Gera under-cabinet light

Take a look at the new Gera under-cabinet light – a decorative light with shelf function that was unveiled at this year’s Interzum to great acclaim.

“Our approach of combining the functions of lighting and shelf space is perfect for modern kitchens,” says Thomas Ritt, Gera Leuchten product manager and designer, about the new under-cabinet light.

Gera under-cabinet lightAs functional wall units are increasingly banned from the kitchen and smells and grease are extracted directly at the cooker by means of built-in downdraft extractors, a new place has to be found for the classic under-cabinet lighting previously positioned below wall-mounted cabinets or the cooker hood. “Our new under-cabinet light is designed in a way that makes it possible to position it either directly below a wall-mounted cabinet or, alternatively, wall-mounted in kitchens without wall units, which creates additional storage space in the form of a shelf,” says Thomas Ritt.

The new lighting system emits light upwards and downwards when wall-mounted, and downwards only if it is cabinet-mounted. This new product is a further development of the company’s lighting system 2 and offers flexible design options: the length of the system is fully variable, it is 170mm deep and 60mm high. The lighting system can also be fitted with power points and a USB port, if required. It can also be used in more ways, thanks to optionally available simple wooden frame elements that screw into the groove. Visually, they also perfectly match the streamlined design of the lighting system.

All supply components, i.e. the transformer and the controls, are already integrated into the light. The new system is supplied ready to be connected to a 230V power supply. The under-cabinet light weighs very little and offers both interior designers and also kitchen manufacturers a versatile solution that allows flexible kitchen planning – plus, they can rely on the fact that it is of the same high quality as all Gera Leuchten products.
