Sconces over kitchen windows?

4 years ago

So my eyes and brain are getting tired scrolling through all the lighting sites, and many of the discussions on Houzz for this topic are older and the links don't work, and everyone here is so knowledgeable...so. I would like to place two sconces over my kitchen windows, for actual use lighting the work area to either side of my cooktop. This would be in the evening; the windows face south so should be great for daytime work. I am guessing that for optimum effect the light should project out as close to the middle of the counter as possible? and many of the ones I am finding seem to be very short. Here's a picture of my two cooktop-flanking windows with the wiring for the sconces above. Note that there's not a ton of room between the ceiling and the light, so the sconce really needs to project straight out, not up:




...and here's a photo I found (without a source unfortunately) of the type of look I'm thinking of:




Can anybody point me to a source for something similar? Bonus points if it comes with a flush-mount fixture that looks well together (for the island)


Thanks, gg
