Kitchen
Under and above cabinet lighting provides
enough light in this space to minimize
the need for recessed fixtures. Linear
subminiature fluorescents, only one quarter
inch in diameter and 11 watts each, run
the length of the cabinets. 26 watt recessed
compact fluorescent fixtures with fresnel
lenses supply the downlight. Decorative
pendants add light to the work surface.
Use of a PAR halogen downlight over the
kitchen sink is an effective application
for that directional source. Colors of
walls, cabinets and countertops greatly
influence the choice of lighting. Warmer
tones like gs, browns and beiges require
warm color temperature lighting, in the
2700 to 3000 K range, similar to that
of incandescent. Use consistent color
temperatures of bulbs when mixing fluorescent
and incandescent in a room.
