Linear Accent Lighting Solutions: Cabinet Lighting
WHAT IS CABINET LIGHTING?
Under Cabinet Lighting refers 
to illumination installed beneath kitchen cabinets or other shelves, aimed downward to draw attention to decorative backsplashes, countertops, or other focal points. This lighting enhances visibility in areas where overhead lighting may cast shadows or be insufficient, improving functionality. Moreover, it adds aesthetic depth to the kitchen or space by creating a soft, focused light that highlights design elements.
In Cabinet Lighting refers to illuminating items within cabinets. This is generally used with transparent cabinet doors where light is cast inside interior shelving, illuminating, and drawing attention to items displayed. In-Cabinet Lighting not only enhances the aesthetic of the room by adding a subtle ambiance that is visually appealing, but it serves as a functional tool making it easier to see and access spaces where visibility might otherwise be limited.
Over Cabinet Lighting offers both aesthetic enhancement and practical functionality. By illuminating the space above cabinets, it adds depth and ambiance to a room, accentuating architectural features and decorative items while also eliminating shadows and dark corners. This lighting option provides flexibility with customizable choices such as LED strips and puck lights, allowing for tailored designs to suit various spaces.
Toe Kick Lighting is installed at the base of cabinets or other built-in structures, typically near the floor level. It is called toe-kick lighting because it is often positioned in the recessed space beneath the bottom edge of cabinets, known as the toe-kick space. It can create a cozy atmosphere and add sophistication to the room while improving safety by subtly illuminating areas with high foot traffic or low visibility.
Cabinet Lighting and Toe Kick Lighting contribute to a space’s overall aesthetic and functionality. Environmental Lights offers various LED lighting solutions for residential and architectural spaces, including LED strip lights and puck lights. These products can be controlled via switches, dimmers, or smart home systems, providing convenient and versatile lighting control options.
THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT OUR OFFERINGS
LIGHTING OPTIONS
We offer our LED strip lights in a variety of monochrome white, Dim-to-Warm and Tunable White options, giving you maximum versatility for your specific application.
CONTROL OPTIONS
We offer a diverse range of control system options tailored for LED lights, seamlessly integrating them into comprehensive whole-home control systems through DMX decoders. Our products are universally compatible with any control system, and we also provide guidance on utilizing simple dimmer switches for control.
POWER OPTIONS
We offer a wide range of power supplies to meet the needs of different applications. Our DMU power supplies are compatible with Phase and 0-10V dimming. They can switch between two output modes: PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) for loads within 25’ of the driver and CVR (constant voltage reduction) for loads further than 25’ away.
CHANNEL SYSTEMS
Channel systems assist in keeping LED strips cool, thereby extending their lifespan, while also safeguarding against damage and maintaining a neat appearance. Additionally, channels ensure even distribution of light, eliminating any glaring hot spots.
OUR RECOMMENDED LIGHTING PRODUCTS
The Continuous line of strip light is engineered to eliminate hot spots by utilizing chip-on-board LEDs to create a diffused line of light. They are ideal for use around reflective surfaces, such as shiny countertops and floors, because they eliminate the hotspots seen with standard SMD LED strip light while providing consistent CCT and color across light runs.
- Hotspot-free appearance
- Dimmable and compatible with a wide range of LED dimmers
- Monochrome White & Tunable White options available (2700K-6500K)
Light is engineered to represent colors across the spectrum accurately. It includes 160 LED chips per meter and CurrentControl, which means you can achieve longer run lengths without any visible effects of voltage drop, ensuring consistent brightness throughout the strip.
- High CRI of 95 ensuring accurate color representation
- Even Lighting: 160 LEDs/meter for more uniform lighting distribution
- Dimmable and compatible with a wide range of LED dimmers
- Available in 2700K, 3000K, 4000K, 5000K, 6500K
Featuring a built-in technology that adjusts the LED color temperature as lights are dimmed, providing Tunable White capabilities without requiring specialized controllers or programs. The strip connects directly to a dimming power supply (PWM) and transitions the LEDs to lower CCTs as brightness decreases, replicating the warm glow of incandescent lighting, ranging from 2700K to 1800K CCT.
- Even Lighting: 252 LEDs/meter for uniform lighting distribution
- Dimmable and compatible with PWM power supplies
- 2700K dims to 1800K CCT
