Choosing my kitchen lighting

Natural is always best and skylights are great, centered over the island cabinet is the best location.Garden windows will show off your green thumb and allow more natural light into the kitchen .  General lighting, typically can lights or a central fixture for safe navigation of the kitchen and work areas controlled by dimmers.Task lighting on dimmers normally covers under the counter, over sinks,over stoves. Accent lighting to create a sense of ambiance, track lighting will give your kitchen a whimsical look with pendants hanging over the island work station. Sconce lights are a good way to create a particular mood or light up you favorite pictures or treasures.Lighting above the cabinet will wash the wall above the cabinets creating added depth to the kitchen. LED bulbs are the new generation of light bulbs offering brighter, cooler, and more energy efficient features for your  lighting needs. Some of these bulbs last up to 50,000 hours.
