Mainly used for mood lighting, LED flexi-strips<\/a><\/strong> can be fitted along kick boards or below kitchen cabinets. You can create a floating effect at a kitchen island by fixing them right around the base. The Tagra 24W Warm White LED Light Strip<\/strong><\/a> is ideal for this.<\/p>\n Often in the kitchen you\u2019ll be working in your own shadow, especially at outer worktops. Under-cabinet lighting<\/a><\/strong> solves this by delivering light straight to the surface. Tagra Warm White LED Strip Light<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>is practical, stylish and creates mood.<\/p>\n 3.

\nFluorescent fittings are a kitchen standard, and they\u2019ve improved a lot over the years. Problems such as flickering no longer exist, plus up to six of these can be linked, so you can create precisely the lighting scheme you need.<\/p>\n
\nFire-rated products like the Luceco F-Eco 5W Warm White Adjustable Downlight<\/strong><\/a> are ideal for ambient lighting. A dimmable fitting allows control over lighting mood, especially when contrasted with other lights. Building regulations require recessed ceiling lights under occupied floors to be fire-resistant.<\/p>\n
\nWall lights work well in a kitchen if there\u2019s space. The Edit Bench Wall Light<\/a><\/strong> with its trendy copper finish suits a traditional room. You might install it over a breakfast bar or table, giving you extra light for reading the paper or even eating.<\/p>\n
\nPendants work well over breakfast bars, kitchen islands or dining tables. The Elstead Provence Rise and Fall Pendant<\/strong><\/a> is inspired by an old French design. Install this over an island and set it high to light an entire food prep area or low as an intimate dining light.<\/p>\n
\nFor homes with low ceilings, flush fittings use as little vertical space as possible. They don\u2019t have to compromise on style, either, as the Searchlight American Diner Flush Ceiling Light<\/a><\/strong> shows. This traditional fitting is inspired by the metallic lights that were popular in 1950s American diners.<\/p>\n
\nTrack lighting allows spotlight heads to be moved freely along a length of track. This is ideal above the edges of a kitchen island or counter top. It\u2019s especially useful with metallic surfaces, as the ability to change lighting angles helps control glare. Robus Acorn<\/a><\/strong> track lighting suits this role.<\/p>\n![\"Robus](\"https:\/\/www.lyco.co.uk\/advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/27906_04-300x300.jpg\")

\nIf you spend a lot of time in the kitchen and enjoy entertaining, a designer light will make the space special. A three light bar, such as the Edit Craft Ceiling Pendant<\/a>,<\/strong> add a bit of glamour to your room, and looks great when placed directly over a dining room table or kitchen island.<\/p>\n![\"Edit](\"https:\/\/www.lyco.co.uk\/advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/44487_01.jpg-300x300.jpg\")

\nOutdoor decking lights can be used as kitchen plinth lights. These tough little fittings can stand being splashed with a mop or kicked. Install them along the lower plinth section of your kitchen floor units. The Robus Garland Kit <\/strong><\/a>includes 10 lights, each giving an attractive glow for relaxing effect.<\/p>\n
