Under-cabinet lights are typically affixed to mounts that are drilled into the cabinet using screws. Cable staples are used to secure the cords in place. Alternatively, tape lights can be attached directly to the underside of the cabinet using adhesive. These installation methods provide secure and versatile—and potentially removable—options for illuminating your kitchen space.

Whether it's a style overhaul, a home revamp, or a change of scenery, removing a chandelier often comes with challenges. The complexity lies in the tricky installation of these fixtures. Delicate crystals, intricate frames, and the elevated placement of chandeliers make this removal one that requires finesse. Striking the right balance between aesthetics and practicality and ensuring electrical safety during the process adds difficulty to an otherwise straightforward task.

When determining how far apart your can lights should be, the rule of thumb is to divide the height of the ceiling by two. The resulting number is how far apart your lights should be. For example, if your ceiling is 10 feet high, your lights should have five feet between them. 

There are four main types of lighting used in homes: ambient, task, accent, and decorative. Within these categories, there are a number of fixtures to choose from including ceiling-mounted lights, floor lamps, under-cabinet lights, track lighting, and more. 

Choosing the fixture that’s right for you depends on your home design and the area you’re looking to illuminate.
