kitchen lighting help - urgent

8 years ago

last modified: 8 years ago

Hi,

Crown Point cabinets are coming soon (so please no comments on the layout as it can't be changed). The electrician comes Tuesday to wire and I need some advice on the lighting plan. I don't like recessed lighting and was hoping to avoid it by using flush mounts but my builder thinks I am nuts.

Kitchen is visible from the front hall. It is 19' by 13'3".

The island pendants are 20.5" wide by 13 high. I have 3 of them but am wondering if 2 would look better. Island is 87 wide.

Total window width is 73".

Directional sconces may be in order on the blank walls as you have no chance for under cab task lights. Does hood have 3 light settings?you will want that. 2 island fixtures and some wall sconces would be my pick if you don't like can lites. Get the can lites as it appears you will but wall sconces with island pendants would give flexibility . May be you have no time to search wall sconces or it can't be done now. Lack of task lighting has to be considered. The answer to your main question is 2 over the island

herbflavor - the hood has two 35 watt lights.

The lighting that is shown can be changed - I just mocked it up tonight. I'd be willing to do cans if I can find some that aren't horrible - my builder thinks a flush mount in front of the fridge would be too busy and I think he might be right.

I'm doing two sconces over the windows.
