Low Profile Lights for Above Cabinet?
Which are the best lights to buy to light my kitchen with over the counter lighting? I need them to be low profile as I've had a heck of a time trying to find stain to match my cabinets for moulding to cover the existing lights. They also need to be bright enough to light up the kitchen. I was also thinking of going under the cabinet but I'm afraid the lights won't be bright enough to light INSIDE the cabinets. I do however have a fan with a light that hangs from the ceiling.

- Dearest, It's very difficult to imagine the type of lighting that will hide uneven colors, light up the kitchen, but placed on, within or under your cabinets, without seeing your kitchen. Might I suggest you take some pictures of your kitchen and take them to your local lighting store. The staff should be able to guide you in the right direction. For example, in our kitchen we have 6 types of lighting for various uses and purposes. This is probably what you will need...a mix of solutions.
- I just did this very project. Lowes has these small recess lights that are about 2 inches round. I put a few over my cabinets and they look great. It lights up the area around the counter great. We also have a larger recessed light over our sink and a ceiling fan with lights in the middle of my room. Go to your local Lowes or Home Depot. These lights come in sets of two or four and are inexpensive. Someone will just need to know the electric side to install them.
