Cabinet display lighting covers a vast range of applications from kitchen cabinets to utility lighting within a workshop cabinet. One of the main uses of cabinet display lighting is within the retail sector where a well presented display of products can pay dividends. Perfumes, tools, pottery, ornaments, artwork and jewellery are just a few of the products that one might use cabinet display lighting to show case. Cabinet display lighting varies considerably in function and also in purpose, the type of light also plays an important part in any display.

LED, halogen, fluorescent, metal halide and mercury vapour are the main types used today. The types of light used in cabinet display lighting serve different purposes and varied appearance. Whilst a multiple LED unit consumes a low amount of energy, it lacks the punch of a metal halide or halogen. This has to be considered and the type of display will ultimately decide the lamp type used.

Whilst integrated units look neat and tidy, there may be restrictions on the angle of light that can be achieved. Spot lights and manoeuvrable fixtures can be used to create different effects within the display cabinet that best suit the product.
