Important notes

Check cabinet doors, splashbacks, appliances, user sightlines, and shadowing at the task plane.
Australian standards may inform the planning boundary; this planner does not certify compliance.

Formulas

\(\displaystyle n = \max(1,\lceil(L-2E)/S\rceil)\)
\(\displaystyle y = D-D_c+O_f\)
Task lighting and ambient ceiling lighting are separate planning layers.

Place a task-light line along a kitchen bench and flag obstruction-related shadow risks.

Kitchen Task Lighting Layout Planner is a planning aid. Keep the target source, product data, measurement method, and project assumptions with the result. Confirm compliance, installation, certification, and safety decisions with the responsible professional.
