I have a friend who hired a lighting contractor to design the lighting in a new kitchen. It was expensive and she rejected the ideas as she thought there were too many lights. So she did it her way. She was sorry and is still wishing she had listened to the lighting designer. She said there was a lot of math and the light from the windows was taken into account, and the shade from the trees, etc. And I was there and the kitchen was dark. Marcia
