I have a very small kitchen, square room with 72" sink run on one side and a 93" stove/fridge/itty-bitty counter run on the adjoining wall. There are presently hard-wired flourescent fixtures over both the sink and stove, and nine halogen can lights around the perimeter.

Everything's coming out, but nothing is being relocated.

A microwave will go over the stove and I imagine that its light will throw considerably less wattage over the cooktop area, so I will need to fill that in with some undercab lighting on the two flanking 15" counters.

Same thing for the sink run. Right now, the flourescent fixture over the sink is on pretty much anytime anyone's home -- that's just the way we are. It throws fugly light (even with the full spectrum bulb) and I'd like to do something else, but again, it'll probably be on most of the time. Either that, or the undercab lights flanking the sink will be on. Countertops are light granite, btw.

The cabinet installer is running hard wires for me but I need to figure out to what fixtures, and fast. Question is, what? Pucks? Bars? LEDs? Xenon? I'm lost. Only thing I know for sure is I hate the ultra-white cast from certain LEDs. Any questions I should be asking myself to help narrow down the selection?

Thanks!
