IMO with just one wall cabinet I would not bother with under cabinet lighting IMO wall sconces are accent light at best and in a kitchen really what you need is lighting like an operating room and on dimmers if you want. I would not have put the range under that window regardless of it passing code . The window cannot open for sure and you had a whole wall there to place the range with proper venting . A space needs balance not symmetry all the time but balance I need to see the drawings of all those walls showing the cabinets. Who designed this kitchen?

Thanks for your response. I agree to skip the under cabinet lights. I think I’ve decided to do 1 light over the shelf to the right of the stove, a light to the left of the sink and a light at the same height to the right of the sink. How does that sound? Alternately I could do a total of 5 lights - 2 to the right of the stove, 2 to the left of the sink, 1 to the right of the sink.

I had a designer and an architect do drawings. The architect put the stove in the corner which I hated. I have a vintage Chambers stove that is 37.5” wide. There is literally no where else to put it. We have been through tens of iterations. We are going to do a ceiling vent (again I know it’s not ideal. I’ve read all about it but it’s what we have to do). If I put the stove on the wall where the sink is now it pushes the kitchen too far down into the dining area. If I put it where the refrigerator is I have to put the fridge down into the dining area - which I also don’t want to do.

Why wouldn’t I be able to open the window? I was planning on doing a casement window over the stove so it can easily be opened.

Here’s a pic of the kitchen now that it’s been demoed. We removed the wall between kitchen and dining room.

I hate refrigerators and want it as much hidden as possible so that is why it is to the far left in the layout.

A few more notes - the stove will not fit to the right of the window. Sadly we tried but it was pushed up against the wall.

Below are revised rough sketch of where I’d put the lights as well as the lights I’m looking at. There will be 2 pleated ones over the island. The island is more of a work table ywithout seating. It is only 36”x 60”. The blue box on the floor represents the island with a 42” clearance from the cabinets. The other lights are the ones for the wall over the shelf.

Thanks so much for your help. :)

I would just put one above each window.

It would be useful to do an overhead layout of your space. Task lighting is pretty important for work areas in a kitchen. 450 lumens at the counter is recommended. And the source should be located so you don't create a shadow with your body on the space you're cutting something with a knife, for example. Small 3-4" led recessed cans 6-8" in from the edge of the counter is a good location.

When you say “6-8” in from the edge of the counter” do you mean in towards the center of the room or out towards the perimeter?
