Isn't $200 enough to have an electrician add cheap-o one-bulb sockets to the closet and the washer cupboard? I don't mind the track so much, but I'm afraid it won't illuminate inside the closet areas because there will be a shadow thrown when somebody is standing in front of those areas trying to see into them.

I don't know on the cost yet. I have an electrician coming soon for an estimate on adding a ceiling fan in the LR (whole deal, box, wiring, etc, there is nothing there now) plus replacing this fixture and the chandelier over the dining table. Since we're first floor w/ n o access from above, I thought taht meant running new wiring would cost more, so I was planning on spending most of the funds on the ceiling fan project. I don't ahve a firm budget, but hoping to keep all the labor to $600 or less. Will still need to buy the ceiling fan and hallway light, got the chandelier from Habitat Re-store for $30 (same one we were headed to the store to buy for around $90 but decided to stop).

I think with that 6 light figure you can easily aim a couple of them to shine into the closet without blocking the light when you are standing in the closet doorway. It should light up the area enough to access the w/h closet, too, just to get something from it or put something away. When a worker needs light for replacing something in the utility closet, you can either re-aim a few of the overheads, or they can use portable lantern or something. I have a couple of track light fixtures in my kitchen and love how they pour light into all the corners of the workspace.

Ikea track lights.

Update: the electrician (Mister Sparkey) had this light in his van, so I went with it:

Lights up everything fabulously except one corner of the storage closet. Might put one of those tap lights on the wall in that corner. Paid a lot more than Amazon, oh well! Probably ended up being cheaper than me buying another light and paying them labor to install it (based on the fact that I paid $93 to replace the dining room small chandelier we found at the habitat ReStore). I will probably change out the switch to a dimmer because the light doesn't always need to be so bright :). He also did the two lights over the fireplace and at the front door. those have dimmers (the old kind), and so far they are working. Need to research to see if they need to be changed to LED-type dimmers or not.

I plan on buying more to put in all the can lights in the LR and kitchen (8 lights). All you do is connect a grounding wire to a crew inside the can light and then screw in the end just like a light bulb.

Nice.

Good choice. You really can't have a fixture hanging down from a lowered ceiling in the hallway.

straitlover - Is the fixture truly recessed or does it project an inch or so? Asking because the Q&As indicate it projects lower than the ceiling 1.5 inches. I don't want one that protrudes 1.5 inches.

One reviewer also stated "Nice lights, with the added flexibility of not having can lights dug into my ceiling." I would be adding these to completed ceilings, but want them flush ("dug into my ceiling"). Were yours installed flush so that only the thickness of the rim (maybe 1/8 inch) sits proud of the ceiling?

It does project a little bit. 1.5 inch seems too much, though. I haven't measured, but I'd say it is closer to a half inch or so. I would definitely not say it is flush, though.

This one from Lowe's is the one I am going to put in the kitchen. It is more like what you are looking for, and they are cheaper:

Thank you! Will you use the one linked in your response to replace an existing fixture or are you going to "dig into" your kitchen ceiling starting from scratch?

They will be inserted into existing can lights. You just unscrew the light bulb in the existing fixture, screw this one in the light socket and pop it into existing can light. You don't have to remove the the old can light. Those metal brackets clip into it.

Ahhh, I'm starting from scratch on 18 recessed lights throughout. Thank you.
