I think i need under cabinet lighting. Suggestions?
Comments (14)The recessed lights are in the correct position along the perimeter of the counter top edge but you need double the qty. I agree that the island light, while attractive, doesn’t provide task lighting for the island. Are the bottoms of the upper cabinets recessed? Could you add LED strips without them being visible or are the cabinet bottoms flush with the doors? If the bottoms are flush you could router slimline LEDs into the cabinet floors so they aren’t visible when standing at the counter....See MoreNeed design help for above medicine cabinet vanity light dilemma

Comments (1)The distance between the vanity and the wall is ( 77.5" - 73" ) / 2 = 2.25" The centerline of a sink is ( 17.5" / 2 ) + 7" + 2.25" = 18" from the wall. If you center a 24" mirror over the sink you will have 18" - ( 24" / 2 ) + 2.25" = 8.25" between the mirror and the wall. If centered, you'd have a sconce 8.25" / 2 = 4.125" from the outside edge of the mirror. You will have 77.5" - ( 8.25" x 2 ) - ( 24" x 2 ) = 13" between the mirrors. If centered between the mirrors, you'd have a sconce 13" / 2 = 6.5" from the inside edge of a mirror. "I would like to use a recessed mirrored medicine cabinet on top of each sink, with sconces on each outside side of the mirror and one in the center, between the two mirrors." That won't work. Put a light over each mirror. (Check calculations.)...See MoreLighted medicine cabinets. I'll need more light than that, right?
Comments (11)I'm hoping those sidelights provide enough light. I got a round backlit mirror thinking "moon" when dim and that I could brighten it so I could have the light I needed. Well, it wasn't enough. I did have a beautiful moonlight effect for a calming shower, but now the new side lights are too bright for that effect. So sad. One thing to look for is heating for the mirror so it doesn't fog up. Mine had only a dinky little square inside the moon. Looks dumb but better than nothing....See MoreRelated Professionals
