Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between accent lighting and task lighting?

  As a residential electrician, we often get this question from homeowners planning lighting upgrades. While both types serve a purpose, they’re quite different.

  • Accent lighting highlights specific areas, like artwork, architectural features, or decorative shelving. It’s about visual interest and ambiance.
  • Task lighting focuses on functionality. Consider lighting above a kitchen counter or a reading nook—any area where better visibility is needed to complete a task.

  A residential electrical contractor like Daven Electric Corp. helps you strike the right balance. Accent lighting sets the mood, while task lighting ensures safety and clarity. For the best results, many homes combine both.

  Need help deciding where each makes the most sense? We’ll assess your space, goals, and use of each area. Whether you’re remodeling your kitchen or updating a home office, our licensed team makes sure your lighting design is as smart as it is stylish.

• What is accent lighting vs ambient lighting?

  Accent and ambient lighting serve different roles, and as a residential electrical contractor, we ensure homeowners know the difference before installation.

  • Accent lighting draws attention to specific features, such as a textured wall, cabinetry, or art piece. It adds depth and style to your space.
  • Ambient lighting is the overall general light in a room. It fills the space evenly and ensures basic visibility.

  Here’s a quick comparison:

  Accent Lighting

  • Directional
  • Focused on décor or design features
  • Usually brighter in a specific area.

  Ambient Lighting

  • Diffused
  • Covers wide areas evenly
  • Acts as your room’s main lighting source

  At Daven Electric Corp., our residential electrician works closely with interior designers and homeowners to design a lighting plan that includes both. Accent lighting personalizes a space, while ambient lighting makes it livable.

• What are the benefits of accent lighting?

  Accent lighting is more than just a nice touch—it’s a smart design element. As a residential electrician, we’ve installed custom accent setups throughout New York City, and here’s why so many clients love them:

  • Highlights architectural features (fireplaces, built-ins, textured walls)
  • Creates depth and warmth without overwhelming brightness
  • Improves mood and ambiance in living areas and bedrooms
  • Showcases collections like books, art, or decorative items
  • Boosts resale value by enhancing home aesthetics

  Working with a licensed residential electrical contractor ensures the lighting is safe, code-compliant, and tailored to your space. At Daven Electric Corp., we offer a variety of options, such as LED recessed lights, wall-mounted fixtures, and under-cabinet accents—perfect for kitchens, living rooms, or hallways.

  Accent lighting is also energy-efficient when installed properly. Looking for advice? Our team can help you pick the right fixture and location for maximum effect.

• What is the best option for under cabinet lighting?

  The best under cabinet lighting depends on your space, layout, and lighting goals. As a residential electrical contractor, we typically recommend LED strip lighting for most kitchens due to its energy efficiency and clean look. But here’s a breakdown:

  LED Strip Lights

  • Sleek and flexible
  • Great for continuous, even light
  • Dimmable and smart-home compatible

  Puck Lights

  • Bright, focused light
  • Good for highlighting specific areas
  • Available in halogen or LED

  Linear Fluorescent Fixtures

  • Cost-effective for large spaces
  • Good for garages or workrooms

  As your residential electrician, we help you weigh your options, wiring needs, and desired brightness. We also factor in cabinet depth, backsplash type, and whether you want your lights hardwired or plug-in.

  Daven Electric Corp. ensures every installation is safe, polished, and customized to your home’s design.

• What is the average price of under cabinet lighting?

  The price of under cabinet lighting varies based on the type of fixture, installation complexity, and size of your kitchen or workspace. As a residential electrician, we’ve installed hundreds of systems and here’s what to expect:

  • LED Strip Lighting: $30–$70 per linear foot (including installation)
  • Puck Lights: $25–$50 per light (plus wiring costs)
  • Hardwired Installations: $200–$500+ depending on labor and wiring access
  • Plug-in Options: Lower cost, usually $20–$100 (DIY friendly)

  Keep in mind:

  • Smart system integration or dimmable features can add to the total
  • Older homes may require updated wiring or additional junction boxes
  • Custom lighting layouts may include more labor

  At Daven Electric Corp., your residential electrical contractor, we offer transparent pricing and honest recommendations. Our team walks you through options and ensures your budget matches the result—safe, stylish, and long-lasting under cabinet lighting for your home.
