I'm not sure what you mean by "...cans with 1 or 2 lights." Do you mean you're thinking of supplemementing the cans with some other sort of fixture?

With 8' ceilings I'd generally be inclined to use 50w PAR30 floods; probably 50PAR30/HAL/SPL/FL40 (assuming you're not in California, where such installations are effectively illegal). I'd expect a room that size would need somewhere in the neighborhood of 14 or 15 cans if it's all work area; if part of it is a seating, breakfast-nook sort of space then that may change a bit. You could also use 75w wide-angle floods and get away with substantially fewer cans, but these would make it harder to put light where you want it.

Positioning suggestions are easier to convey with dots on a floorplan, but here are some general guidelines:

Assuming the 50w bulbs, I'd start by placing most of them over the edges of the perimeter counters and the middle of the island. If your cabs and counters aren't too dark I'd shoot for spacing them about 44" apart, but for more light on the counters you could space them closer. The spacing dimensions are not rigid; use them to determine a ballpark position for any given light, then adjust as necessary to make things look good. It's better to flank any given work area, such as the sink, range, or a section of countertop used for prep work, with 2 lights rather than centering one light directly overhead. Careful not to get cans too close to a projecting range hood or refrigerator.

Yes that is what I was trying to say..supplemementing the cans with some other sort of fixture?

IT is mostly all work area..other than the island and the bar that will seat 3-4 people. I was thinking over the bar area and the island to use some other type of lights also.

Don't have to worry about the CA area, as we are in OK

Thanks for the information! Anymore is much appreciated!
