What do you guys use for lighting your kitchen ?

8 x 60W incandescents in two (oil-rubbed bronze) fixtures which point the
bulbs at around 45 degrees to the horizontal. They give a nice even light
around the kitchen, and the heat's handy at this time of year

There's another single-bulb fixture in one corner of the kitchen
above some worktops which I've never even tried since moving in, and
another bulb built into the cooker hood which gets used quite often when
someone's actually standing there.

The walls are white emulsioned.

We did ours in a fairly-dark sandy-red colour, but our counter-tops are
almost white - we want to re-do the cupboards and counters sometime, but
I think we might replace counters with white marble; the light colour
seems to work well, whilst the darker walls cut down on glare from the
lighting.

I am seriously thinking of going full circle and going back to a
fluorescent fitting.

I'm not quite sure if I like the light - too white and clinical,
somehow...
