I think the idea will be different than the reality.

Yeah... The wife's getting what she thinks she wants, but it's not going to turn out to be what she actually wants.

Switch out those two cans for gambrel mounted wall washers and aim them at your shelves.

Those sconces over the shelves is going to look ridiculous.

I'm also voting no on the whole thing. I see ZERO point in such a downward direction only light right above a shelf. Those are the type of fixtures you'd put on a wall at least at head level or above, perhaps on either side of an entry door.

Mock up first!

The lights were delivered today and I got them all wired up / mounted and loaded with some Wi-Fi bulbs. Relatively simple install. My wife really loves the way it turned out and I’ve gotta say that I’m a big fan too … looks better than I thought it would IMO.

Also, I’m highly impressed with the Wi-Fi bulbs — the app is great and the scheduler is very configurable (I have them coming on daily and having the brightness adjusted multiple times per day before ultimately turning off at midnight).

If you like them that's all that matters .
