About Under Cabinet Fixtures

PROLIGHTING’s under cabinet lighting solutions deliver powerful, low-profile illumination for kitchens, workstations, and more.

Under cabinet lighting is one of the most useful and convenient lighting applications on the market today. An LED under cabinet lighting system not only improves the look of a kitchen or workspace, it’s the go-to choice for optimal task illumination. As the name suggests, under cabinet lighting refers to light fixtures that are installed underneath a cabinet, most commonly upper wall. These unobtrusive accent fixtures seamlessly blend into kitchens without disturbing the existing decor. At PROLIGHTING, you’ll find everything you need to get an LED under cabinet lighting system up and running. Or, if you have an outdated system, now’s the perfect time to make the switch to LED. We have hundreds of options available from leading manufacturers like National Specialty Lighting (NSL), RAB, and Lotus LED Lights.

LED under cabinet task lighting doesn’t have to be limited to kitchens. We often see this type of accent lighting in home offices, garages, workbenches, craft rooms, and more. Many fixtures, like puck lights, can function as display lighting for retail and other commercial applications as well. Puck lights have traditionally been popular options for under cabinet lighting, due to their compact size and easy placement. Our LED puck fixtures install onto the underside of cabinets, either surface mounted or recessed. They create a dramatic look similar to a spotlight, and can be used as display lighting in glass cabinets and shelving units.

Today, LED linear fixtures and light bars dominate the market. Traditional linear styles and light bars create a more even and smooth distribution. Many LED linear and light bar systems are linkable - allowing you to daisy-chain multiple bars together (end-to-end or in jumps) for easy customization in any kitchen cabinet configuration, including L-shaped and cabinets of varying lengths and heights. These hidden fixtures can also be used to provide functional and decorative lighting to toe kicks, work stations, coves, niche areas, displays, and other accent lighting applications. Regardless of whether you decide to go with an LED puck light, light bar, or traditional linear fixture, the advantages of LED are numerous.

LED under cabinet fixtures should only be one element of your kitchen’s overall lighting scheme. Consider a lighting layout comprised of pendants, recessed downlighting, or even wall sconces. With so many options and styles available, choosing the right fixtures can sometimes take a bit of research. From length and diameter to color temperature and CRI, several factors go into your under cabinet purchasing decision. That’s where our PROs come in.
