Hi Christine, I don’t have the measurements and we have since moved. I would guess it was about 6-7 feet long by 4-5 feet wide. I definitely think the recessed lights are a great idea. Good luck on your project!

PS. Sorry for the delayed response. I usually get comments via email and this one didn’t come through.

I am getting started on mine , & have 3 fluorescent lights about 8 “ apart & are placed horizontally 48” the width of my drop down ceiling. I have a galley kitchen . Your kitchen looks exactly like mine as far as placement of your refrigerator ,stove counters, cabinets & the drop down ceiling location. I love your light fixture, I was thinking I would either install 3 pendant lights to replace the fluorescents , or buy a semi flush mount similar to your style & put in 2 recessed lights on either side of my light fixture.

Hi Lori, thank you for the compliements. I agonized over a light for that very reason. The one I chose gives a decent amount of light. BUT it less light than the fluorescents that were there. Just for looks I may add 4-5 recessed lights and 2 pendant lights later on.

Beautiful job. I had the same thing done to my kitchen ceiling, and the depth of my box looks just like yours. I used A 4 light track lighting and I don’t like it. It isn’t bright enough and cast too many shadows. I’m really in a fix on what to do for bright lighting. Your choice of a ceiling fixture was beautiful, does it give off enough light? I’d love to know. As I said my kitchen is pretty much just like yours, and some of the lighting calls for four 60 bulbs watts. Not enough light. So frustrating! Hope you can help me!!!
Lori
