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.

Option 4. I would not have more than 2 different cabinet finishes. Darker, grounded look for the base and island, with lighter, airier look for the uppers would balance the room.

Hey Aleen, It is rather dark but it looks really pretty. Until you redo the kitchen, here are a few suggestions! Paint the lower cabinets white since they are sandwiched between two dark surfaces Paint the upper ones a beautiful pastel sage (I love you colour options BTW, the mushroom and sage sound blissful) and mushroom grey (really really REALLY light) on the walls You can lay down a light coloured and thin outdoor rug on the floor to make the space lighter add plants to liven up the space (could be faux!) Lastly, the little sliver of the wall on the left is a bit of an eyesore. Try painting it over (black or sage green) and if it doesn't look nice (I have my doubts) then hang something there, like a faux plant, or some other kitchen decor item. Let me know if you need suggestions for that. I'll have to do some deep-dive research for that. all the best! If you can, share the finished pictures! Miloni

Thanks sir for the suggestion. But will brown acrylic sheet won't be very dark in comparison to already ply applied in lower cabinets
