What is included
Light fixing and lighting installation for homes, offices and shops, from one replaced fitting to downlights, LED strip, pendants and outdoor lights. Most lighting faults in Abu Dhabi trace back to a fitting screwed into gypsum board alone, a driver with no headroom, or a joint that humidity has reached. Our own technicians isolate the circuit at the distribution board, prove it dead with a tester and work to the manufacturer's instructions. Any approval the building or the community asks for is identified at the site visit, and we prepare the paperwork.
- Strip set towards the front edge of the cabinet base
- Cables hidden behind a pelmet or in a routed groove
- Driver placed above the wall units with air around it
- Neutral white chosen and matched to the ceiling lights
How we carry out kitchen and cabinet lighting
Ceiling downlights sit behind you at a kitchen counter, so your own head and shoulders shade the worktop. Light under the wall cabinets puts that right. Strip in a shallow aluminium profile is fixed near the front edge of the cabinet base and angled back slightly, so it lights the surface without glaring off polished stone. Cables run behind a light pelmet or in a groove to a driver sitting on top of the wall units, where there is air around it and a hand can reach it.
Kitchens are warm, steamy and greasy, which is hard on bare strip. An unprotected strip above a kettle or beside the hob yellows and fails in sections. On a glossy worktop every diode reflects as a dot unless the profile has a diffuser. Drivers buried behind a fixed plinth are another regular find. The site visit checks whether there is a switched feed near the cabinets, how the carcasses are built and what colour the ceiling lights already are.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Survey and diagnosis. A technician inspects the system or surface, takes readings and photographs, and explains what was found in plain language.
- Written quotation. You receive a written quotation against a defined scope before any work starts. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately.
- Protected, supervised work. The work area is protected and isolated, and the job is carried out by our own technicians under a named supervisor.
- Testing. Every job ends with a measured test suited to the discipline, so the result is a reading and a photograph and not an opinion.
- Report and warranty. The completed report reaches you within the hour. Any failed point is put right free of charge within 48 hours.

Kitchen and Cabinet Lighting in Etihad Plaza: what we plan for
A gated apartment development of low and mid rise buildings, where each visit needs a building permit and the lift is booked for equipment. In an apartment building we submit the work permit, book the service lift and bring compact equipment that fits it.
Villas here often run split, ducted and package units side by side. Every unit, pump and water tank is logged on the first visit and maintained to one plan.
Most villas are on open streets, so the crew parks at the gate and works with the owner or the house staff. Apartment buildings ask for a permit and a lift booking. Any outside work that may need the community or municipality to agree is identified at the site visit.

Questions about kitchen and cabinet lighting in Etihad Plaza
What does kitchen and cabinet lighting include?
Strip or slim bar lights are fitted under wall cabinets and inside glass units, wired back to a concealed driver, so the worktop is lit without shadow. The work includes strip set towards the front edge of the cabinet base; cables hidden behind a pelmet or in a routed groove; driver placed above the wall units with air around it.
Can cabinet lights be added to a kitchen that is already fitted?
In most kitchens, yes. The strip fixes to the underside of the wall units and the cable hides behind a small pelmet. The point to check is where the feed comes from, often the cooker hood supply or a socket above the units.
Which is better for a kitchen, warm white or neutral white?
Neutral white is the usual choice over worktops because food and surfaces show their true colour under it. If the kitchen opens onto a living room lit in warm white, we match the cabinet lights to whichever the ceiling uses.
How much does kitchen and cabinet lighting cost in Etihad Plaza, Khalifa City?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: size and type of the system or surface; present condition and ease of access. Book a site visit: a supervisor from The MELLS looks at the work and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before anything begins.
Who provides kitchen and cabinet lighting in Etihad Plaza, Khalifa City?
The MELLS provides kitchen and cabinet lighting in Etihad Plaza, Khalifa City, Abu Dhabi. The work is carried out by people The MELLS employs directly, under a named supervisor, 08:00 to 19:00, Monday to Saturday. To arrange it, book a site visit on this page or call +971 55 444 0084.
How long does kitchen and cabinet lighting take?
Typically 1 to 3 hours for a few fittings, longer for whole rooms. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
Why do my LED lights flicker?
Four causes account for most flicker: a failing driver, a dimmer that does not suit the lamp, a loose neutral, or a transformer carrying more than it should. We test for them in turn instead of swapping lamps at random, and show you what we found.
Can a heavy chandelier hang from a gypsum ceiling?
Not from the board itself. The weight has to go to the slab or a joist through a fixing rated for the load, with the gypsum only covering it. We open a small access above the position, set the anchor and close the ceiling around the rose.
Is a permit needed for lighting work in a tower or mall in Etihad Plaza, Khalifa City?
Towers and malls normally ask for a work permit, and a retail unit has to follow the landlord fit out guide. We identify what applies at the site visit and prepare the paperwork the building or the landlord asks for.
Do you arrange the building permit in Etihad Plaza, Khalifa City?
Yes. Most buildings ask contractors for a work permit, trade licence, insurance and staff IDs, and a service lift booking. We submit all of it for you.
Do you clean water tanks in Khalifa City villas?
Yes. Roof and ground tanks are drained, scrubbed, disinfected and refilled, with the inlet and overflow screens checked. The scope is confirmed in writing after the site visit.
How do I choose a company for kitchen and cabinet lighting in Etihad Plaza, Khalifa City?
Ask four things: who employs the people who will come, whether the scope is written down before work starts, how the result is checked, and what happens if something is missed. The MELLS uses its own staff, quotes in writing after a site visit, checks every job (a measured test for every job, with photographs before and after) and puts right any failed check free of charge within 48 hours.
