I'll assume you are asking about puck shape LED lights. Those typically have a slightly focused output compared to other lamping so I'd say they need to be spaced a little closer than normal. But that is offset by the greater than normal distance from countertop to underside of upper cabinets; the greater the distance the beam travels, the larger the cone of light expands. However, LED lights, which I do love, have a lower lumen output. Pucks generally put out 200 lumens which is the rough equivalent of a 25w incandescent. So you may need more of them to give you the cumulative lumens needed for task lighting. Lighting layouts are tricky and always site specific. So with my lack of knowledge of you cabinet run and needs, take this with a grain of salt. I would space them 18" and antipicipate using more than initially planned. Phew!!! After all that, I much prefer STRIP style LED lighting for under cabinet lighting. There operate on 12v or 24v transformers, can be dimmed with a electronic dimmer switch and their lumen output is based on a linear foot measurement of the strip. 24v systems are better as they put out around 240 lumens per linear foot. The main advantage of these is the even output of light across the space. These are awesome when you're doing a whole kitchen because each short stretch can be daisy chained so they are all on one circuit. If you're doing one small area, stay with pucks. Hope this helps.

Hi. Since you have such contemporary lines with the linear use of windows, I think your look is contemporary, but with so many windows, you still want a connection to the outdoors. My suggestion depends on whether you want to blend in with your surroundings, or make a statement. If you want to make a statement, I'd stay with a stark white, to contrast the sharp blue. Then use bluestone cut in a random pattern, to play off the blue roof, but keep an organic feel with the movement of the stone. If you want to blend in more with your area, then go with a mid-range gray color on the walls. It will tone down the contrast, and still stay contemporary. Not a dark charcoal, but not a dove gray. I attached a Gibraltar Gray from Lowes, or you might like a little lighter gray. Benjamin Moore has a bit softer gray: Cape May Cobblestone. Good luck! Please post your choices.

Hi Jignesh, Window grills are essentially made of metals such as mild steel sections, wrought iron sections and aluminium sections. Square, round or flat sections may be used in designing the grill as per the requirement and design. You can either keep it simple by giving just horizontal or vertical bars as equal intervals or give them an ornamental design. Here are a few examples - Aluminium grills are rust free, light weight and offers resistance to bending, breakage and fire. They go well with contemporary linear designs and need to be painted else they look pretty commercial and cheap for a household. Wrought iron is incomparable when it comes to strength. However, it is not rust resistant and needs frequent painting to protect it. The advantage of using wrought iron is that you can achieve a colonial look with a variety of designs it has to offer. But these come at a cost. Mild steel is a widely used material when it comes to window grills. It is both strong and durable and offers flexibility in design. But like other iron objects, it too possesses the susceptibility to rust. Hence, a regular touch up of paint is required for maintenance. Coming to the look of the grill - 1] Contemporary designs call for straight lines and geometric patterns. 2] Colonial patterns are more ornate and incorporate spindles and curves. 3] Traditional Indian grills are very subjective . You may add wooden railings at the bottom of straight bar grills or device a jali pattern to the grill to complete the look. 4] A Mediterranean or eclectic theme can be complemented with lattice grills like these. Hope these ideas help you. All the best! Regards, RnD Atelier Nagpur
