Light Over Kitchen Sink Dilemma

18 years ago

I need help. We are doing a (mostly) DIY kitchen remodel and have discovered a problem with how to install lighting over the sink. Previously, there was a soffit with a lighting fixture installed in it. Now that we have removed the soffit, we discovered there is a ceiling rafter that is centered perfectly over the sink. We had hoped to put in a pendant or a recessed can centered over the sink, but now we can't install anything over the sink directly due to this rafter in the way.

We are considering 2 small (maybe 3 inch) recessed lights on either side of the rafter or possibly some type of track lighting with an off-center electrical box, but I'm not a huge fan of track lighting. Do you guys have any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Jane
