Cabinetry Lighting Guidelines
Cove Lighting
Over Cabinets
Trac12
® , using 10-watt lampsspaced 6" on center, generally provides
excellent indirect lighting. For lower-level
mood lighting, use 3-watt or 5-watt lamps
with slightly closer spacing. Placing the
fixture at the front edge of the cabinet top
will project light into the space and illuminate
any displayed objects. Locate top of lamp
even with top edge of cove molding to
prevent a harsh shadow line.
Inside Cabinets
Running Trac 12
® vertical onthe front inside of cabinets avoids the need
to put trac on each shelf. 3-watt Xenon
lamps 3" on center will generally provide
adequate lighting inside a cabinet.
Under Cabinets
Placing Juno Trac12
® at thefront lip of the cabinet conceals the fixture
from view, minimizes veiling reflections, and
provides maximum light on the working area
of the countertop. Footcandles on Horizontal Work Surface

Kick Spaces
3-watt Xenon lamps spaced on 4" centers provide adequate kick space
lighting. Wider spacings can be used whenthe distance from trac to floor is greater than4" or when even illumination is not required.
NOTE : Shiny flooring or countertops may cause lamp image reflections. Footcandles on Horizontal and Vertical Planes
