If this cabinet is surface mounted, what are examples of light fixtures to mount on the wall above and far enough out to not shine on the top??

It is a matter of personal taste. My mirror did start to show black spots on the bottom after thee months.

We purchased lights that are on a "carriage hook". They expand more than half way past the top edge of the cabinet and the base of the light is mounted about 6-8" above the cabinet. The light if fine and more than sufficient; and it looks nice. The cabinet quality is excellent and easy to clean. We have owned them for 6 months with no problems.

I bought a simple light fixture from Lowes that had four separate lights that hung out and over the cabinet. I also used clear, seeded glass bell covers. My lights are also well above the cabinet, so more than likely, any light fixture will do, unless you are really tall and need the cabinet put up higher than normal.

We inserted ours, but Kohler includes mirror panels so you have the option of surface mounting. Love love our cabinet.

We have a breakfast bar too, but no cabinet above it. The one thing that might bother you is seeing the actual light fixture if you're going to be eating right under it. It's not pretty especially since you have to attach the adapter right next to it. If you have a lightrail around your cabinet, you may not see it (needs to be at least 1.5"), and would definitely look great. The light is very pleasing to the eyes, we use it in the morning all the time, as opposed to regular recessed lighting. Also at night it makes for a pretty cool night light! Did I mention the lights don't get hot?

As others have mentioned, the fixture does have mounting brackets/ clamps. However, I would not recommend mounting to a wall. The light fixture can pop out of the clamps as easily as they snap in. Not secure enough!

The mounting options are numerous. The mounting bracket is a right angle, full length bracket with two key holes on each side of the bracket (4 holes total). The light also has two screw holes so it can be mounted directly. I mounted mine under the sink in cramped space, so I just screwed the bracket directly to my cabinet and snapped the light into the bracket. Worked great. It also comes with 3m two sided tape.

No. Unless you have the cabinet placed in a totally light-less room it's not necessary as all four sides are transparent. You could stick a tap-on light to the underside of the wooden top. Hope this helps.

There are 2 mounting holes, one at each end of the fixture. You could put eye bolts in the holes and hang the fixture from them, but it may not be level, depending how the electrical power is connected.

This is a very elegant contemporary light that would look out of place in a laundry room. Best overhead in the kitchen over an island. Don't think it would mount well on a wall.

No, fixture is not designed for direct mounting. No easy access to inside of fixture.Instructions state to mount "minimum of three inches from ceiling."

I looked at the instructions and it specifically says "Do NOT mount over sinks or stoves" - it's # 24 on their list of warnings. Also it states that you need to mount the power supply and line cord "Outside of cabinet in all installations" for what it's worth. They do get fairly hot as these are halogen/xenon bulbs so you might want to look at led type lighting kits.

I mounted on the ceiling. If you have the electrical wiring and box I can't see why you could not mount it to the wall. I really like it. Is mounted in the kitchen area with the lights aimed at the counter tops. Looks great.

We had ours mounted, but you can have it on the floor or table. Mounted covered more of an area.I liked it this disco light, because it was simple to put up.I hope this helps.

It can be either surface or recessed. Ours is recessed. It was easy to install and is a high quality cabinet.

yes, the light shines out from both the top and bottom. The light can also be mounted hortizontal, if one chooses.

I would say it depends on how high they are mounted. Mine (only ONE light fixture) is over a kitchen sink/counter in the garage and is mounted only about 7' high. In my setup, it is plenty bright. I like it.

I surface mounted the mirror. There is a thin mirror that surround the cabinet that is very appealing.

If your wall cabinet projects out from the wall like a kitchen cabinet and the light can be mounted to the bottom ans is somewhat concealed it would probably work OK. I wpuld not mount it on a wall exposed to view. Also be ready to change batteries about once a month if you uset it frequently. JerryB
