A large ceiling fixture, equipped with
energy efficient fluorescent tubes will supply plenty of well
diffused general lighting, but 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 lit 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. |
