Help! Does anyone have a solution?!

I'm struggling sorting out the lighting in our new kitchen. I'm looking for a suitable light/lights to put above the hob on our island. We're going to have a large island (2.3m by 1.1m) with the hob in the middle of the long length and a breakfast bar opposite it. We've chosen not to have an extractor fan so we won't get the light from there. Everything I read says to chose lights that have glass coverings so that you can clean them. I'm fairly obsessed with lots of light - and want lots of up-lights around the kitchen. For the island I need some task lighting that gives light, some interest, and is cleanable! Also do I need to put down-lights in the kitchen as well? (I want up-lights, strips under the cabinets, lights above the island and kitchen table (which is on the other side of our kitchen). The kitchen is about 40sqm.

I'm stuck and I'm getting embarrassed as the builders are waiting..... if you have any advice at all that would be fab!
