Homes today are more like small buildings than the traditional houses of forty years past. They contain more rooms, more furniture, and more interior custom build outs than previous designs afforded. As such, cabinets have moved beyond the kitchen and bathroom into other portions of the home as well. Workrooms and home offices contain both functional and decorative fixtures constructed to make life more convenient on a room by room basis.
The specific purpose of cabinet lighting thus varies accordingly. It can be either exclusively task oriented, exclusively decorative, or a subtle blend of both. With specialty and custom cabinets, the decorator is often hard pressed to find standard fixtures that will fit the unique dimensions and eclectic materials used by builders today.
Particularly on the decorative end of the spectrum, puck lights are becoming increasingly unpopular because their high visibility often detracts from the visual aesthetic of specialty design. Linear strip lights are now the dominant fixture in this discipline, and linear lighting manufacturers who can custom manufacture fixtures to fit precise vertical and horizontal dimensions become an increasingly valuable resource in this rapidly changing world of lighting design.
Realizing that in order to make truly superior linear lighting products, companies would have to accommodate aesthetics, practical usage, and power saving features all in one bundled value offering. It became obvious that cabinet lighting itself would become increasingly decorative in its intention and simultaneously more sophisticated in functional applications as well. Shelf lighting strips have therefore been designed that would be all things to all workers, homemakers, collectors, and professionals from a wide range of vertical markets.
This resulted in many patented designs of linear strip lights, which will fully accommodate the demands of any commercial, office, home, or specialty cabinet lighting requirement that a client may bring to the table. Each strip light features a specialty niche functionality combined with features shared by all custom linear strips. They are designed to make them both the most unique lighting fixtures of their kind and the most readily adaptable to any environment.
In addition to the design of specialty strip lighting types, a new method of conductivity has been developed that would completely eliminate visible wires. This technique allows current to be supplied to low voltage festoon lamps by means of metal shelf standards connected to a low voltage transformer. This allows for moving adjustable shelves to different levels without rewiring or risk of short circuit. This has made them a hot item in display cabinet lighting and built in custom shelving units. Their low profile design makes them undetectable to the casual viewer, and their proprietary conductivity features allow decorators to move or replace entire shelves when the time comes to modify or switch out displays. Also, LED strip lights have proven themselves exceptional accent lighting tools whose compact, wireless presence is ideal for glass accessory cabinets and specialty showcase displays.
Office managers also prefer low voltage cabinet lighting strips to traditional fluorescent fixtures when it comes to delivering essential task light to break rooms, bathrooms, and kitchens. It was proven two decades ago that flicker from fluorescent light sources causes eyestrain and headaches. Thus, replacing fluorescent lights with low voltage Xenon or super energy conscious LED festoons makes for a more pleasant and comfortable environment.
Along similar lines, kitchen under cabinet lighting has had to evolve beyond the rudimentary task oriented focus that also relied upon fluorescent strip lights in past decades. Kitchens now are larger and often the center of home sponsored events. In fact, they are often one of the first rooms that interior decorators and lighting designers pay attention to for accent lighting fixtures. This is because kitchens and bathrooms are the two rooms every guest will eventually visit at some point during his or her stay.
The new technology offers a number of color trim choices that allow decorators to combine glare free functional cabinet lighting with an aesthetic sensitivity to adjoining layers of room and accent lighting and specialty interior designs. Low voltage fixtures can be dimmed upon command to create different levels of light for different times of day and different activities. There is also an impressive selection of colour temperatures in incandescent, xenon lamps, and LED festoon lamps. |
