Furniture for kitchen

And on average, how will the doors open if you stick lamps on the bottom of the top?

There the master has thought out the FSE, do not be afraid. There will be some kind of spacer. She, by the way, will prevent the glow "in the eye". And then these are not volumetric lamps, but an LED strip.

Anya, at what height will the lamps be then? Where will they shine - on the work surface or on the top of your head?

This is the moment I am trying to realize. The height of the middle floor is 70cm (+ 55cm from the countertop.) The master suggested this to me, I agreed. But maybe he had embellishment in mind, and the lighting of the workplace should be done additionally. Even at the planning stage, I did not clarify this issue, but now they came close (the boxes were assembled, the facades were almost ordered) - I started thinking closely. We'll discuss it with him again tomorrow. But in general, he usually offers sensible things, I somehow trust him. It happens, of course, that we do not understand each other, but on the whole it is tolerant. And his daughter is a designer, he periodically consults with her.

Middle floor height - 70cm (+ 55cm from the countertop.)

Total: - from the table-top 125cm .... High illumination is obtained. Why is she there? For beauty? For work, do on the countertop.

It seems so planned already. I'm trying to figure out how best to do it. A tape for beauty, and a pipe for work? It seems to be overkill. A tape under the bottom wall cabinet instead of a tube?
I remembered how spotlights had been built into the canopies above the wall cabinets before - the light was at the same height. I didn't have such an option, so I don't know if there is enough light for work or not. I haven’t had anything to do with the tape either - enough light or more for a show-off

A tape for beauty, and a pipe for work?

For beauty, you can sculpt what you want, and where you want ... And for work on the tabletop, you must set it.
What are the lights above the countertop? Too many details you need to know ... What are the profiles for the tape? Where to put the switches? What tape power is desired? etc....

If you want, I will give my son's phone number, he is a good judge in these matters, he will advise you.

I wrote to you in a personal note, but it doesn’t send - the mailbox is full.

Anh, if you do not make light under the lower cabinets, then the light from above will cover only the edge of the countertop, and the space that will remain unlit under the cabinets and plus there will be a constant shadow from the head, because anyway, when we do something, we tilt our head. We know-passed

I have tape under the cabinets. It has been standing for several years, it shines brightly on the table, "eats" minimally, I use it almost constantly (without overhead lighting)
I really like it for work. The required power is calculated using the formula. The furniture maker himself chose me. Firm-model-capacity will not say. The box to which it is connected lies on the upper cabinets, and the cabinets are 5 cm from the ceiling, I cannot look

At my sister's, the lights on the upper cabinets are built into the visor - bullshit. No use, except for beauty. Doesn't include it. under the upper cabinets, above the tabletop, I put such lamps with lighting. Uses only them.

Thank you all, I understood: from above - for beauty, for business - directly above the countertop in any version.

Lyudmila, is the tape in the back, near the wall, or closer to the center of the bottom of the wall cabinet?

Near the wall

Share, who has arranged how the lighting of the work surface under the wall cabinets is arranged?

Anh, I have an LED strip, I already showed it somehow, I'll find it

This is filmed at night in the dark, only the tape is lit. When I cook at night, I turn on only it, I don't need a central light. I like it very much, and very comfortable, and in the corners you can turn as you want. And it is cut to the desired size, and the power supply is small, you can hide it in any cabinet against the wall. I no longer remember how much it cost, for 6 years it has served faithfully

Yes, I probably saw this photo, but I didn't remember whose it was.

[Irina]

Irina, Ira! What a class! and where can such a miracle of lighting be found?

Vikul, in all our large households. magicians for sale.

Irina, Ira! What a class! and where can such a miracle of lighting be found?

Vika, there are a lot of them on Ali. Now there are burning ones, through it you can enter the store and choose to your taste.

They are different, it is better to take them in a silicone shell, after all, the kitchen, water, steam, etc.

it is better to take in a silicone shell,

I somehow did not catch this moment from the Chinese. Do they have special markings? Or how to find out?

Anya, you have to watch. It should be written that it is waterproof.

This one won't fit




You see, there the bulbs seem to stick out.

But this is what you need

Added on Tuesday 27 Sep 2016 12:36 PM

But why do you need Ali? I looked, you can buy from us at the same price, if not cheaper. But you can touch it with your hands, and you can change it during the day, if something goes wrong

[Irina]

Irina, Ir, is there also in Ikea?

I don't know ... I haven't been there for a long time. Vikul, look on the internet, there are a lot of companies that deal with lighting, but do not have an exhibition pavilion. They, for sure, will be cheaper.

It should be written that it is waterproof.

Ah, got it. And as for the price, I compared it on Ali and in Ikea for LED tubes for kitchen lighting. The difference is 10 times. Don't you confuse anything? I'll take a look at Maxidom the other day.

She, Anh, I do not confuse

you look in the internet, there are a lot of companies that deal with lighting, but do not have an exhibition pavilion. They, for sure, will be cheaper.

I looked at Leroy - prices are really of the same order, as far as I understood (a little more expensive with us), you shouldn't mess with Ali. Although I, perhaps, do not grasp some subtleties that cost money.

My kitchen is a year old, an LED strip is made, laid in a groove and covered with a translucent screen. up to the table top 88cm, I have enough light (of course I don't cook in the dark)

But to me such a disguised solution seemed more successful.
Even when I'm sitting on the sofa in the opposite corner, it doesn't hit me in the eye. Yet there is nothing particularly useful in these modern lamps. ((
The light is located, of course, along the near edge - so it is easier to cover it, and shines directly on the working area.

I have such an 8 W lamp under the cabinet above the sink.

Light, but you can see the photo as the lamp is attached. it has been bought since spring, I can't figure out how best to attach it

[Ljna]

Ljna, here's a picture


The sides must be removed from both sides and the lamp is screwed to the shelf with screws. I could not remove the sides now, they have grown over so many years. But it’s hardly any other way.
Or put the lamp on double-sided tape.

I threw the idea to my master - he liked it. And how high is this bar covering the tape?

Added on Tuesday 27 Sep 2016 04:49 PM

lega, you cleaned the drawer badly. I wrote a couple of messages - and the FSE, they won't let me in again. And my thoughts are not all formulated at once, but in waves

We have ordinary lamps, because at that time there were no LEDs in nature.)) Therefore, this plinth is just below the lamp itself. Well, so that the proportions are pleasant to the eye. This is 4.5-5 cm in different kitchens.

More .. Girls, and in which direction do you open the cabinet under the sink, which is with the trash can? Judging by the fact that I poked the master three times that it should open under the right hand (because I am right-handed), but he still missed, piercing the holes for the hinges on the wrong side, I realized that normal people open from left to right ?

in which direction does the cabinet under the sink open, which is with the trash can?

I have this drawer box. Very, very convenient. There are trash cans (pressed with a separator), potatoes and some household chemicals.

[lega]

lega, then, girl, this is not your case.))
The roll-out seemed inconvenient to me - I can pull too often, I've had enough metaboxes, especially when I held the knives in the upper drawer and closed it back and forth every minute - now behind a knife, then behind a spatula, then behind a spoon, but behind a fork, then again for a spoon ... I got good fittings, yeah ...

And I open the door for the trash can with my foot from the bottom.

[Bijou]

Bijou, my trash door opens from right to left. I open it with my left hand and throw it with my right hand.

It opens from left to right, but otherwise it is not convenient for me.

And I open the door for the trash can with my foot from below.

my trash door opens from right to left

I have this drawer box.

hee-hee That's just what I want to say - but I don't have

cabinet under the sink with trash can

as a class does not exist

It opens from right to left. Something did not even think about it, I thought so for everyone. In your right hand you hold what is thrown away, and with your left you open the door ... The master did this himself, did not even ask anything.

The trash door should open to the wall, and in which direction it will open depends on which corner this bedside table is in - in the left or right.
Agree that the left door simply cannot be at the curbstone in the right corner.

[Kalyusya]

Kalyusya, I have a trash door in the corner (corner kitchen), so you could hang the door on both sides. I selected the hinges on the left.

as a class does not exist

Be-be-be!
And we do exist. ((And separate collection of garbage exists - separate organic matter in compost, separate plastic and other inorganic for the garbage truck, separate metal, separate glass ... So it happened.

I was lucky with the master. And now I have two extra drilled holes in the door - you see, he always did that, the hinges on the right.))

[svetta]

svetta, Thank you! now I will sppandor. there are attachments. otherwise I applied it in different ways

I just want to say - but I don't

gyyyyyy
and I have hinged doors under the sink
open with what you like

open with what you like

I press the pedal with my foot, the "sim-sim" opens))) garbage flies there from any hand

Girls, and I liked the LED lamp. What kind of light is better to choose? White, yellow, cold white ...
And what other options are there to hide it? The kitchen is already installed, but the light does not suit.

And what other options are there to hide it?

Svetlan, look where you are in the kitchen more in time, a desktop so that you can see what you are doing, a lack of light is bad, above the stove, provided that there is no light bulb on the hood, I have bulbs in the hood and therefore no additional light is needed ...
Menny generally does not have a chandelier as such in the kitchen area, the kitchen is healthy, 25 squares, divided by a table and a bar type in half, a dining area, there is a chandelier, there are also electric spots above the bar, but we rarely use it. but in the kitchen area there is a lamp under the shelf 1m 25cm and in the hood .. and plus a window .. In general, I have enough, because I don't cook in the evenings ..
And see for yourself what color of light you like best, for the eye and for illumination .. After all, not all colors are suitable for perception. One can hurt the eyes, the other seems to be pleasant, but there is little light from him .. in general, something like that ..

[Galina]

Galina, I need on cabinets so that there is light above the work surface and sink. There are light bulbs in the hood.
And more questions, how to calculate the required power? Looked at Leroy, there are so many options. And turn on, turn off how? Have a button?

[under cabinets]

I need on cabinets so that there is light above the work surface and the sink.

under cabinets then, and not on the cabinets .. I have in one line, a cabinet and a sink under it .. that's just under the cabinet and there is a lamp, hanging more precisely .. full length ..

And more questions, how to calculate the required power? Looked at Leroy, there are so many options. And turn on, turn off how? There is a button

Oh, I won't tell you. My husband is an electrician, I am a complete zero in these matters .. I just point my finger where I should stick something. I don't think that the LED strip consumes a lot, you certainly won't overload the voltage line ..: girl_wink: the machine won't knock out ..
Why don't you want a lamp as long as I showed in the photo?
The LED strip must, of course, somehow turn on and connect somewhere ..

Well, yes, under the cabinets, of course))
Like the ribbon idea, but how do you hide it? Yes, I looked more closely, on / off is attached)

And I think it should be on self-adhesive tape, no? To be honest, I have never seen her in nature .. but I saw only in programs like Fazenda, the apartment question, there such tapes are very popular ..

Why is it necessary to hide it? I just can't understand this moment
Yes, she does not hit in the eyes. There are tiny bulbs. I have a corner kitchen glued to the full length. And even over the stove. Nothing is done to her. This light is enough for me even for cooking in the evening. They took her to me on a simple switch on the wall. And in terms of power, LEDs are the most economical lamps
