Kichler Introduces Kichler Lighting
Systems, Presents LED Cabinet Solutions New brand extension offers energy-savings within line of cabinet,
linear, task and mood lighting
CLEVELAND—Feb. 6, 2008—Kichler Lighting is proud to announce an extension of its brand,
aimed to provide interior designers, builders, contractors, and ultimately, homeowners, a one-stop
shop for their in-home
task and mood lighting needs. Kichler Lighting Systems will offer the
same quality and versatility synonymous with the company’s collection of
cabinet,
linear, task and mood lighting, coupled with new
product innovation. The brand debuts with a new line of energy efficient, LED cabinet lighting,
featuring the slimmest under cabinet profile in the industry.
“Our new identity is a natural evolution of our current light layering products and speaks
to our commitment in this category,” said Jim Jones, Kichler product manager. “With this latest
product expansion, Kichler will offer a more complete selection of systems-related products, which
will provide professionals and homeowners with products they want and need, all backed with an ease
of installation.”
Going Green with Design Pro Series The new,
Kichler Design Pro Series utilizes long-lasting, energy-efficient LED
lighting within its modular cabinet lighting fixtures, providing 40,000 hours, and in many cases,
more than 20 years life. The product’s LED light source offers safe, cool light in a warm white
color rendering (at 3000 degrees Kelvin), which means no more blue hues.
Beyond its extended lifespan and energy savings features, the new Kichler Design Pro Series
also offers the smallest profile in the industry at half an inch, enabling the most discriminating
homeowner to work with any cabinet size or configuration. Plus, its interconnect wiring system
allows for the fixtures to snap together and creates a seamless flow of light under multiple,
separate cabinets. An optional night light accessory includes a 1-watt chip with an automatic start
that can be installed to control an entire cabinet system or one designated area.
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.
