LED lighting in kitchen countertops

Countertops are the work areas in the kitchen and, therefore, the ones that need the most light. Generally, the best option for these areas is LED lights. Why?

LED lights, as we have already repeated, do not heat up like other bulbs, thus avoiding passing heat while cooking, a prevalent problem in kitchens. In turn, LED lighting makes it easy to hide the cables to hide them from view and focus its light downwards, focusing the focus on the preparation area in the kitchen. Having direct light on this surface is the key.
