2 Lighting and Kitchens Today s kitchen is the main gathering point of the home where attention to detail is more important than ever. Glass front doors and accent lighting have become popular options that homeowners desire for their kitchen. See how a new and unique method of lighting can enhance the appearance and value of your cabinetry.

3 A brilliant way to illuminate your cabinets Peter Meier, Inc. introduces a new concept in cabinet lighting LED lighting that is built into the cabinet structure. Up and down facing light that spreads across a large area for total coverage. A true value-added option.

4 What makes Total Light unique? High output LED strips rated at 3 watts per foot bathe the cabinet interior with a natural daylight color. Serviceable light fixtures are concealed behind the horizontal cabinet components. Brightness can be adjusted by fixed or remote controlled dimmers to create the right atmosphere.

5 Top units light the upper space and project above the cabinet. Lighting on every level Illuminated shelves flood the center area. Bottom units light the lower space as well as the counter below.

7 The glare from conventional lights can be seen from a seated position in the room. Bright glare is eliminated Since Total Light is concealed and projects towards the back there is no offensive glare.

8 Quick facts of the Total Light system 1. Total Light units consist of a wood frame with an acrylic insert and an extruded aluminum light bar housing LED strips rated at 3 watts per foot. 2. The units are intended for new cabinets not as a retrofit to existing cabinetry. The exception being the adjustable shelves which can be added to cabinets or furniture. 3. All units are custom made-to-order. 4. Versions are available for face frame or frameless cabinetry in stock wood species of maple, cherry and red oak. 5. The lights operate on 12 volt DC power supplied by a plugin transformer therefore it s possible that an electrician may not be required to wire the cabinets.
