There are different opinions on whether there are special requirements for kitchen lighting. It seems do not requirement to specify what the kitchen lighting should have be. Unlike bathroom lighting, you must have a waterproof rating.
In fact, it depends on the specific situation.
Whether the suspended lighting or the downlight is also a controversial topic on the kitchen ceiling. The installation environment of the downlight will be simpler, the scope of illumination will be larger, and the height of the installation will be higher.
However, the premise of installing the downlight is that the roof is not flat and can be recessed.
And why do people like to use suspended ceiling light in the kitchen, it will be closer to the light source, more clear, and the decoration of the chandelier plays a decorative role.
I suggest that if the kitchen is enough large and the dining table is used in the kitchen, the suspended lighting can be used in combination with the recessed downlight.
One more thing, the luminaire above the sink should take into account the waterproof function.
Illumination under the cabinet above the counter is a real need to help eliminate the shadows when working on the counter surface. The choice of color temperature and luminaires is a question worth exploring. Some people tend to requirement different color temperature in the kitchen and family rooms, and a dimmer is needed. Maybe it is not necessary, the current lamps support adjustable color temperature.
If it is for roofs and walls, LED batten are also a good choice. Flexible LED batten cover the roof and walls! It may be better to use low-bay lighting, which can emit good light from a small area, of cource it does depend on the size of the kitchen. Wall lights in specific areas can also be very effective, but you need to consider the required entry protection.
As for materials and colors, walls are warm - colored tiles, choose 2700K, if it is granite and stainless steel, then the color temperature may be 4000K. According to the data, most of them tend to have a color temperature of 3000K.
