Here are a couple of ideas.
Move the light fixtures to the top of your cabinets. I did this when I remodeled our kitchen. The light is a softer indirect light.
Eventually we added under cabinet task lighting. The first version was small florescent fixtures. They were replaced by 12v LED strip lights. The light is much more even with less heat.
I would rotate them 180 degrees and replace them with LED's which give better light. Check out Home Depot they have very attractive LED's at very reasonable prices.
Consider replacing one of them with a 3-light type of fixture (short drop down depending on space) that will add to your kitchen decor and hopefully you can remove the other one. I love skylights and it is a shame to distract from yours.
Try some track lights.
Like Danielle said you can replace them with track lighting and patch any holes that the new lighting doesn't cover up.
Thanks!
Thanks for all your suggestions and ideas. Much appreciated!
Love the track light idea because it will cover the area alreadyy covered by the current ones, or patch, paint and relocate track lighting. My husband took them out of my mother and father's kitchen and relocated them into the dark garage. Then put in canned lights in the kitchen, but that's a whole new project!
