Good lighting can make the difference between a room that is pleasant and inviting or one where the light is too bright or where shadowy pockets exist, making it dark and dingy. A properly lit room often has several layers of lighting that homeowners can use for different purposes. An under cabinet lighting system is one way to add a layer of light to a kitchen, craft room or any other area of your home that may have dark areas due to cabinets or shelving.
