Our lighting plan, and selection, was driven by budget... therefore, we opted to go with Halo recessed can lights and Lutron switches (courtesy of the Home Depot). We did splurge a little on the trim... instead of baffle, most of the fixtures will have an eyeball trim piece... we then can direct the light at artwork and such and get all archi-artsy-fancy-shmancy... class.
For recessed cans, Juno would have been the preferred choice, but it priced out at twice the cost... the ideal lighting plan involved hidden cove lighting (no one likes a swiss cheese ceiling), a few 3" halogen can fixtures, and a couple of pendants... however, that priced out at five times the cost... we had discovered long ago, when we first started renovating, that our 'ideal' plan/design will never be an option, so switching over to the el cheapo option wasn't too heartbreaking, although it did renew my motivation to play weekly Powerball.
Since there is still a lot of construction dust to be had (drywall, wood floors, etc.), the electrician put in some temporary switches... since the Lutron switches are somewhat pricey, better to preserve them a bit...
He also managed to locate a new mail holder for us too...
