Show us your finished countertop lighting.

We are remodeling our kitchen and can't decide. I like the Ikea kitchen Irsta the best. However, I find it quite expensive, especially since I don't need the Tradfri stuff. Spots are out of the question; it should ideally produce a homogeneous light without individual light points.

Otherwise, there are considerations to convert other LED panels or install an LED strip in a profile on the wall.

Of course, you can google all sorts of things. But who wants to show their real pictures of the countertop lighting?

Another question would be: Is tunable white necessary as countertop lighting, or is one color temperature enough? Then we would most likely go with warm white.

What is above the countertop? Wall cabinets or nothing? I am a big fan of simplification and offer the seventeen euro solution with GU10 spotlights

Looks good and fits the concept. Yes, we do have wall cabinets, that's the point (we have a small kitchen, so they have to be there). Lighting of the countertop from the underside of the wall cabinets.

Had in the previous apartment: aluminum angle from the hardware store as glare protection, behind it this LED strip material. Both full width. Nice and delicate, you really have to look for it against the green wall

We have no kitchen wall cabinets but have implemented the lighting with 24-volt MR16 modules with a 60-degree beam angle. I am satisfied, but they do hang a bit higher than the typical wall cabinets.

Above the peninsula, there are two 24V LED spots in the ceiling, the light cones overlap. Controlled by motion detectors. On the opposite row, there are wall cabinets, underneath a 45-degree profile with LED strip for illuminating the sink and access point, also controlled by the motion detector. I would choose the light color analogous to the rest of the color in the room. Although in work areas warm white is not the right choice according to the textbook, I think you can keep things simple and rather focus on a uniform color in the room. Tunable white is, in my opinion, just a gimmick like RGB. At first it’s quite fun, but in everyday life you never go back to it.
