The customer approached Windward Construction with a request to update the lighting in the kitchen. The existing lighting was a surface mounted wooden box with three fluorescent fixtures inside of it. The customer complained about the quality of light and the fact that it had been falling apart, knocking him on the head!
The customer asked Windward Construction about different lighting options. Ideas were brought up which included undercabinet lighting, above cabinet lighting and recessed canister lighting for the ceiling. It was determined that canister lighting was to be installed and the lay-out and designed was discussed. Below you will see the proposed install which is approved by customer before any actual installation begins.
The customer approved the installation and the work began. During the course of the work, a section of drywall was removed in order to drill through the joists and install wiring necessary to connect the lighting to the existing switch leg. It was discovered that existing ductwork prevented the installation of recessed canister lighting above the peninsular countertop. Instead, pendant lights were installed on a separate switch (which was fished in to existing switch box with no additional drywall damage) and existing 3-gang box was removed and replaced with 4-gang box to accommodate new switch for pendants. Dimmer switches were installed on all new lighting.
