LED lightingIlluminating Finish for Custom Cabinetry Why LED Lighting?LED (light-emitting diode) has been around since 1960s, but commercially available LED lighting has seen its exponential growth only since Noble prize winning inventor Shuji Nakamura's technology breakthrough in the 1990s, making it possible to produce the general-purpose required white LED light on a large scale. LED lighting is energy efficient, durable, safe, and most LEDs have an expected lifespan of 30,000 - 50,000 hours. With the continuing cost dropping, no wonder LED lighting has found tremendous commercial, industrial and residential use.
In high-end custom cabinetry, LED lighting has evolved to provide both functionality and aesthetics. With a good design and the right budget, you can incorporate LED lighting in your custom cabinets, whether it's below or on top of your upper cabinets, under the toe kick, routed into side panels, or even integrated with your
GOLA handle-less channels. The choices are endless! There are many types of LED lighting for residential cabinetry. For the most high-end trendy look, we recommend Tape/Strip or the latest Flexible Silicone LED Lighting. Both types of LED lighting need to have custom cabinets pre-routed and installation to be carried out by licensed professionals . We recommend Tresco Lighting's Strip or Silicone LED lighting products, and when you order our refundable custom design service, we can provide an initial LED lighting layout plan to your electrician and contractor as part of the design.

Flexible Silicone LED Lighting Bright Seamless Side or Top Emitting / Shatterproof and watertight LED Lighting for Custom CabinetryThere are many places that you can incorporate LED lighting with your custom cabinetry and below are the common applications. Under-cabinet led lightingThe most common use of LED lighting in the kitchen is located at the bottom of the upper wall cabinets, providing illumination of the counter space that is normally shadowed due to room lighting comes mainly from the ceiling. At Domain Cabinets, we recommend using a separate door material LED bottom panel that is routed to accommodate strip or silicone LED lighting. The doors of the frameless custom cabinets are fabricated to be protruding down slightly pass the LED Bottom Panel, allowing easy opening of the doors. Otherwise, you can use cabinet door pulls or tip-on push-to-open, depending on your preference. 
A Separate LED Bottom Panel Hosting Strip or Silicone LED Lighting under the Upper Wall Cabinets In-cabinet LED lightingLED lighting can be added to multiple different places inside the cabinet box: vertical display on cabinet side panels, horizontal display on top panel, deck or shelf. Although traditionally a puck lighting shining from above was the popular go-to, the current high-end trend is to use silicone or strip LED Light and display them as thin, bright, straight lines with flush mount. Such LED lights are functioning as utility lighting AND as decorative lighting, especially when paired with clear glass doors. 
Closet Led lightingNobody likes a dark closet, period. Because the latest LED technology allows for seamless bright illumination, LED lighting is a must have for high-end closet design. Toe kick LED lightingLED Lighting under the recessed tock kick section of the base and vanity cabinets is another popular way to add decorative accent lighting. It can also be an alternative to a night light. Strip LED light is the best choice in this application. Although not required, a filler strip with routed channel can be added as the strip LED lighting host. 
Above-Cabinet LED LightingWith the latest strip LED lighting that comes with strong peel-and-stick back, it is possible to simply position them on top of your wall and tall cabinets and hide the power supply out of sight. You can also use door material routed LED Top Panel to function as LED light host AND thin flat molding. Floating Shelf LED LightingFloating shelf with LED lighting makes a great accent piece to any kitchen or room. LED lighting can be positioned on top or bottom of the floating shelf, either in the middle, or towards the front or back of the shelf.  
Open Cabinet / Bookshelf LED LightingSimilar to floating shelf and closet, custom open cabinet or bookshelf are increasingly designed with LED lighting in mind and they can be positioned in various ways to suit client's personal aesthetic taste without sacrificing the functionality. GOLA LED LightingSeveral GOLA manufacturers have introduced latest GOLA channel profiles that incorporate LED lighting, and the result is a testament to the ultimate union of function, beauty and simplicity.
