Lighting Cabinets & Closets with LED

Even before Congress passed energy efficient standards for lights, LED bulbs were making headway in use for cabinets, furniture, casegoods and home organization products due to their longer service life and low heat generation. Available in a variety of colors and configurations, LEDs can be coordinated with any room or location to provide a stylish, yet functional environment.

What follows are some of the LED products available for use in residential, commercial and workplace applications. For additional lighting suppliers, visit the Components, Hardware & Assembly chapter at RedBookOnline.com.

Häfele America’s line of Loox Lithium Rechargeable Battery Lights is available in three different versions: round, rectangle and tube. The round and rectangle versions come with a built in motion detector so the lights turn on and off automatically. The tube version is designed for drawers and has an automatic sensor, which turns it on when the drawer is open and off when closed. (800) 423-3531, Hafele.com/us
