Kitchen Lighting Ideas
Under cabinet, worktop, plinth and cupboard lighting, designed to work together.
Kitchen lighting guide
Light your kitchen in layers
The best kitchen lighting ideas use more than one kind of light. Task lighting under the wall cabinets lights the worktop where you prepare food. Convenience lighting inside cupboards, larders and drawers helps you find things. Mood lighting along the plinth, under the worktop edge and around the island adds depth in the evening.
Sensio designs LED kitchen lighting for every one of those zones: under cabinet lights, LED strip lights, profiles, plinth lights, and the drivers and sensors that run them.
Plan your kitchen lightingKitchen lighting ideas, zone by zone
Light the worktop under wall cabinets with spotlights or LED strip. Add strip under the worktop overhang to make an island a feature, and plinth lights for a glow at floor level. Light cupboards, larders and drawers as they open, show off shelves and glassware, and use rechargeable lights or magnetic track to add light to an existing kitchen.

How to plan your kitchen lighting
1. Light in layers
Start with task lighting at the worktop, add convenience lighting in cupboards and drawers, then decide where mood lighting will add atmosphere.
2. Factor in the power
Run the wiring before the kitchen is fitted. Plan power to the wall units, base units and island, and where the drivers will sit.
3. Complement the design
Warm white suits wood and traditional kitchens, cool white suits modern finishes, and natural white works with most. TrioTone® lets you choose on the day.
4. Create zones
Put each zone on its own switch, so you choose which lights come on and when.
5. Choose the controls
Light cupboards as the door opens, switch zones together, or dim from a remote or the Link Sensio app.

FAQ sur l'éclairage de cuisine
Parcourir les éclairages de cuisineQuelles sont les meilleures idées d'éclairage pour une cuisine ?
Superposez trois types d’éclairage. L’éclairage fonctionnel sous les meubles hauts éclaire le plan de travail, l’éclairage de confort à l’intérieur des placards et des tiroirs vous aide à trouver vos objets, et l’éclairage d’ambiance sur les plinthes, les bords du plan de travail et les étagères ajoute une atmosphère particulière.
À quel moment dois-je planifier l'éclairage de ma cuisine ?
Au stade de la conception, avant l'installation de la cuisine. Il est beaucoup plus facile d'amener l'électricité vers les meubles hauts, les meubles bas et l'îlot avant l'installation qu'après.
Quelle est la meilleure couleur d'éclairage pour une cuisine ?
Le blanc chaud convient aux cuisines traditionnelles et en bois, le blanc froid aux designs contemporains, et le blanc naturel s'adapte à la plupart des finitions. Les éclairages TrioTone® et CCT vous permettent de choisir ou de modifier la couleur. Voir la technologie CCT.
Comment puis-je contrôler l'éclairage de la cuisine ?
Configurez des zones sur différents interrupteurs, utilisez des détecteurs d'ouverture pour que les placards s'éclairent lorsqu'ils sont ouverts, ou utilisez un pilote intelligent pour contrôler l'éclairage depuis une télécommande ou une application mobile. Parcourez nos pilotes et commandes.
Puis-je ajouter de l'éclairage à une cuisine existante ?
Oui. Les lampes sur batterie rechargeables ne nécessitent aucun câblage, et le rail magnétique Affinity vous permet d'ajouter ou de déplacer des éclairages sous vos placards ultérieurement.
Où puis-je acheter l'éclairage de cuisine Sensio ?
L'éclairage Sensio est disponible auprès des cuisinistes, des installateurs et de nos distributeurs et revendeurs. Les professionnels peuvent demander l'ouverture d'un compte professionnel.
Can I add lighting to an existing kitchen?
Yes. Rechargeable battery lights need no wiring, and the Affinity magnetic track lets you add or move lights under cabinets later.
How can I control kitchen lighting?
Set up zones on different switches, use door sensors so cupboards light when opened, or use a smart driver to control lighting from a remote or the Link Sensio app. Browse sensors and controls.
Do I need an electrician to fit kitchen lighting?
Sensio 24V lights plug into the driver, so fitting the lights themselves is simple. Any work on mains wiring, including connecting the driver to the supply, should be done by a qualified electrician.
Where can I buy Sensio kitchen lighting?
Sensio lighting is available through kitchen retailers, installers and our distributors and stockists. Trade customers can apply for a trade account.
