Illumination for Kitchen
Are you planning a brand-new kitchen or is your kitchen in need of a (minor or major) upgrade? Then remember to consider lighting, preferably from the very beginning of the process. Transform your kitchen into a living space with our extensive selection of lights designed to provide the perfect light for any purpose. Whether you want a private food workshop with references to a professional kitchen, a modern and exclusive conversation kitchen or a cosy wooden country-style kitchen, LIGHT-POINT has the perfect lighting solutions for your kitchen. All you have to do is choose your favourites.
EDGE pendant
EDGE LINEAR offers general lighting for specific areas, creating a sense of balance and harmony in the room—perfect for illuminating your kitchen island. Choose the brass finish to add a warm and welcoming touch to your kitchen.
ZERO pendant
The stylish ZERO provides diffuse lighting down below, making it well-suited to illuminating a table or sideboard. This light can also be hung in rows or clusters to create the illusion of an elegant, modern chandelier.
SLIM pendant
SLIM is a discreet and effective light source for dining and kitchen tables. The fixture gives the impression of an almost invisible stroke in the air, recalling a trapeze as it hangs above a table, suspended by fabric-covered wires.
Create the perfect kitchen with the right lighting
A kitchen isn't just a kitchen. It's community and family life. It's a space for culinary joy, for all the everyday moments, for celebrations, and for "social dining" with friends and neighbours. It's the heart of the home, where we gather and connect. It's in the kitchen where our day begins and springs from, where we settle during the day, and often where we also end, closing up before bedtime. Therefore, we use the kitchen both in the morning, at noon, and in the evening, not just for cooking. That's why the lighting needs to serve multiple needs and purposes.
The most important thing is to create a space that feels cosy. The cold, impersonal kitchens are a thing of the past. Previously, there was status and prestige in large, beautiful kitchens that many hardly used. Today, the spirit of the times is different - today, there's status in actually using our kitchens. It should have a soul and be like one big lively pantry, a food laboratory where we bring nature and greenery in the form of herbs, fruits, and vegetables, as well as visible storage of ingredients, preserving jars, etc. The kitchen should embrace us, and the right kitchen lighting helps immensely with that.

Get inspired by functional and aesthetic kitchen lighting
Lamps should be functional, primarily meeting a practical need for light, but they are much more than that. They are also style markers and design statements. And perhaps most importantly: mood, atmosphere, well-being, and emotions. All of this is united and reflected in LIGHT-POINT's extensive and award-winning lighting portfolio. You can find inspiration for the perfect lighting for your kitchen in our timeless and ultramodern collection of minimalist and striking lamps. Here, you can choose from stylish, sculptural, sophisticated, stylistic, and significant models - our lamps are like one big family. Different, but with the same DNA and design language. It's no-nonsense design that balances between the ultimate form and innovative technology, and you can advantageously choose several different models for the various zones of the kitchen. There's an aesthetic link between our lamps, so they complement each other, creating a total experience of light and well-being together.
General lighting - kitchen lights that complement the style of your kitchen
A kitchen is often divided into different functional zones, one zone for cooking and one for dining. There may also be a zone for relaxation and cosiness. For each of these zones, it is important to choose the right kitchen lighting. We need good task lighting to prepare and cook our food, and lighting that sets the scene for both everyday meals and lovely dinners with family and friends.
It's important to have overall lighting in the kitchen, typically from ceiling-mounted luminaires or recessed spotlights that illuminate the entire room evenly. Ceiling-mounted pendants are also good choices as they spread the light effectively. General kitchen lighting on the ceilingcreates balance and harmony in the room, especially if you combine it with decorative wall lamps that can both brighten up your corners and add personality to your kitchen.
INLAY S pendant
The INLAY collection is precise and sleek, a product of countless hours dedicated to refining every single detail. INLAY S LINEAR form casts an even light across the entire length of the lamp, making it as functional as it is aesthetically superior.
AURA pendant
The AURA pendant is perfect to hang above your dining table. The design is based on the principles of the International style of architecture, combining clean lines with technical precision. The AURA collection includes wall sconces and spotlights.
EDGE pendant
EDGE is a cutting-edge collection of pendants with edge and character, offering the ideal illumination for your kitchen. Easily control the light's intensity and colour temperature using the built-in SMART TUNE feature, powered by Casambi.
The right task lighting in the kitchen
Having good lighting in the kitchen is important so you can see what you're doing while cooking. Ensure good glare-free light for the work areas, such as over your kitchen island. Here, you can choose a long, linear pendant that provides even light distribution over the surface, or use multiple pendants so you can direct the light towards specific areas, such as your kitchen sink. Here you might consider models like EDGE.
The cooking area requires lamps that not only illuminate but also reduce shadows, and above all, ensure a safe working environment. Recessed spots or adjustable fixtures over the stove provide direct lighting and help create a safer workspace. For example, FOCUS and OPTIC.
When you need to focus on the cutting board or on the small details of the dishes, consider one or more flexible wall lamps on your kitchen walls. This allows you to target the light very precisely where you need it. For example, ORBIT. Additionally, there should be a matte and warm light that provides good colour rendering on the food you're working with.
The lamps above the kitchen table should ideally hang 75-80 cm above the surface, so the light spreads more evenly.
Find inspiration for a dining table lamp that creates the perfect light over your dining table
At LIGHT-POINT, you can explore dining table lamp ideas to find the ideal fixture for your dining area. The dining table holds a special place in every home, whether it's situated in an eat-in kitchen, a kitchen-dining room combo, or the living room. It's where we gather to eat, chat, sip coffee, do homework, work on laptops, and read the newspaper. When selecting your lighting, it's important to consider the relationship between the table and the lamp. Therefore, understanding the type of table you have is crucial before selecting a lamp. Is your dining table rectangular or round, large or small? You'll want to choose lighting that complements both its shape and size.
Additionally, consider the distance between the table and the lighting to ensure the table is adequately illuminated without causing glare for you or your guests. A lamp that hangs too low can be dazzling, while one that's too high may cast dark shadows, making it difficult to see. The right lighting above the dining table is essential for both functionality and ambience. It should be practical while also creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. As a general guideline, lamps should hang 60-75 cm above the dining table. An elegant pendant light is an excellent choice for illuminating the dining area, such as the EDGE ROUND, for example.
ORBIT wall lamp
Illuminate your kitchen with the ORBIT wall lamp, designed to brighten up workspaces and corners while adding personality to your space. Available in a variety of colours and materials, it's perfect for complementing any style you choose.
FOCUS spotlight
This aluminium LED spotlight expresses the clean lines that Ronni Gol is known for. The spot can be rotated 350 degrees and is perfect for the kitchen, where it can be used as ceiling lighting and to provide focused light to work areas.
SERIOUS wall lamp
The aesthetic SERIOUS is ready to illuminate any kitchen. The surface mount creates a 3D appearance, and the rounded lines create opportunities to let the light fall from above or from below, depending on the desired effect.
Ceiling, pendant, spot, wall or table lamp? LIGHT-POINT's expert offers advice.
There are many considerations and reflections when it comes to arranging with light. Our lighting expert, Majken Øberg, advises a wide range of private clients who are furnishing their dream kitchens. She always recommends that you, first and foremost, consider your needs, habits, and routines. Do you enjoy big culinary experiments, or do you prefer simpler meal kits or takeaways more often? This is crucial in determining how much task lighting you should have. You should also consider the space and the kitchen itself. Which lamps match? And, of course, you should also consider the design of the lamps. Do you prefer something distinct or discreet? Nonchalant or straightforward? LIGHT-POINT's lamps are distinctive, charismatic, and razor-sharp, allowing you to easily find a lamp that adds something special to the kitchen. Something with attitude. If you appreciate architectural and graphically strong elements but don't want lamps that make a big statement, then our lamps are perfect for you.
There are no rules for lighting in the kitchen, so it's all about individual taste and lifestyle. Most of us would agree that most parties and gatherings end up in the kitchen, so make sure to have cosy lighting. This is also true if you have a couple of bar stools on the kitchen island and enjoy sitting with a glass of wine in hand and chatting. Therefore, it's essential that the lighting is dimmable. You can use LIGHT-POINT's SMART TUNE powered by Casambi to control the light with your smartphone. With the CASAMBI app, you can turn the lamp on and off, dim the light, or adjust the colour temperature. The app is simple and straightforward to use, giving you intelligent and modern lighting control at your fingertips.
Our latest pendants from the EDGE, AURA, and ORBIT collections feature integrated Casambi, offering you a unique opportunity to play with light. With LIGHT-POINT SMART TUNE, you have full control over your lamps, and you can control multiple lamps simultaneously by connecting your SMART TUNE lamps throughout your home. Especially in the kitchen, this technology is optimal. The color temperature can be adjusted according to your needs - use cooler tones when you need to concentrate during the day and warmer tones in the late evening hours.
For example, select:
FOCUS ceiling light: This aluminium LED spotlight expresses the clean lines that Ronni Gol is known for. The spot can be rotated 350 degrees and is perfect for the kitchen, where it can be used as ceiling lighting and to provide focused light to work areas.
SLIM pendant light: SLIM is an elegant, discreet and efficient light source for the dining and kitchen table. The luminaire appears as an almost invisible line in the air, reminiscent of a trapezoid as it hovers above the table, held up by two thin fabric cords.
SERIOUS wall light: Any kitchen can be illuminated with the aesthetic SERIOUS. Its surface mount gives it a 3-dimensional look and its rounded lines allow the light to fall from above or below, depending on the effect you want.
