Lighting above the sink is important. The sink is one of the main spots in the kitchen. Tasks done there need lighting too! How else can you see if a pot is clean?

You do need lighting there but something else might be more attractive, or better hidden.

I always recommend 2 cans above each sink (similar to your photo) to make sure that there is adequate light without shadows.
