Hey,

I was hoping that I might be able to get some feedback on two lighting plan designs for a kitchen remodel. I've colored the lights that are being put in as part of the remodel, and the space has existing recessed lighting that isn't planned to be moved.

I have three images in the post:

1. The first image is one provided by our GC, with six recessed lights over the walkways and island seating.
2. The second image is one that I worked up, with recessed lighting moved so that there are lights over the edge of the countertops centered on the kitchen cabinets, and then a row of three over the working edge of the island. There are also pendant lights over the island (might shift these so they are more biased towards the seating side of the island). And lastly, two recessed lights over the right hand side walkway, and one over the small pushout space.
3. The final image is the same image as the second, but the camera is shifted so you can get a better idea of the space.

The goal of the revision was to try to provide better lighting for the working surfaces of the kitchen, as I was concerned that the first plan with the lights over the walkway would cause shadows and/or poor lighting when standing at the sink/stove/island.

The questions that I have are:

• Is the revised plan a step in the right direction, and if so would it be close to good enough for the final design?
• Are there things that could still be adjusted?
• Are the recessed lights over the edge of the island too close together?

Thank you very much for any insights and advice you might have.
