  • Cabinet lighting is a lighting system where light fixtures are installed on, inside, or around cabinets to provide illumination at the cabinet level. Instead of relying solely on ceiling-mounted lights, this type of lighting places light closer to the cabinets themselves, making shelves, surfaces, and storage areas easier to see.

    Cabinet lighting is most often used in kitchens, but it can also be installed in garages, workshops, laundry rooms, and other areas with built-in cabinetry. By adding light directly where cabinets are located, you can improve visibility, make storage easier to use, and contribute to a more balanced lighting layout within the room.

  • In-cabinet lighting is installed inside cabinets to illuminate the interior space where items are stored. These fixtures are positioned to light shelves and cabinet contents directly, which can be helpful in enclosed cabinets or areas where visibility is limited once the cabinet door is opened.

    This type of lighting is often used in pantries, display cabinets, and storage areas where seeing items clearly supports organization and efficiency. By brightening the inside of the cabinet, in-cabinet lighting can make stored items easier to locate and reduce reliance on surrounding room lighting.

Under-Cabinet Lighting

Under-cabinet lighting is placed beneath upper cabinets to provide light across the surface below. By directing illumination downward, it brings light to areas that are typically used for work or preparation and helps avoid uneven lighting caused by overhead fixtures.

This lighting is commonly used in kitchens and other work-focused spaces where consistent visibility is important. Under-cabinet lighting helps support detailed tasks while maintaining a clean look that does not draw attention away from the surrounding cabinetry.

Above-Cabinet Lighting

Above-cabinet lighting is light used at the top of the cabinetry rather than being directed at a specific surface. The light shines upward, allowing it to reflect off the ceiling and surrounding surfaces instead of shining directly into the room. This type of lighting is often used to enhance the overall atmosphere of a space. By adding a soft layer of indirect illumination, above-cabinet lighting can help create a more balanced look and reduce the stark contrast that can occur with ceiling lighting alone.

Hire an Expert for Your Cabinet Lighting Installation

A proper cabinet lighting installation depends on careful planning and proper electrical work. A qualified lighting electrician ensures fixtures are placed safely, wired correctly, and integrated with your existing electrical system. Mr. Electric of Columbia installs cabinet lighting inside, under, or above cabinets based on how each area is used and the level of illumination needed.

Dimmer switches can also be implemented to adjust brightness throughout the day. Dimmers allow lighting to be brighter for detailed tasks or lower for a more relaxed setting. We provide you with expert solutions, from the design phase to wiring and installation, to fit into your space and function reliably.

Additional Indoor Lighting Solutions

Cabinet lighting can be part of a broader lighting plan for your home. Mr. Electric of Columbia installs a range of indoor light fixtures to support different rooms and activities. Accent lighting can highlight architectural features or decorative elements, while track lighting offers adjustable positioning for flexible lighting needs. Recessed lighting provides even illumination with a low-profile look that blends into ceilings.

We also install lighting controls that add convenience and adaptability. Light timers allow lights to operate on a schedule, dimmers provide adjustable brightness, and lighting sensors respond to motion or changes in light levels. For homeowners interested in smart home features, compatible lighting can be connected to an existing system so fixtures and controls work together smoothly.
