How far from range hood for ceiling cans?

17 years ago

I'm working on the final lighting scheme for my kitchen. The lighting store is recommending that we put 6" cans on either side of our range hood. The rangehood will be an under cabinet stainless steel type with a 10" rise.

Does anyone know how far away (horizontally) from the range hood cans should be so as to avoid the glare? I'm just having images of shiny light spots on the range hood...

Help please!

I think some (if not most) recessed light fixtures are designed som that you can adjust the angle. If you find such fixtures, the possibility of glare would be less a concern.
