We have a kitchen island that has our cooktop on it. Opposite the cooktop is a seating area, not too big, about 2' deep by 5-6' wide. Seating for 2 or 3 people. We currently have lights over the island, but I'd like to install a range hood to deal with smoke and grease. Obviously we will have to pull out the current lights since they are mostly centered over the island. I know that the range hood will have lights, but those usually are focused down on the cooktop, and I'm not sure how much light would be cast over to the seating area.

Anyone have a similar experience? If the cooktop lights are not enough, I might be able to add additional lights, but I feel like they would either need be very close to the range hood, or basically over the heads of anyone sitting at the island. Any ideas? I can try and get a picture, but not sure I can capture everything, so let me know what infor would help!

Thanks!
