Task light alone makes kitchens harsh. How to layer luminous planes for cooking, dining, and evening wind-down.
Open-plan kitchens cook, host, and linger. Specify task for counters, ambient for the room field, and a soft accent for the dining edge. Ribbon Recess often carries the ambient horizon.
Cool under-cabinet strips without a warm field feel like a lab. Keep ambient at 2700–3000K and let task sit slightly cooler only where prep demands it.
Trade note: Sample on site after sunset whenever possible, Highveld and coastal evenings shift how bins feel.
