Outdoor Lighting
The obvious advantage to outdoor lighting is the enhancement to your outdoor kitchen’s appearance. The illumination makes your outdoor kitchen stand out; well designed and correctly installed outdoor lighting increases the value of your outdoor kitchen.
For illuminating Outdoor Kitchens the lighting can be mounted into the Outdoor Kitchen framing with exterior puck lights or rope lighting as an inexpensive option. Lighting can also be attached to structures for excellent task lighting at night and to illuminate other areas of your outdoor living space.
One of the most popular types of lighting is L.E.D strip lighting that can be incorporated into almost any design. L.E.D strip lighting can easily change colours to set a mood and works well in glass block back-splashes to illuminate countertops.
Types of Outdoor Lighting Options
