speaking from own experience. thats not enough.
you need lights from the cabinets too.
the work top is too dark due to shadow from cabinets.

like this example:

oh ya, will have T5 below the top cabinet (the one on the right hand side)

the cabinet on the left hand side will be tall cabinet with fridge

actually i'm thinking to put the 6" downlight but worry that it might look too big for the small area  hmm.gif

thanks

just my sugestion, again, use 4 or maybe 6 smaller downlights instead.
those 3 large downlights will cause ugly shadows.

ya looking for CRI 80 based on the advices from the bosses here  tongue.gif

btw i see a brand called Pila which based on the specs has the CRI 80 but pricing is lower than Ledvance/Philips. Not sure if anyone has the experience with this Pila brand? reviews on lzd/shp seems positive

thanks

never worked with this Pila brand before. I only trust older brands because I lazy to change bulbs regularly.
