This week we have been out to quote a couple of kitchen lighting projects for our customers in the Broxbourne area, they are a few questions that we get regularly asked on this subject.
Here are a few recent ones:
Can I have LED energy efficient lighting my kitchen?
The answer to this question is ‘Yes you can’ LED lighting comes in many applications such as spotlights, downlights, LED strip lights, Battens, plinth lights and those standard light bulbs.
What type of lighting is best for my kitchen?
We normally recommend a good source of ambient in the kitchen, such as downlights but directional spot lights can be a great alternative, If you have a breakfast bar we would also say pendant lights would be a great feature.
Can I have under cabinet lights?
If we can get a cable there, then you can have a light. But from our point light points are much easier to install during installation of a new kitchen and it will give you many more options when it comes to locations and how they are switched on.
Which Type of downlights can I have?
Pretty much any type of downlight/Spots that you want, but if your kitchen has a floor above the spots should be fire rated to comply with the building regulations (Part P, Part L and Part B).
How do I get that Industrial Look?
We can achieve the industrial look by wiring your kitchen in exposed metal conduit which will give your kitchen the ultimate industrial makeover.
