2. Task Lighting
This lighting is what you use for a closer range for tasks in the kitchen. You can place it just above the sink, above the stove, above the counter or even at the bar. Sometimes, general lighting is not enough, especially if you have a wide kitchen space so you need some focal lighting for some areas.
3. Accent Lighting
This lighting can highlight specific objects and areas for the kitchen. Elektra LED lighting often works great as an accent in the kitchen. In other areas of the house, an accent light highlights artwork, books or sculpture.
