Ideas for the best lighting for my kitchen?
Cathy asked:
I have a dark kitchen with one small light fixture. My kitchen is not that big and does not have alot of natural light. It has only one small window. What is the best lighting to brighten it up? I have heard Flourescent is the best but I thought that it was ugly and old fashioned. It’s only a small kitchen. Any ideas? I need something to throw out a lot of light. Is it better to get one long light fixture?

Flourescent fixtures have come a long way in the last few years, and you can get the bulbs in the better “Warm White”.
Also look at the new LED light fixtures. [who] vinny

My kitchen is a galley style, and my husband and son-in-law installed recessed lighting -it’s wonderful! It had a long florescent box fixture, and getting that thing out gives the whole room seem much bigger. Amazing! We used six lights and they’re on a dimmer, so it doesn’t HAVE to be lit up like Vegas. But when I need/want light, I’ve got plenty. [who] P K S
