LED Lighting
Lighting built into the cabinetry, not added to it.
We machine the groove, set the track into the channel, and hand the connection to our licensed electrical contractor. The result is a clean line of light with no visible fixtures, no adhesive strips peeling off a shelf, and no extension cords.
A closet is only as good as what you can see in it.
Most bedroom closets are lit by a single ceiling bulb behind you, which means you are choosing clothes in your own shadow. Integrated lighting puts the source where the storage is: under every shelf, above every rod, along the toe kick.
Because the channel is routed into the panel during manufacturing, the aluminum track sits flush with the wood. You see a soft, even line of light — not dots, not hardware, not a strip stuck to the underside of a shelf.
Every run is cut to the exact length of the shelf it serves, wired back to a single point, and finished with a diffuser so the individual diodes disappear.
Three temperatures. Pick the one that suits the room.
Temperature is measured in Kelvin. Lower numbers are warmer and yellower; higher numbers are cooler and closer to daylight.
3000K — Warm White
Warm White A soft, golden light close to a traditional incandescent bulb. It flatters warm woods, oak and walnut finishes, and keeps a primary bedroom feeling calm rather than clinical — useful when the closet is open to the room or visible at night.
- Primary bedroom walk-ins
- Reach-in closets open to the bedroom
- Media walls and coffee bars
4000K — Neutral White
Neutral White Clean and neutral, without the yellow cast of warm white or the blue edge of daylight. Colours read closest to true, which matters when you are matching a navy jacket to black trousers at 6am. The most versatile of the three.
- Walk-ins used for getting ready
- Home offices
- Pantries and laundry rooms
5000K — Daylight
Daylight Crisp, bright and closest to midday daylight. It maximises contrast and detail, which makes it the right choice for work surfaces and utility spaces — though it can feel cold in a bedroom.
- Garages
- Mudrooms
- Workshops
- Deep pantry shelving and detail work areas
Machined in Oshawa. Wired by a licensed contractor.
The lighting is planned at the design stage, not improvised on installation day. That is the difference between a finished line of light and a strip stuck on afterwards.
Designed in
We decide during your 3D design which shelves, rods and toe kicks are lit, and where the power feed and switch will live.
Grooves machined
The channel is cut into the panel in our own shop while the unit is being manufactured — square, straight, and to the exact depth of the track.
Track and diffuser set
luminum track is seated into the groove so it finishes flush with the panel, then capped with a frosted diffuser that hides the diodes.
Connected and tested
Our licensed electrical contractor makes the connection, installs the driver and switching, and tests every run before we leave.
Flush, not surface-mounted.
A routed channel means the track sits inside the panel instead of hanging below it. Nothing catches on a sleeve, nothing collects dust on a ledge, and the shelf keeps its full thickness line.

Anywhere we build, we can light.
Shelf undersides
Washes the shelf below so folded stacks and shoes are lit from above instead of shadowed.
Hanging rods
A lit rod puts light down the face of everything hanging, so colours read true on the hanger.
Toe kicks
A low glow along the base — practical at night, and it makes a walk-in feel like a dressing room.
Media walls
Backlit floating shelves and niches, dimmable so the room still works for watching a film.
Pantries
Cool, bright light at the back of deep shelves where a ceiling fixture never reaches.
Home offices
Task lighting under upper cabinets that keeps the desk surface clear of lamps.
