Kiiko Explained
Light Colour
Colour temperature is the hue of your light. It’s measured in Kelvin (K) and the higher the Kelvin value of the light source, the closer the light’s color will be to sunlight.
Whilst it does come down to personal preference, we recommend:
Warm white for bedrooms, lounge rooms or anywhere you want to create a feeling of intimacy or cosiness.
Natural white is Fantastic for task lighting and kitchens where you want to see objects in a more natural tone.
Wattage
When deciding which wattage to specify, it is important to consider how you will be using your linear lighting. If you have pre-existing lighting in the area from downlights, you may choose to use your linear lighting as a decorative feature, where 4.8w/m or 9.6 w/m will suit perfectly. However, if linear lighting is your primary light source in the area, you may opt for 14.4w/m to effectively illuminate the space.
Recessed VS Surface Mount
Our surface mounted profiles will sit on top of your cabinet, wall, ceiling, shelf, stairs (really we could go on, the possibilities are endless). This means you will see the sides of the profile. Our kiiko low is the narrowest surface mounted profile if you wish to reduce the side depth.
Our recessed profiles sit flush with your surface, meaning you won’t see the profile, only the light itself. However to achieve this look you will need to cut or allow for a cavity to slide the profile into.
