a striking visual effect . In open areas over
sinks use recessed down lights mounted directly
over the sink. Kitchen lighting should have a
flexible combination of of ambient, task and
accent lighting.
- Ambient - Ambient lighting provides general
illumination — the background brightness
that gives a room a comfortable glow. It helps
you move through a room safely and easily. Indirect
up lights, such as wall sconces, light rooms
softly and evenly for a diffuse effect. Halogen
puck lights when installed underneath your upper
cabinets work effectively to add this type of
interior design effect.
- Task - Task lighting is directed to places
such as a kitchen counter or a desktop, where
close work is done regularly. Recessed, track,
or pendants can provide ample light for tasks.
- Accent - Accent lighting focuses on special
features in a room, such as flower arrangements,
artwork, or a special table, with low-voltage
pendants or small, adjustable ceiling-mounted
spots. Track lighting works well for this it's
functional, flexible and adaptable.
