We're trying to figure out where to place and how to space our 4" LED cut-in recessed lights (750 lumens each):

The kitchen has lowish ceilings (8 ft) so we don't want it looking too much like swiss cheese since it's somewhat in your upper eye line. However, we obviously want it functional. Our understanding is that the 'sweet spot' for placement of recessed lights is over the countertop edge so we tried to maintain that. We also have two pendants (Rejuvenation 18" Butte) split over a long island/peninsula (a little over 9.5 feet)

Here are some renders so you can better visualize the space:

What are your thoughts? Would you make any alternate suggestions?

One thing we want to work around is the range hood. The range hood insert is fairly deep, so in effect it will come out nearly to countertop depth, which is why we didn't want to place a light centered over range (since it would basically just be shining on the front face of the range hood and nothing else.

Also note, we are planning undercabinet lighting on the two wall cabinets that sit on either side of the range to provide some additional task lighting to those countertops.

Thanks for your input!
