Recessed LED Lights Take Off in Kitchen Projects

Homeowners love the look of specialized lighting that highlights certain parts of the kitchen such as under cabinets and behind shelves. According to the results of the 2016 House Kitchen Trends Study, 74% of kitchen projects incorporate undercabinet lighting, 72% include recessed lighting, and 19% add in-cabinet lighting. Tom Sargeant, vice president of product development for Generation Brands, parent company of lighting makers Seagull and Tech Lighting, attributes the recent popularity of these stealthy but impactful lighting fixtures to technical improvements in recessed LED lighting options. Greatly improved LED light outputs have allowed for smaller, streamlined fixtures with stylish trim and creative design elements.
