Planning Kitchen Lighting

Kitchen lighting works best in layers. Task lighting under wall units or in shelving lights the worktop where you prepare food. General lighting, usually ceiling spotlights, lights the room evenly. Feature lighting, such as pendants over an island or LED strips in glass cabinets and plinths, adds atmosphere in the evening.

Plan lighting at the design stage, before the cabinets are made, so cables and LED channels can be built into the units rather than added afterwards. Dimmable circuits let the same kitchen work for a busy breakfast and a relaxed dinner.

Pronorm's i-luminate range builds light into the kitchen furniture itself. See it on our i-luminate kitchens page, read how to achieve the perfect kitchen lighting, or see lit displays at our kitchen showroom in Leeds.
