It’s Time To Update Your Undercabinet Lighting

If you currently have xenon or halogen undercabinet lighting, this one’s for you. You may be experiencing one (or all) of the following:

  1. Regular light bulb changes
  2. Discolored plastic lenses over time
  3. Overheated cabinet contents (i.e. your stash of chocolate melts if you keep it on the bottom shelf)

We have good news! When it comes to kitchen (or any) undercabinet lighting, there’s never been a more exciting time to upgrade than right now.

“LED lighting has really come of age for undercabinet lighting,” says Jim Meltzer, Outside Sales Manager and LED expert at Connecticut Lighting Centers. “Halogen and xenon bulbs use more electricity and create a lot of heat build up in the cabinets – but the LED undercabinet lights available now completely eliminate those issues.”

Kichler Design Pro LED Direct Wire – Available in 1-light 6″ width, 2-light 12″ width, 3-light 22″ width or 4-light 30″ width and in Bronze, Stainless Steel or White finishes (shown left to right). A size and finish for every space.

If you’re ready to upgrade to LED, we recommend the Design Pro LED Direct Wire undercabinet lighting by Kichler. Here’s why:

  • First, installation is a piece of cake: the Design Pro LED Direct Wire “plug and play” unit ties into your existing undercabinet wiring. The built-in transformer/driver is totally self-contained – allowing you to easily swap out your old undercabinet light.
  • It has an amazing 1″ profile and comes in 1, 2, 3 or 4 light configurations and bronze, stainless steel or white finishes, allowing you to illuminate every space.
  • You’ll save on energy – compared to halogen or xenon, LEDs use significantly less energy. For example, a 22″ 3-light unit in xenon uses 54 watts, versus the LED counterpart, which only uses 9.3 watts. Plus, these LEDs are dimmable, which allows for more energy savings and more control.
  • You’ll get a pure, even flow of light with fantastic color rendition (3000K color temperature)
  • Each unit generates virtually zero heat (your bottom-shelf chocolate stash will stay melt-free!)
  • Best of all, changing out those hard-to-reach under cabinet bulbs is one less household chore on your “to do” list. All Design Pro LED fixtures are rated for a lifetime of 40,000 hours – about 25 years of standard use.
