You need task lighting above the counters, even if you do have under cabinet lighting. You want the overhead lighting to be just at the edge of the counters so the light falls in front of you as you work. Personally I'd like high hats where I indicated in green below:

Thanks Cpartist! What size do you suggest and what voltage? I would prefer to go with LED for durability, but warm lighting. Also, besides the green spots should I put any other lighting in the center of the room by the skylight? The room is 12'x11' with a 8ft ceiling.

I love my 2700K LEDs. They are all one housing. So, you don't screw in a light bulb. There is sort of a cover on the outside.

A19 led bulbs which look like regular traditional light bulbs are now available in dimmable 100w equivalents. Costco has them in a warm color range. They are flood type with more than enough foot candles for work surface illumination. 1600 lumens for about 15 watts. They can go in an inexpensive standard recessed can lighting fixture. Or something more designed or with a taller can if you have the above ceiling clearance. . . . .I'd also use them for the general lighting on another circuit.

Thanks everyone:)
