Kitchen Lighting
When it comes to kitchen lighting, there are many important factors to take into consideration, such as power consumption and light designing in kitchen space. One of the main reasons that people have started switching to LED lights is the issue of power consumption. In order to know how much power we are consuming while the LED lights are on, we should check the wattage; consequently, we will know how much we have to pay at the end of each month. Furthermore, before you buy your product, we would like to remind you to check if the wattage is per foot, meter, or reel. You might buy something that reads “24 watts” on a reel, and then, you get home and recognize that it is per meter or per foot, which means that the whole reel actually consumes much more than that. Moreover, you might buy a power supply that covers 42 watts, thinking that would be enough, which will make matters worse. Such an issue might occur if a seller doesn’t properly list important information in an easy to read format. In order to design the kitchen lighting in the limited space of the kitchen, classic lightings are neither suitable nor efficient.
Let us talk about the many solutions that LED lights can offer you. LED and LED chips are small, and they can form bigger and brighter light sources. You can design innovative and interesting models for your kitchen lighting according to your desired tastes with these LED lights, to suit your kitchen space. The other benefit of LED lights is their controllability; for instance, in case of RGB LED lights, a remote or a plugged controller could adjust the brightness and color. Regarding the colored LED lights, two primary types of colored LED strips are available, fixed single color, and color changing LED. The fixed color LED strip emits only one color, and the operating principle is similar to the white LED strips; while the color-changing LED strip, consists of multiple color channels on a single LED strip. The most basic type includes red, green, and blue channels (RGB), which practically allows you to achieve any color by dynamically mixing the various color components on the fly.
Another advantage of LED lights is that they are waterproof. You may use waterproof kitchen light fixtures to ensure that the electrical connections are also water-resistant. Choosing a color temperature is chiefly a matter of personal preference; however, there is some advice that you can use. For instance, in rooms and areas where you like to relax and unwind, such as the dining room, living room or bedroom, using warm white is a good option. In places where you need to concentrate, such as the bathroom, kitchen, or a home office, cool white would be a better option. You may also consider using warm and cool white lights collectively, which can positively enhance the function of a room. For example, in the kitchen, you may use warm white bulbs in the ceiling to produce general ambiance, while you can install cool white bulbs or LED strip lights underside of your kitchen cabinets to create a bright working light above the kitchen worktops.
