Hi there,
We are just getting to the point where the builder needs to know where to put the lights in our new kitchen/diner extension - much earlier than expected due to the rain keeping him off the roof! Kitchen is south and west facing, with massive windows/French doors and veluxs.
I know downlights are a faux pas on MN but I don't see what other option I have for the kitchen bit- we want pendants over the island (another no no, gasp!) and a chandelier over the dining table. Will also have under cabinet lights under the wall units.
So main question is- where do you place the led downlights? Directly over the countertop or (imagine you're standing at the sink) over your head, or behind your head? I'm worried about shadows and glare.
Second question is, how far apart?
Third question is- any other lighting tips?? There was a thread on recently here about siting the pendants but I can't find it.
Thank you in advance!
