I'm glad to hear people are liking the puck wafers. I was concerned they would look cheap but maybe in overthinking it like I have with everything in this kitchen

The guys are great labor and will do anything I ask but that puts me in the position of being the default design idiot who missed something major so I stay awake at night going over and over it.

Honestly y'all gave me 2 great suggestions I wouldn't have thought about.. The hidden outlet strips and the spigot behind the coffeemaker.

I guarantee that spigot will get used every single day while the wife's stove filler maybe once or twice a week.

ETA my wife has the design in her head.. I'm just the one making sure everything will fit and electrical, vent pipe and plumbing are in the right places. She could care less about those things.

The slim wafers are so simple and if something goes wrong, you just plug and play a new one. The junction boxes have slots to feed wires to connect wires to one another. GE wafers have clips that you slide into the hole and release. They’re much less of a pain than a traditional recessed can.

That being said, whatever you buy for recessed wafers, stick to that brand and style only. You can’t just change out LEDs like you would with a light bulb. Without Bluetooth, the wafers I have come in warm white. I set them to daylight on the GE Cync app. I’ve seen some wafers that give you the ability to switch between cool, warm, and soft white.
