The Right Kitchen Lighting for You

Your kitchen serves multiple purposes from a place for meal prep to a location for the family to gather. Depending on what you are specifically using your kitchen for, you might need different types of lighting. If you’re interested in new kitchen lighting and you need a residential electrical service in Howard County, the experts at Tim Kyle Electric can assist.

Types of Kitchen Lighting

Under-the-cabinet lighting, ambient lighting, and whole-room lighting are three types of kitchen lighting. If you’re about to embark on a remodeling project or you’re building a new home, you will need a plan. Look around the areas of your kitchen and take note of what activities will happen where. Additionally, take into consideration the amount of natural sunlight that your home receives and the time it occurs.

For food preparation, strong lighting is best. Under-the-cabinet lights would work well for this task. Recessed lights placed in specific areas provide another level of light. Ambient lighting can enhance the mood you’re trying to set. This type of lights will not be useful for chopping or cutting or for reading recipes. For dining areas of the kitchen, opt for hanging lights such as a chandelier with multiple settings. And of course don’t forget to add dimmer switches to control the brightness. In addition, consider smart lighting that allows you to create set-ups that are controlled from your phone or computer.
