Kitchen Lights

Welcome to kitchen lighting at Castlegate Electrics, please scroll down for ceiling and wall fittings. Whether you are looking for kitchen ceiling spots, or kitchen shelf/undershelf fixtures or lights we have all bases covered. Track fittings, spot fixtures and fluorescent lighting can all look great in the kitchen, just browse our section of kitchen lighting to find the perfect match for your kitchen lighting needs Safety is paramount where hot liquids, hot surfaces and electrical machinery are being used so the kitchen requires a higher level of light than any other room in the house. A more even distribution of light is required in the kitchen and a central light or multi-head bar with halogen lights will be instrumental in achieving this. An alternative is the use of halogen downlighters mounted within the ceiling. Use lights specifically designed to be fitted under cupboard units to illuminate work surfaces. It is important that these lights run cool particularly where food is being stored in the cupboard above. Typically under cupboard lights are of the fluorescent type. Above all make sure the light falls on the work surface and avoid working in your own shadow. If you have glass fronted cabintets consider the use of small halogen display lights to add interest. If the kitchen is also used for dining it will improve the atmosphere if any fluorescent lights can be swtiched off leaving a lower level of halogen lighting.
