| I have a galley kitchen 15 feet long by 10 feet wide. We put 6 6" cans in 3 on each side and 2 4"cans over the sink. the 6" cans are in "6 pack" formation. I don't feel the 6" cans are doing it. My first light off the wall is 44" and the wall looks very dark the others are spaced at 48" apart. I am thinking of adding (2) more 6" cans.
I could get the first cans about 25" off the wall which I feel will put some light on the wall but the spacing will not be even due to the vent for the hood running to the outside. There is a 36" door opening on the left and the kitching opens again on the right. spacing would be as follows left to right: 25" from wall to Can 1, then 48" to Can 2, then 32.5" to can 3, then 48" to Can 4, then 25" to the wall. The 2 smaller lights are the 4" cans over the sink, the stove is on the opposite wall from the sink

| Do you have wall hung upper cabinets? If so, the can at 25" could be rather close. I started around 30". I would space them out as evenly as possible, limited by structural obstructions in the ceiling. |
