Kitchen lighting- help please!

17 years ago

If anyone can help out here...

We are planning on putting 5 pendants over the island, and recessed lighting over the walkway areas. There will also be under cabinet lighting.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how many recessed lights we should use?

What kind of lights would you suggest for over the sink/dishwasher area (recessed or pendant, considering all the pendants already in the kitchen and morning room)?

Any input would be much appreciated!

The ceilings are 9' and the kitchen is 18x25

Thanks

I have cans in the aisles of my new kitchen. I think you want one at least every 6 feet, but I would say even less in a kitchen. I bet mine will be about 4 feet apart. I have three small cans over my sink (centered on three windows that are there). I think that since you have 5 pendants already, I wouldn't do anymore.

Our electrician suggested putting the aisle lights over applicances for sure - so one in front of the ovens, one in front of the fridge, stove etc. We tried to err on the side of too many, with dimmers and multiple switches so we could control the lighting as desierd.
