More lighting fun with Kichler's Design Pro LEDs
Last January, I wrote two posts introducing Kichler's Design Pro LED lighting. You can read them here and here . Back then, the Pro series had to two models of under cabinet lighting. What's really interesting about Kichler's Design Pro LED lighting series is that the warm, white light they produce is similar to the light produced by an incandescent bulb. The similarities stop there though. The LEDs used in Kichler's Design Pro lights uses 75% less electricity and each bulb is rated with a 40,000 hour lifespan. That's 20 years. The energy and replacement light bulb savings over the course of 20 years makes the initial cost of LED lights a bargain.
Kichler just introduced onto the Design Pro series inside the form of those rail lights.
The first is a present day, city four-mild rail. It's to be had in a brushed nickel end with a white glass coloration. Each mild along the rail swivels independently.
And the second is a greater transitional 4-light rail. It's available in the brushed nickel end with white glass as well as in an Olde Bronze end with a light umber glass colour. As with its extra contemporary cousin, every mild swivels independently in this fixture.
Here's the more modern rail in a bathroom, and you can see the independent swiveling in action. That these lights can be positioned independently is the key feature here. This means that you can use the rail fixtures above an island with the shades positioned for reading the newspaper, or in the kitchen, trained toward a counter for food preparation. Each shade swivels 90 degrees and rotates up to 359 degrees. Each model has the same dimensions, 42-and-a-half inches in length, four-and-a-half inches in width and nine inches in height. These are substantial fixtures that when when placed properly, will provide years of proper lighting.
These are great features and that's a huge amount of light coming out of an LED. Kichler is really onto something with this Pro series. These lights are available at independent lighting showrooms and you can learn more about them on Kichler's website .
Rachele from The Conscious Kitchen installed Kichler's Design Pro LED under cabinet lights in her recent and beautiful kitchen renovation. I wonder what it would take to get her to weigh in with an opinion about them... Rachele?
