rail/track lighting for kitchen
Does anyone have suggestions for specific rail or track systems/
fixtures for lighting a kitchen? I am interested in replacing my current fluorescent fixture and installing a curved rail/track system (mainly for esthetic reasons), but I am concerned that it won't provide enough general light. I have seen some kitchens with track systems that look dark. It has been suggested that I use wall washer fixtures and fixtures with a metal interior to redirect light. The kitchen is 9-10 ft long and I do not need pendants. Also, I thought that a fixture with transformer that could be mounted anywhere would be best because the hole for the wiring is off-center in a concrete ceiling. That way, the track could be centered and the transformer could be placed slightly off to the side. I can't think of any other type of fixture that would address that irregularity with the wiring and still be centered in the room. Low voltage or line voltage? Halogen bulbs? Any suggestions on brands, types of systems, heads are greatly appreciated. Thanks. |
