The kitchen, as we know, is a place where a lot of time is spent and it also requires concentration and a test of skills. Either it is an open kitchen or a closed room type; all require lights to make work easier. Whether you are cutting vegetables or meat, or mixing ingredients, or measuring the scale, adequate light is required.

When designing the kitchen, design it carefully keeping many points in mind, such as

• convenience
• Security
• Economy
• reachability
• ergonomics and aesthetics
• Ventilation
• Ability
• Ease of repair and maintenance

Above all; lights play an important role. Determine your main work areas, such as the sink, cutting counter, stove, ovens, and storage shelves.

Recessed lights are available in sizes from 3 inches in diameter up to 6 inches. The main places to approach with direct light are

• Cabinet tops (Place light under storage shelf on top of cabinet top) with 2-inch diameter light or fluorescent light tube.
• Light 4 to 6 inches at the top of the sink. The normal rule of thumb is that if you put a 4 inch light the space between the two should be 4 feet, similarly if the light is 6 inches in diameter the space should be 6 feet.
• On the stove. (stove covers or roofs)
• Spot lights on the wall that target the storage cabinets

In case a halogen bulb is used anywhere, be it a gooseneck or recessed light, it must include a voltage transformer, but avoid close contact with wood or any combustible material as halogens produce a lot of heat.

Lights not only give us an ease to see or look at things, they also give us a therapeutic effect. It is well known in medicine that lights are being used to cure many diseases, including mental ones. Therefore, the proper placement of the lights that gives us enough practicality also allows us to relax our nerves and these effects in more quality and quantity work. As the kitchen is a place where families spend most of their time, this can be a place where the maximum therapeutic advantage can be obtained.

Having a well-lit kitchen means clear vision and a cleaner, brighter environment. With recessed lighting you can be sure to get all these advantages and make your life happier.
