Cabinet lighting contributes to better visibility and organization in spaces used every day, and can even add ambiance to a room. When storage areas and work surfaces are properly lit, tasks feel more manageable and spaces feel more intentional. Mr. Electric of St. Louis provides cabinet lighting in St. Louis, MO, with options that support visibility, organization, and the overall feel of your interior spaces.
Under-Cabinet Lighting
Under-cabinet lighting is installed under upper cabinets to direct light onto the surfaces below. Placing the light source closer to countertops or workbenches helps minimize shadows created by overhead fixtures and provides clearer visibility where detailed tasks take place.
This type of lighting is commonly used in kitchens, workshops, and other areas where work surfaces are used regularly. Under-cabinet lighting supports tasks such as food preparation or project work while maintaining a clean, unobtrusive appearance.
Above-Cabinet Lighting
Above-cabinet lighting is lighting installed along the top edge of cabinets to direct light toward the ceiling rather than onto work surfaces. This placement creates indirect illumination that spreads gently through the upper portion of the room instead of concentrating light in a single area.
Above-cabinet lighting is often used to soften the overall appearance of a space and add visual depth. When used alongside other lighting features, it contributes a subtle layer of ambient light without competing with task-focused fixtures.
Trust the Pros for Cabinet Lighting Installations
Installing cabinet lighting involves more than placing fixtures where they look appealing. Electrical planning, proper wiring, and secure mounting all play a role in how well the lighting performs over time. Working with a licensed lighting electrician helps ensure the installation aligns with electrical standards and functions safely within your home.
Mr. Electric of St. Louis installs cabinet lighting inside, under, or above cabinets based on how each area is used and how much illumination is needed. Homeowners may also choose to include dimmer switches to adjust brightness for different activities or times of day. From evaluating existing wiring to completing fixture installation, our team focuses on creating lighting that integrates smoothly with your space and supports everyday use.
Additional Indoor Lighting Solutions
Beyond cabinet lighting, Mr. Electric of St. Louis works with a variety of indoor light fixtures that can be added or updated throughout your home. Different rooms often require different lighting styles, depending on how the space is used and how light needs to be distributed. Selecting the right fixtures can help improve visibility while keeping the overall look of the room consistent.
Accent lighting can be used to draw attention to architectural features or decorative elements. Track lighting allows individual lights to be positioned and adjusted as needed, which can be helpful in spaces where lighting needs may change. Recessed lighting provides broad illumination with a low-profile appearance that blends into ceilings.
We also install lighting controls that support convenience and flexibility. Light timers allow lights to operate on a schedule, while dimmers give you the ability to adjust brightness levels. Lighting sensors respond to motion or changes in light, offering hands-free operation in frequently used areas. For homeowners interested in smart home technology, compatible lighting can be connected to an existing system so lights and controls work together in a coordinated way.
