A close-up split comparison of kitchen under-cabinet lighting. The left half shows a kitchen countertop without under-cabinet lights — dim, flat, and unremarkable. The right half shows the exact same countertop with warm LED under-cabinet strip lights glowing, illuminating the backsplash and countertop beautifully. The image is tightly zoomed in on the counter and cabinets, showing the dramatic difference in warmth, brightness, and ambiance. Bright, well-lit overall photo with rich warm tones on the lit side.
