love the countertop.What is it? »
· Comment · 9 months ago
Palmer Todd The countertop is a quartz surface. The cabinetry has a stainless steel channel at the top of it which is what you are seeing from this vantage point. I hope that helps!

Recessed Metal Edging - Love this option for metal edging. Any ideas for the DIYer to recreate this look. I'm planning to build my own countertop and would love to use this design idea to blend my existing stainless counter with my new countertop creation. »

Palmer Todd Unfortunately, I don't have a suggestion for countertop DIY. The stainless steel channel is actually a part of the cabinetry carcass. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Can someone Please tell the exact Can lighting this is? - color is white I know, LED dimmable I assume, color temperature (not sure what that is) And inside color- chrome, white? »

Media Decor Very hard to tell. Finire recessed lighting fixtures are LED dimmable, have variable color temperature, and many finish options.

What temperature are the LEDs in this kitchen? »
· Comment · 17 months ago
EnvironmentalLights.com The color temperature is the degree of warmness or coolness of a light source, measured in kelvins (°K). Lower temperature colors of light appear yellowish, also called warm white (2,700°K) or soft white (3,000°K). Higher temperatures appear more bluish and are called neutral white (4,000°K) or daylight white (6,500°K).

I would say t that these lights are most likely soft white (3,000°K), which gives the room a soft, inviting glow.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
This kitchen gets it right. It has the perfect amount of layered light over the island, as general overhead light and for task lighting under cabinets. Mistake 1. Installing recessed downlights everywhere. This is one of the most common errors that lighting design professionals see. Builder spec versions of can lights can be very inexpensive, and people often assume that laying them out in a regular grid gets light everywhere. Unfortunately, this is not so. The optics of inexpensive can lights often allow only slightly more than half the lumen output of the lamp to escape. In addition, can lights, unless they are adjustable or wall wash fixtures, typically don't put sufficient light on vertical surfaces, which is where the eye perceives light. With an array of cans, we might waste nearly half our watts and still have a space that feels like a cave because the walls are dark.
added by Jamie Gold, CKD, CAPS to 12 Ways to Light Your Kitchen With LEDs
Recessed ceiling lights are a primary source of room illumination in many kitchens. Traditionally, they've used halogen or other incandescent sources. New remodeling kits let you replace those fixtures easily and more affordably with long-lasting, energy-saving LEDs. Another benefit: If your ceilings are high, you may not ever have to drag out the ladder again to change a bulb: LEDs can last up to 20 years.

LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, are energy-saving light sources that last for years and offer tremendous flexibility for your design project. They can be used for task lighting, general room lighting and accent lighting. Here are some sensible-style ways to incorporate them into your kitchen.
