According to the latest research, LED strips in both rigid and aluminiumLEDS-R-US, a subsidiary of Eco Living Centre , offers the home renovator, providing a long lasting and low energy use globe. Usually, LED lighting generates very little heat, has a small footprint, and has a variety of colour options. The added benefit is their long life >50,000 hours or 6.2 years of 24/7 operation and low power consumption.
In general, white light offers more design choices, from cool white (5,000K+), natural white (4-5000K), or warm white (3,500K). Why should this matter? During day time the brighter daylight with a Kelvin of 5,000K+ is easier to see and represents daylight from early morning to mid-afternoon. But then sunlight changes and the warmer, more yellow, light looks and feels more natural. LEDs provide the benefit of a more natural light reflecting changes from bluer light in the morning to warmer light as the day proceeds. Typically cooking is more an evening activity, and thus warm light feels more natural. However, LED's another advantage, that of colour. For those special occasions the light can be changed by switching on another circuit or by remote control. This can be simply achieved with the right sort of LED, and more are coming on to the market all the time.
In a word, the scope is for renovators and designers to embrace the new technology as it offers more scope to add a more dramatic approach to kitchen design, better reflecting their needs and giving them options to change the mood to suit their life-style.
