Hi, I am in the final few laps on a good sized cherry hutch. I bought a pair of 20 watt xenon?? recessed lights. The hutch top is about 36″ door hgt, w/ glass shelves and glass doors. should I center the lights in the door glass and then center the light front to back, or bias the light back or to the front? Thanks, Dave

Dave..........
I like the idea of centering the lights above each door .......but keep them pulled forward............you want to light the front of the contents thru the glass shelves......not backlight them..........
If the doors are wide enought, then install two lights near the front. Use a touch control wired to an exposed hinge to switch the lights. If hidden hinges add a metal screw in a hidden area to control the lights.
