Great post Lampert Dias.

I wouldn't add only cans but make some of those hanging fixtures. Do you really want just cans or actual fixtures in rooms?

Lampert - that is an absurd amount of cans you are proposing. That is a lack of imagination and an obsession with can lights. How can you propose a distance between lights without a ceiling height and a light size? Can lights in a bedroom or bathroom are a waste. Bedrooms should be for dark activities - ask any sleep expert. I have a bathroom with an overhead light - never use it. Overhead light is unflattering if you care about such things. Showers are a different story and can benefit from a light.

Having lived with code outlets - 12 feet is usually fine. More important to specify particular locations for lamps and electronics. What else do you need outlets for anyway? Outlets are ugly - don't over clutter with them.

Interesting foreign perspective. In England, it appears to be code to have no outlets or switches in a bathroom. We were in a modern condo with neither. Had to reach outside to turn on lights. Hair drying done in the hall. And it was more than one place we stayed.

A creative lighting plan incorporates three types of lighting, often in the same major public spaces: 1) Ambient lighting; 2) Task lighting; and 3) Accent lighting. Do some creative thinking and analysis to see if these are possible and included in all of your major spaces.

A lighting plan is always based on the fixture, furnishings and equipment plan. If one doesn't know where the seating and the TV/stereo will go, then stop the electrical/lighting plan until the decisions are made. Same for FFE in dining, bedrooms, etc.

Never enter or leave a major public space without switches (or better, rheostats) to turn on and off lighting fixtures.

Always use rheostats to control major lighting in the main public spaces.

Never put a light fixture in the center of the ceiling in a major public space. Fans are another matter, if one lives in a hot, humid region.

Always include the exterior in your lighting plan. Low voltage fixtures on a timer are always a good investment.

Good luck on your project.

We have cans in our kitchen currently that we rarely use. We depend on the under cabinet lighting. That said, an island cannot have under cabinet lights...I,m vexing most about the island and task lighting as the current choice for pendants use candle lights (4-6) 60w cands or led. There are 3 sconces over the windows in the kitchen.

Noted about pot between stairs and dining.

In the living room there are 2 wall outlets and 2floor outlets. I'm considering a ceiling fan.

Outside holiday lights-noted.

Weve added exterior security lights to the east and west.

How would you handle the kitchen island task vs ambient lighting?

On my iPad I can click on the plan and ten expand if that helps to see.

There does appear to be an exterior outlet on the front porch....I'm don't think I see one one in the portico. Switches...isn't there one at the top of the stairs from the foyer? I'm not quite sure what those switches 'do' however.

"...How would you handle the kitchen island task vs ambient lighting?..."

Definitely task lighting for islands and counter tops. Fixtures could be a range of types which throw illumination directly down on the island and counter tops, ranging from recessed or surface mounted cans to pendants which throw light downward. For counter tops with upper cabinets, under upper cabinet lighting fixtures also work well.
