Kitchen Cabinet Downlights & Under Cabinet Lighting
The kitchen is one of the most used rooms in any home, with the average person spending years of their life preparing food, making drinks, and cleaning up. Good lighting makes these everyday tasks easier, safer, and more enjoyable. That’s where kitchen under cabinet lighting comes in.
Our range of cabinet lights doesn’t just brighten up your worktops—they add a stylish finishing touch to your kitchen. Available in modern finishes such as aluminium, stainless steel and chrome, these fittings provide both durability and sleek design. Whether you’re looking for discreet recessed options, slimline LED strips, or statement triangular fittings, we’ve got a lighting solution to suit your space.

- Improved Visibility: Focused light on your worktops for safer food preparation.
- Stylish Ambience: Create a welcoming glow that transforms your kitchen atmosphere.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of lighting is best for under kitchen cabinets?
The most popular choice is LED under cabinet lighting because it’s energy-efficient, long-lasting, and available in a variety of styles. LED strip lights are ideal for continuous illumination, while recessed cabinet downlights or triangular fittings provide focused task lighting with a stylish finish.
Should under cabinet lighting be warm or cool?
This depends on how you use your kitchen. Cool white (around 4000K) is perfect for task lighting as it provides a bright, clear output for food preparation. Warm white (around 3000K) creates a more relaxing, ambient atmosphere that’s great for dining or entertaining. Many modern fittings now offer colour selectable options so you can switch between both.
Are LED under cabinet lights dimmable?
Yes, many LED cabinet lights are dimmable when paired with a dimmable LED driver and compatible dimmer switch. This allows you to adjust brightness levels and create the perfect mood in your kitchen. Most of the integrated LED fittings aren't dimmable, if you want to dim them, we recommend the Leyton Lighting range with the TOP6 connection system and dimmable LED driver.
Do I need an electrician to install under cabinet lighting?
It depends on the type of lights you choose. Battery-operated and plug-in lights can often be installed as a simple DIY project, while mains-powered lighting should be installed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with UK electrical regulations.
Where should under cabinet lights be placed?
For best results, lights should be installed towards the front of the cabinet underside. This prevents shadows from forming on your worktop and provides even illumination across your surfaces.
Can I replace halogen under cabinet lights with LED?
Yes, LED cabinet lighting is the perfect modern replacement for halogen. LEDs use far less energy, last much longer, and are available in retrofit options designed to fit into existing cabinet cut-outs.
