Pay attention to colors. "Warm" means orange like incandescent light. Some people like it, some people hate it. "Cool" means light blue. I think it looks like death. "Daylight" is pure white and that is what you really want in a kitchen.
You want 80 to 100 watts in a small kitchen, perhaps a small fixture above the sink and a larger one in the middle of the room. If your kitchen is big you might want more fixtures.
You should hire a licensed electrician to install your lights. He knows what to do first, next, and after that.
General or ambient lighting will be the best option if you are planning to hang the light on your kitchen room. Generally, this type of lighting is best for every room. It illuminates all of the room and is considered the room’s “natural light.”
In the kitchen, So, Add your ambient light overhead, then add lower task lighting to illuminate the counter space where you work. If possible, the sink is also an excellent spot to add task lighting.
When choosing LEDs for kitchen lighting, consider these options:
Under Cabinet LED Strips: Provide task lighting for countertops and workspaces.
Recessed LED Downlights: Offer ambient lighting and can be strategically placed for even illumination.
Pendant LED Fixtures: Ideal for islands or dining areas, adding both task and decorative lighting.
LED Track Lighting: Allows flexibility to adjust light direction and focus on specific areas.
Flush Mount LED Ceiling Fixtures: Provide general ambient lighting and can be sleek and modern in design.
Choose LEDs with a color temperature around 2700K-3000K for a warm and inviting kitchen ambiance, and ensure they have high color rendering index (CRI) for accurate color representation.
