The radius of the curved plastic gives you more height and a beautiful spaciousness to the room.

With the light around the perimeter of the opening, the room gets an even amount of light over the counter tops, where you need light the most.

An option is to wire the lights to seperate switches to give you different levels of light or a night light.
