A large ceiling fixture equipped with energy efficient fluorescent
tubes will supply plenty of well diffused general lighting. However,
it may leave you working in your own shadow at the sink, range,
and countertops. These areas need supplemental task lighting. Track
lights over the sink will give you the illumination you need for
washing dishes.
At the sink and range, an individual recessed downlight equipped
with an energy efficient, compact fluorescent tube will provide
you with adequate task lighting when installed in the ceiling.
Dinettes, nooks, and island counters can be lighted with pendants. When
used with a dimmer control, these ceiling-hung fixtures will provide
you with adequate task lighting for hobbies, homework, or family business
and allow you to lower the light for entertaining.
Undercabinet lighting is ideal for countertops. Mount as close to
the front of the cabinets as possible to avoid glare reflecting
off work surfaces.
