Pantries, closets, and storage rooms are typically the darkest areas in any home, yet they are the rooms that would benefit the most from a lighting makeover. Our wide selection of high-quality ceiling lights, microfluorescent fixtures and shelf lighting will provide everything you need to bring light into your closets. For valuable tips view our Closet Lighting Tips video.
A) The LED battery operated ceiling light. It can be mounted virtually anywhere because it does not require wiring. Installation involves simply screwing in a mounting plate to the ceiling. However, remember the LED battery operated ceiling light should only be used in areas where there is no other source of light, as its motion activation feature only works in darkness. All of the microfluorescent fixtures are also extremely easy to install.
Q) Which fixture is recommended for pantry lighting?
A) Any of our microfluorescent fixtures are ideal for pantries. If you install the lights so that they line the door frame, you can illuminate the entire pantry and hide the fixture.
Q) How do I know which microfluorescent fixture to choose?
A) We offer a variety of options. Determine the size of the bulb you prefer first. T5 fixtures, at ⅝ of an inch in diameter, are slightly larger than T4 fixtures, which are ½ an inch. Next, consider how much light you need. We have High Output fixtures, which are the brightest option as they draw more electrical current. We also have twin fixtures, which are composed of two lamps side-by-side. For more information, see our Microfluorescent Light Fixtures FAQs.
Q) What do you recommend for closets and pantries with shelves?
A) Make sure to install some type of under cabinet light if you have opaque shelving units; otherwise, any areas under the shelves will be shadowy and dark. Our LED Under Cabinet Lights are great options because they are extremely energy efficient. If you’re looking for a low-profile fixture and you have an available outlet in your closet, choose the LED Very Thin Light Bars. If you are short on convenient outlets and are looking for the easiest solution, choose the LED Battery Operated Puck Lights.
Q) What type of light switch is best for storage areas?
A) Our Door Jamb Light Switch features automatic activation so there’s no need to turn a switch. When you open the door, the light turns on; when you close the door, the light goes off. Unfortunately, the Door Jamb Light Switch is difficult to install after construction is completed. It is highly recommended for new construction.
