Default Kitchen lighting

We've a small kitchen in an extension, approx 3x2m, it's about to be
gutted and we're looking at lighting options.

I'd stick a 5 foot LED striplight in it but that's not going to get past
managaement,she's talking about spots.

I'm not a fan of spotlights, i've never felt like they fill an area with
light. Am I wrong, are some better than others?

General lighting opinions appreciated.



For non-spotlight, google "sylcircle", made by Sylvania. Plenty of reviews.

CPC sell them cheaper than Screwfix. You'll want warm white for viewing
food, and probably 12W would be sufficient if you have white cupboards
and surfaces, or go for 18W. I've got a light gray room twice that size
with the 12W, but I don't make food there (just eat).

12W = 800lm
18W = 1100lm
