Modern kitchen lighting: exclusive lighting concepts for worktops, cooking islands and counters
Lighting design for the kitchen: where culinary art meets first-class design
Today, the kitchen is much more than just a place to cook – it is the heart of your home, a place for family, guests and quality of life.
Truly well-designed kitchen lighting must therefore perfectly combine two worlds: first-class, bright working light for maximum precision and atmospheric ambient light that emphasises the architecture of your kitchen.
At Kent Leuchten, we offer not only high-quality designer lighting, but also comprehensive solutions. Whether you want to illuminate a cooking island, showcase your kitchen counter or put the entire lighting design of your kitchen in professional hands – we ensure that technology and aesthetics go hand in hand.
The zones of the kitchen: perfect lighting for every task
Shadow-free working light for the kitchenette
Safety is paramount at the worktop. Here you need focused light without distracting shadows.
Our solution: with powerful LED recessed spotlights or flat under-cabinet profiles, we guarantee uniform illumination. Thanks to a high colour rendering index (CRI >90), food appears as fresh and natural as it is under our lighting.
The cooking island & kitchen counter: the social highlight
Here, lighting can be emotional. The kitchen island and counter often form the visual centrepiece of the room.
Pendant lights & design statements: Our handmade lights (e.g. from Atelier Robotiq) above the kitchen island make a clear statement.
Magnetic rail systems: For maximum flexibility at the bar, our magnetic systems allow spotlights to be aligned with pinpoint accuracy – ideal when the bar is used sometimes as a work surface and sometimes as a bar.
Our exclusive service: professional lighting and luminaire planning
A perfect lighting concept does not happen by chance. It is the result of experience and technical expertise. Many customers face the following challenges:
- How many spotlights do I need?
- Where is the ideal place for the pendant light?
- How can I avoid glare?
This is where our lighting and luminaire planning comes in:
Individual consultation: We analyse your floor plan and kitchen design.
Needs analysis: We determine the optimal lux value for your work areas and the appropriate colour temperature for your ambience.
Technical integration: We advise you on control via smart home systems (Casambi, DALI, Zigbee) so that you can conveniently regulate your lighting via app or voice command.
Avoid planning mistakes and rely on a concept that is tailored precisely to your needs.
FAQ – Expert advice for your kitchen lighting
How high should pendant lights hang above the kitchen island or counter?
Wir empfehlen einen Abstand von ca. 60 bis 80 cm zwischen der Arbeitsplatte und der Unterkante der Leuchte. So bleibt die Sichtachse frei, und Sie werden beim Arbeiten oder Unterhalten nicht geblendet.
Which light colour (Kelvin) is ideal for the kitchen?
Für die Arbeitsbereiche empfehlen wir Neutralweiß (4000K), da dies die Konzentration fördert. Über der Kochinsel oder Theke ist Warmweiß (3000K) ideal, um eine gemütliche Atmosphäre zu schaffen. Unsere Planung hilft Ihnen, diese Bereiche harmonisch abzustimmen.
Can I retrofit smart home lighting in my kitchen?
Absolut! Viele unserer Systeme sind Smart-Home-ready. Mit einer Funksteuerung (z. B. Casambi) können Sie auch ohne neue Kabelverlegung komplexe Lichtszenarien erstellen und Ihre Küche dimmbar machen.
