Kitchen & LED lighting
Kitchen Lighting Electrician in Washington
Downlights laid out to the worktops, warm LED where it counts and dimmers that don’t buzz. Lighting is the cheapest thing that transforms a kitchen.
Good kitchen lighting starts with the units: downlights over the worktops and walkways, strips under the wall cabinets that light the work surface, and pelmet and plinth LED for a softer look in the evening.
In open-plan rooms we split the lighting into zones, so kitchen, dining and lounge can be set separately, and match dimmers to the LEDs so nothing flickers.

Kitchen refits in Washington
Kitchen refits and knock-throughs are common across Washington’s 70s and 80s homes. Planning the lighting before plastering means cables go in cleanly and every zone gets its own switch.
Kitchen lighting questions
How many downlights do I need?
It depends on the room and fittings. We place them over worktops and walkways rather than in a grid.
Why do my LEDs flicker on a dimmer?
The dimmer and lamps usually aren’t compatible. We match them.
Can under-cabinet lights be on their own switch?
Yes, or on the same switch as the downlights, whichever you prefer.
