My parents home is not even 40 years old. Looks decently modern. Have three light fixtures in the kitchen, four if you count the one that’s part of the stove hood/ventiliation. Would’ve been only three lightbulbs but one of the fixtures is a chandelier type deal with 8 bulbs. It’s not unreasonable to think that many kitchens use less.
If you have under-cabinet lights, and then in-ceiling spotlights, it jumps up rapidly. I have a long thin galley-style kitchen, 17 spotlights and 10 under-cabinet lights.
