The Electrician installed our can lights. using p87 boxes??? I think they are 5".

We asked him where they should go... really No help...we were going to go down the middle of isle. BUT-- our kitchen has NO natural light and the cabinets will be cherry (medium stain) so kind of dark. So I wanted it to have some light on it. I will have under cabinet and lights in the top double cabinets. Since the cabinets/crown go to the ceiling--and they are 9 foot ceiling...have I screwed up by having them hold 24" off of upper cabinets around the perimeter of the cabinetry....DID I SCREW UP>>> does it need to be moved to between 12 - 18" ???? That's what I am reading online???? HELP-- am I going to have to change this...need to know ASAP before drywall in a few weeks
