Hello, It is LED strip set into the side of the cabinet so it shines sideways illuminating the glass. That's why it sparkles so well. Downlights are too focused to achieve this and can get blocked. Keep in mind you need to hide the driver somewhere to power the led's; although you can wire it from another room, basement, etc. Good luck!

Under-cabinet lighting - hit or miss?

LED strips for low level cupboard/island plinths have their merits in showcasing themselves, however aren't necessary if the space already houses good lighting from overhead lights or natural lighting. However, using under cabinet lighting underneath wall units works particularly well when the main lighting isn't required and the occupants wish to have a dimmer atmosphere. They can also serve the purpose of providing necessary light for worktops when being used for cooking etc. www.pwjarchitects.com

How To Light Your Kitchen

Good lighting will enable you to highlight the architecture of your space, your interior design scheme, as well as creating a mood and ambiance within your home. As with most areas of interior design, there are uber cheap and insanely expensive ways in which you can alter the lighting in your home. So, whatever route you choose, remember to have fun, be creative and incorporate a sense of your own personal style into the mix. Lighting is a critical feature in the kitchen, with all of us needing essential task and accent lighting to create defined zones for cooking and relaxing. Principally, task lighting provides a greater concentration of light, which is best positioned amid highly used areas of the kitchen: typically over a sink, cooker and work surface to ensure full illumination. I also find under-cabinet lighting is an efficient way to quickly and easily illuminate your worktop, as it evenly distributes the light across the area below without unsightly wires and switches. Task lighting under wall-hung cabinets will reflect light onto the work surface which will aid with food preparation. Plus, convenience lighting such as in-drawer and in-cabinet lighting will also make your kitchen more user-friendly. Try to balance bright task lighting with soft mood lighting, as this will create an accent in the room and separate the work area from the more social areas of the kitchen. If you enjoy entertaining and hold regular dinner parties, then mood lighting will allow you to create a more intimate ambiance. Accent lighting, like spot lights, dramatic pendant lights grouped together over a central island or recessed lighting that highlights a display cabinet or dark void, are all ways you can change a clinical work space into a comfortable and aesthetically beautiful kitchen.

You can get aluminium profiles which are designed to be recessed into the underside of the cabinet. That way you will have nothing sticking out. However this is only possible if your cabinet is thick enough so that it will still be strong enough once the strip is carved out. Do you know the cabinet thickness? The other option which I think looks quite neat is a quadrant profile, so like a quarter of a cylinder shape, all the way along where the splashback meets the upper cabinets. We have this in our utility and it looks good.

This lighting job is amazing! So well done! I wish your company was located in Atlanta! Would you mind sharing the LED strip lighting product name/brand? We have tried Armacost in our project and are struggling with the joints and the installation of it.
