Brighten up the kitchen
with these lighting ideas

THE KITCHEN is a work area
where lots of time is spent in food
preparation.

It may also be used for
homework, hobbies or houschold
management.

Ceiling fixtures, fluorescent or
incandescent, provide overall
lighting. Many times centred on a
ceiling, they may be more effective
if installed near work areas or to
help you see into cabinets and
storage spaces.

But, at the sink, range and
countertops, they leave you work-
ing in your own shadow. These
areas need supplemental ‘task’
lighting.

Two recessed or track
downlights spread 15’? to 18”
apart, with 75-watt, reflector flood
bulbs, work well above a sink and
range.

60 watts can be used recessed, sur-
face-mounted or behind a
faceboard. A range hood requires
at least a 40-watt incandescent
bulb.

Undercabinet lighting is ideal for
work areas under cabinets. Mount
as close to the front of the cabinets
as possible to avoid glare-reflecting
off work surfaces.

A fluorescent fixture that covers
at least two-thirds of the length of
the counter is effective. A rule-of-
thumb is eight watts for every foot
of counter length.

Following sink lighting

In very small kitchens, the
general lighting fixture can be in-
stalled over the counter to provide
task lighting as well.
