Work Areas

Work Areas We spend most of our time in the kitchen and it has multiple functions, many of which require care to avoid accidents. A higher level of illumination is required here.


Fluorescent tubes under wall mounted units cast an efficient light over work surfaces and prevent shadows. They also ensure you are not blocking out the very light in which you need to work.  



Ceiling Lights

Ceiling Lights A central light is also important in a kitchen to provide a general level of illumination and, if you have the space, the use of halogen spot lights mounted on the wall will help to add accent.


If you have glass fronted display cabinets in your kitchen the use of small halogen lights specifically designed for the purpose will add interest.


If your ceiling is low or you want to avoid a central light, consider the use of a number of downlights which create a glare free and pleasing effect whilst remaining functional.
