Lighting That Defines Ambiance 
The right lighting has the power to transform a space. Thanks to the visual depth created through lighting, it has evolved into a dynamic design element that defines mood, warmth, and the overall atmosphere while enhancing a space’s sense of luxury. Richelieu’s intelligent lighting solutions include innovative WAVE technology, designed to create seamless transitions between lighting tones while giving users intuitive control over their environment.

WAVE elements include the FlexyLED HE6B D-Motion Wave, a dimmable dual-white LED strip ideal for dynamic underlighting applications, and the HOLL D-Motion Wave, which delivers distinctive halo-patterned illumination perfect for under-cabinet installations. Additional versatile solutions such as the FlexyLED SEH4 and FlexyLED AT6 offer customizable cut lengths for precise integration beneath cabinetry and along curved surfaces. The lighting elements are compatible with the 96W Wireless Bluetooth BTRF LED Receiver, a fully wireless solution that offers convenient Bluetooth-enabled lighting control for added convenience and customization.

High-Performance Drawer Hardware
In today’s cabinetry, exceptional function is just as important as a refined look. Richelieu’s advanced drawer systems deliver smooth, effortless motion, long-lasting performance, and streamlined design details that enhance the comfort and experience of everyday living. Among the featured solutions is the Series 828 Full-Extension Synchronized Concealed Undermount Slide, engineered with synchronized soft-close technology for whisper-quiet operation and exceptional stability. The synchronized mechanism helps prevent drawer twisting and bending, ensuring a smooth, even glide regardless of where the drawer is pulled.

For projects requiring a more value-driven solution without compromising quality, the 314 F Series Concealed Drawer Slide delivers dependable soft-close performance with a practical ¾ extension suitable for a wide range of cabinetry applications. Complementing the slide systems is the RCS 105-degree Gotham Metallic soft-close hinge, which pairs a refined metallic black finish with timeless style.

Designed to prevent the simultaneous opening of multiple drawers, it’s an essential childproofing feature that reduces dangerous tip-overs.  Also featured is the Locking Device for Richelieu 828 Slides, a thoughtful and discreet safety enhancement for family-safe design.
