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. |
