Halogen

A good solution for the design of the kitchen space with the help of lamps will be mounted, overhead or embedded halogens. Capsule models that are simply mounted in furniture are considered the most popular. They should be placed in a certain gap, evenly along the bottom of the hanging furniture.

Exterior decorative features of LED bulbs will not in the least spoil the interior of a kitchen of any style, ranging from classic to modern hi-tech, fusion, provence, etc.

According to its structure, the tape resembles a pillow no thicker than 0.25 mm. It is made of a dielectric material on which the LEDs are mounted, the conductive path. Only one linear meter can occupy up to 30 micro bulbs.One reel of such a device reaches a length of 5 m.

An important advantage of led-backlighting is its variability. The model can emit both monochrome color and delight the eyes of households with a variety of colors, warm and cold tonalities.

Most often, the LED tape is mounted on a special adhesive layer under the wall cabinets, scatters light over the entire area from the worktop to the kitchen apron. Incredibly stylish, it looks in combination with glossy cladding or glass panels. A non-trivial solution would be to use light bulbs with glass triplex. In this case, the tape will be located between the glass layers.

The kitchen will use the following fixtures:

  • linear;
  • remote;
  • vertical, aimed at the wall from the bottom up;
  • skinali with LED backlight;
  • models mounted on the perimeter or on the sides of a furniture set.
