Cooking Up a Treat

The purpose of today's kitchen is not just a place to cook - it is a place to eat, entertain and relax and therefore kitchen lighting is becoming more and more decorative.

LEDs are being used more and more in kitchens as clients wish to reduce their energy consumption. They are already being used under cabinets to give a floating effect and as replacements for halogen spotlights.

Now Bath-based lighting designer Chaos Design Consultants has combined the decorative and the practical in the one new product - an illuminated colour-changing splashback.

The splashback is made up of a panel of special light emitting acrylic, which is set behind a glass panel, and the illuminated colour-changing effect is produced by using an RGB LED colour-changing array.

The panel can be set to just one colour, can scroll through the whole spectrum of colours, or can be set to white for specific task lighting and as there is a glass panel on the front of it, cleaning is not a problem. The control of the panel can also be linked into a Lutron system if required.

This new splashback is suitable for both contemporary and traditional kitchens and certainly creates the ‘wow’ factor that will be impress friends and neighbours.
