Planning Separate Lighting Zones in a Kitchen

Featured Replies

Hi all,

When planning lighting for a kitchen, do you normally put the ceiling lights, under-cabinet lights and island lighting on separate switches?

It seems separate circuits or switching can make the room more practical, especially when you want brighter light for food preparation but a softer setting in the evening.

I’m interested in how people usually plan the switching and wiring for these different lighting zones, and whether there are any common things worth considering before the kitchen is fitted.

What approach has worked well for you?
