Orange County Floor Kitchen Bath

I’m remodeling a kitchen and need additional lighting.

I am remodeling my kitchen and I need some help with lighting! My kitchen is appox. 150 square feet. Currently there is a light fixture (an ugly one) with 2 24in florescent bulbs ( i believe 28 watt?) and the room is still really dark. I purchased a light fixture that has 4 48in 28watt bulbs. I am afraid it might be too bright. Can someone help me! I need to know what kind of light to put up. Thanks!

I’m in the process of remodeling my kitchen with new flooring, appliances, cabinets and lighting. I had a false ceiling with floricent lights above the 2×4 paneling. I’ve removed the paneling and lights and now am thinking of installing recessed lights but don’t know how to space them or where. The ceiling is 8-ft and the cabinets are going to be castled (staggered to the ceiling). I really hate to have a shadow on the countertop.
How far out over the sink should one be placed?
Another problem, recessed lighting says insulation should not be within 3 inches. The area above the kitchen is an attic with blown-in insulation. I really don’t want the cold to be coming in around them. How can that be avoided?

We recently remodeled our kitchen and are thinking of installing recessed lights. How difficult is it? We have complete access to our kitchen ceiling via the attic…

Remodeling a kitchen and the current light is at one end of the room. I would like to add more overhead lighting through the one electrical box. Would track lighting be a good option. I don’t need task lighting because I have under cabinet lights. Need something to give general lighting to the room.

I am remodeling a 1930s home with the original plank and beam ceiling. I’d like to put halogen lighting in the kitchen but am not sure what type of lighting I can use. The electrician has suggested track lighting, but i’d prefer something less obtrusive. there appears to be approx. 3 inches of space above the planks. does anyone have experience with this type of ceiling?
