Recessed lights in kitchen: 4", 5" or 6" cans?

A relative of mine has the below kitchen. She is in the final stages of the design. I am helping her, and wanted to make sure that we were doing this right before we hand this over to the draftsman for final drafting.



This is a 19' by 13'6" kitchen. It has 9' ceilings. She is wondering the following:


If she goes with 600 lumen lights, how many does she need?

If she goes with 1200 lumen lights, how many does she need? And would 1200 lumens at 9' be too bright/glaring?

Is one can light sufficient over the computer area at lower right of image?


Thanks! Any response is much appreciated.
