips or slim fittings tucked under the cabinets are efficient, cool and long-lasting. Warm-white suits most kitchens; the strips are hidden behind a lip so you see the light, not the fitting.
Getting it neat
For a clean result, the wiring and driver are concealed and planned with the cabinetry — best done during a kitchen renovation. It’s a straightforward electrical addition.
