New LED Cabinet Lighting
Kichler Embraces Energy Efficient Living, Introduces New LED Cabinet Lighting
New under cabinet lighting applies finest LED technology for energy savings

CLEVELAND—Feb. 6, 2008— As more and more consumers look for ways to save energy, Kichler continues to respond with new energy-saving solutions. In addition to the full collection of energy efficient fixtures already offered, Kichler introduces Design Pro Series™ -- a new line of energy efficient, LED under cabinet lighting for the kitchen. The new system provides considerable energy savings with 40,000 hours (four times longer than xenon or fluorescent) and in many cases, more than 20 years of life.

In addition to its energy savings, Kichler Design Pro Series applies the best LED technology available, which means no more intrusive, blue hues.

“In the past, LEDs were synonymous with harsh, blue tints, but LED technology has grown considerably,” said Jim Jones, Kichler product manager. “The LED chips Kichler uses emit a soft, white light that adds warmth and ambience to any kitchen. Plus, because kitchens incorporate multiple light sources that are left on for extended periods, the line offers considerable energy savings.”

Sold under the new Kichler Lighting Systems brand, an extension of the Kichler name offering cabinet, linear, task and mood lighting, the product’s LED light source offers a safe, cool light with the smallest profile in the industry.  Measuring at half an inch, the product enables even the most discriminating homeowner to seamlessly hide the product under any cabinet, no matter what the size or configuration.

For further benefit, installation is a snap -- literally. The product’s interconnect wiring system allows for the fixtures to snap together and creates a seamless flow of light under multiple, separate cabinets. The ease of installation is a bonus for both contractors and homeowners, who should see reduced installation time and, therefore, cheaper labor-related costs.

Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, Kichler Design Pro Series is offered in three different outputs, including a 4-watt / 6” length fixture; an 8-watt/ 12” length fixture; and a 12-watt/ 18” length fixture. Finishes include bronze, white and nickel to blend into any surrounding.


Founded in 1938 in Cleveland, Ohio, Kichler is a world leader in decorative lighting designs. Its products include chandeliers, wall sconces, kitchen and bath lighting, decorativeceiling fans and outdoor lanterns, as well as under cabinet lighting, landscape lighting, and floor and table lamps and accessories.
