So, we have one light left to be mounted. We were planning on 2 to be over the sink but unfortunately there's a beam on the right side of the sink. What's everybodys opinion on how to do one light over a non-centered sink and window?

The window is 74" wide and 1'8" from the corner. We're planning a blind corner unit in the corner and then a 36" sink cabinet. We can either center the light over the sink or within the window.

Any thoughts?

I'd center it over the sink, for functionality. Otherwise you'll cast shadows right where you need to work!

Can we look at your light choices? I might have a different answer if it's a pendant vs. a long light bar.

It was going to be 2 recessed lights... but now we're thinking aboutsome track lighting. I'm going to have to research what kind - does somebody has a recommendation?
