Question 3

How are under-cabinet lights powered?

Accepted Answer

When installing under cabinets, you need to consider the power options. Under-cabinet lights can get their power in three different ways:

line voltage
low voltage
battery power

A line voltage light goes directly into the electrical system. A low voltage plug-in light typically goes in a power outlet. A battery-powered light relies on AA batteries instead of the home’s electricity.

HOMEnhancements uses line voltage cabinet lights which require a 120 Volt. AC grounded electrical supply line. These easy-to-install hardwired lights include mounting hardware and efficiently brighten the dark spaces under your cabinet.

Question 4

What lumens and color temperature do I need?

Accepted Answer

Task lights such as under-cabinet lights require more lumens than ambient lighting since they cast light on a designated area for a specific purpose. Task lighting typically measures at 50 lumens per square foot. This sits at around 1000 lumens. Use this number as a starting point. Then choose the brightness you want based on personal preference. When preparing food under the counter light, you will want a color temperature between 3000K and 5000K. This creates contrast against the surrounding areas and makes the food look appealing.
