First of all, thank you to everyone posting here. I've learned a ton about hood liners, kitchen layout, etc. I'm working on our electrical and lighting plan. I've ready pretty much everything on lighting, so I'm looking for general comments about the placement, switch locations, etc.

* Ceiling heights are 10 feet

* Eat-in kitchen table directly under the skylight, which BTW, is 2' x 6'.

* The 36" Modern-Aire hood liner has 2 built-in halogen lights.

* The 30" OTR microwave (mounted next to fridge) has 2 built-in halogen lights

* Recessed cabinet-mounted lights for counters...still deciding between color corrected LED and Xenon, but either way, these will be the puck-style.

* Rope lighting used over cabinet for accent lighting.

* Both under/over cabinet lighting switches are recessed into cabinet and hidden.

* 4-gang switch box with dimmers at one entry way, with a single 3-way to control general kitchen lighting at other entry.

* 3-Pendants over island (type & color still deciding)

* Hidden/recessed plugmold used for perimeter power.

That's about all I can think of for background. The plan picture follows. Thank you for stopping to look and comment!
