Kitchen Lighting Installation
Lighting is the most underestimated element of a kitchen remodel. The same kitchen can feel dark and dated with bad lighting, or bright, modern, and high-end with a thoughtful lighting upgrade.
Salem Home Improvement installs kitchen lighting throughout Glassboro and South Jersey recessed lighting, under-cabinet LED strips, pendant lights, and full lighting plan upgrades as part of a kitchen remodel or as a standalone project.

Kitchen Lighting Types We Install
Recessed Lighting (Can Lights)
Recessed lighting is the foundation of a well-lit kitchen. We install LED recessed lights (typically 4-inch or 6-inch) in a grid pattern across the kitchen ceiling, replacing old fluorescent fixtures or upgrading from a single overhead light. LED recessed lights are dimmable, long-lasting, and energy efficient.
Under-Cabinet LED Lighting
Under-cabinet lighting illuminates your countertops directly — eliminating the shadows cast by upper cabinets. We install hardwired LED strips or puck lights under upper cabinets, with switch or dimmer control. This is one of the most impactful, lowest-cost kitchen upgrades available.
Flush-Mount & Semi-Flush Ceiling Fixtures
For kitchens without the ceiling height for recessed lighting, we install modern flush-mount LED fixtures that provide even, bright light without the dated look of old fluorescent fixtures.
Pendant Lights Over an Island or Peninsula
Pendant lights over a kitchen island or peninsula add both task lighting and visual personality. We install pendant lights as part of kitchen remodels, including running new electrical if needed for proper placement.
Kitchen Lighting Layers
A well-designed kitchen has three lighting layers:
- Ambient (general): Recessed lights or ceiling fixtures that illuminate the entire room
- Task: Under-cabinet lights that illuminate countertops for food prep
- Accent/Decorative: Pendants, toe-kick lighting, or display lighting for visual interest
We help you plan all three during your free estimate consultation.
