Below is my first stab at a recessed light layout for a kitchen remodel. The cooktop and oven are on a counter that spans that corner with the lights ~24" out from the wall to provide adequate lighting while working at the counter. 12" deep uppers here with crown. The other 6 lights are centered in the room around the island with 4' spacing. The fridge and pantry both come out 24+ inches so I didn't want to get too close to those.

The current layout has only 3 recessed lights down the middle of the room and two near the bump out. It seems bright enough, but we'll have the bottom lefthand corner counter space we didn't previously.

8 ft ceiling. Thinking of 5-inch can with a 75-watt equivalent PAR30 NFL LED lamps for these.

The space to the right is a vault family room and the space to the upper left is a vaulted breakfast light each with their down set of lights.

Thoughts/Suggestions?
