DESIGNING WITH LIGHT
IN THE KITCHEN
The kitchen is primarily a work area, but it is also
a gathering place for family and friends. Lighting that is comfortable
as well as functional is required.
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. For example, one or two track
lights over the sink will give you the illumination you need for washing
dishes and scouring pots and pans. 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 or in soffits over these two
busy work areas.
