LiteTile combines lighting source with Kitchen Splash Back

Nothing beats the crispness and contemporary look of a colour glass splashback – until the colour no longer appeals and replacing it is expensive. LiteTile has solved this problem with the introduction of a glass splashback illuminated by colour-changing LEDs and its ultra slim units are available from only 12mm thick.

“These versatile units can be used as a light source for worktops as well as a lighting feature behind cookers and hobs,” says Ian Lancaster, co-owner of LiteTile. “We feel people want both practicality and innovation in their kitchens and we believe that LiteTile provides this.

“LiteTile has been designed using the best in LED technology and edge-lighting materials available and these have a minimum life expectancy of 30,000 hours. The LiteTile uses a special light-enhancing acrylic called Prismex which, in conjunction with the high output LEDs, spreads the light evenly across the whole of the splashback”.

LiteTile is available in three options:

Option 1: Single colour: white, red, blue, green or amber
Option 2: White and colour-changing LEDs
Option 3: Colour-changing only

Ian explained that the colour-changing version of LiteTile is controlled by an easy-to-use remote control unit, which contains eight pre-set programmes. It can also be set to programmes and colours of choice or, for more total control, LiteTile can be supplied with a fully programmable wall panel. However, if someone just wants a white unit this is an energy-efficient and sleek way of providing task lighting in the kitchen.

The splashback face is covered with either Polar frost Perspex acrylic or low ion frosted glass so that the green tint that can appear from ordinary glass panels when illuminated does not feature on these splashbacks.

Sensio lights up traditional kitchens

Leading manufacturer of chic energy efficient lighting products, Sensio Lighting, has launched a new range of lights designed to suit the needs of traditional kitchens.

Completely changing the mood of a space, lighting plays an integral part in producing the right atmosphere in the kitchen. Specially created to complement traditional or country styles, the latest range from Sensio, provides a much warmer hue. Enhancing natural woods and period features, the lights emit a soft ambient glow that brings out the true character of the kitchen.

Traditional in style but not in content, Sensio’s lighting range is very energy efficient and eco friendly. Pictured above, the HD LED 24V Triangle Light uses higher definition technology which increases the brightness of the LED whilst using less energy. Its discreet design does not impede upon the kitchen as it is only 20mm thick so sits flush under cabinets, providing essential task lighting. It also features sensor technology so there is no need for ugly switches as it can be activated by motioning past the sensor.
