We recently pulled out the fluorescent light in our kitchen to replace it with an incandescent light fixture. Canned/recessed lighting is not an option since we are getting quotes of $1K+ and we don't want to spend that much right now. The problem we are having is that the first light fixture we put in was so bright (when we dimmed it, it was too dark) and it created a lot of shadows. So we replaced it with another light fixture, basically a flush mount light that takes 3-60 Watt bulbs with a white glass dome covering it. Again there is so much glare and too many shadows and the whole room has that orange glow. Does anyone have any suggestions on better light fixtures I can try? What are some different options out there that wouldn't involved cutting holes and rewiring the kitchen? The shadows and glares off of the fridge/cabinets are killing me. But the fluorescent light we had in there before was too dim and the light color was so drab. The one we just put in looks something like this:
