Furniture & Cabinet

The Challenge

Furniture lighting is specified by furniture makers, not lighting engineers. It has to fit a 15 mm rebate, run from a 12 V or 24 V supply the cabinet already has, switch on when the door opens, and never be the reason a customer calls back. Heat, cable routing and driver siting are the details that decide whether an installation succeeds.

Our Approach

Think-max furniture profiles are deliberately small, low-profile and low-heat. Using high-efficiency COB and SMD engines at reduced drive current keeps the extrusion cool enough to sit against melamine, MDF and veneer without scorching or long-term discolouration.

Everything is designed around concealed wiring: rear-entry cable channels, push-fit connectors and drivers sized to sit inside a plinth, back panel or a dedicated driver profile. Door and drawer sensors, hand-wave switches and touch dimmers are available as plug-in modules, so a cabinet can be lit without cutting into the carcass design.

Typical Applications

• Wardrobes, hanging rails and drawer interiors
• Kitchen wall units, plinths and worktop undersides
• Bookshelves, display joinery and alcove shelving
• Bathroom vanity and mirror cabinets
• Reception desks, counters and hospitality joinery

Recommended Systems

Shelf & Cabinet Profiles

• Sections from 8 × 8 mm for 15 mm and 18 mm board
• Recessed, surface and 45° angled variants
• Opal, frosted and clear diffuser options
• Anodised silver, black and white as standard

Low-Voltage Engines

• 12 V and 24 V DC, 4–14 W/m
• COB and 2835 / 2216 high-density SMD
• CRI 90+, 2700 K – 6000 K
• Suitable for dimming without flicker on quality drivers

Sensors & Switching

• Door, drawer and PIR sensors
• Hand-wave and touch dimmers
• Plug-in connectors and pre-wired harnesses

Working With Furniture Makers

We supply cut-to-length profiles, pre-wired harnesses and driver packs sized to your carcass, and we can hold stock against a repeat furniture programme. Send us a cutting list and we will return lengths, wattage per unit and a wiring diagram the factory can build from directly.
