Judge the fixture by the lamp it uses, not the physical size. All
manufacturers will have photometric charts to show what the proper spacing
should be. If you are pleased with a particular lamp type, then use it in
the kitchen. I personally like Halo brand and find them reasonably priced.
In kitchens I have always arranged the fixtures 26 inches out from the wall
over counter top areas. This spreads the light well over the counter top and
into the room and prevents shadows while you are working

Which recessed lights 4" or 5" are most suitable for kitchen with 8'
ceiling? How far should they be spaced apart? I read 32" from the wall
is an optimal distance for the recessed lights. I visited HomeDepot
today and found they have Halo and Commercial Electric recessed lights.
I used only Halo 6" throughout my house and do not have any complains.
Commercial electric seems to be cheaper then Halo. Is it good brand?
