Cabinet and Furniture LED Lighting for Custom Millwork
Cabinet and furniture LED lighting looks best when you never see the source, only the glow it throws on a shelf, a reveal, or the floor under a toe space. The trick with custom cabinets, furniture, and millwork is to hide a thin strip inside a reveal or channel, aim it at the surface you want lit, and manage the heat that builds up inside an enclosed piece. Done well, a bookcase or a floating vanity looks lit from within, with no visible tape and no glare in your eye.
What cabinet and furniture LED lighting needs to do
A narrow strip fits where a bulky fixture never could: a half-inch reveal under a shelf, the underside of a cabinet, the recess behind a kick board. A COB strip gives a continuous line of light rather than a row of dots, which reads cleaner along a shelf edge or a reveal you can partly see into. For most cabinet and furniture accents you want a low to medium output, since the strip usually sits close to the surface it lights. One suitable option for low-output built-in accents is the LEDClub 24V COB 200 Series low brightness strip. Check its width, watts per foot, and cut interval on the product page (verify before you rely on them) so it fits the reveal you have. Whether COB or another format suits a spot depends on output, viewing distance, channel depth, diffuser, LED density, and control options, so judge it per product, and compare options in the LED strip lights collection.
