My kitchen is really dark with very little natural light. Is there anything better than a strip light?
It has an flourecent strip light which really helps. But it spoils the look of my nicely decorated and fitted Kitchen. Is there a more attractive looking light fitment I could get that would give off a better brighter lighting?
Fluorescent is definitely the best light for a kitchen, it gives an even shadow less light and is incredibly energy efficient. There are some attractive options in fluorescent lighting, you don't have to stick to the 'garage' type fitting. http://www.telbix.com/telbixaustralia_zurich.html
would look nice in a modern kitchen

this is just gorgeous, a little more pricey but uses T5 technology
which gives an even brighter light than standard (T8 or T12)
fluorescent. The wall mounted fitting on that link can be ceiling
mounted, and the suspended fluoros would look great over an island bench or breakfast bar.
To give more light on a work space try under cabinet lighting.
I recommend T4 or T5 linkable tubes mounted on the wall side of the
cabinet. They are very inconspicuous and will give an even shadow less light. Not too expensive, and you don't have to cut into your cabinet as you would to recess halogen lights. (I find surface mounted halogen lighting looks like a pimple on a pumpkin).

If you want to use halogen make sure its 12V (gives a whiter, brighter light) and recess it!

Just remember halogen burns far hotter than fluorescent.
Finally,
3 small pendents suspended over a bench looks fantastic-
this is one of my favorites-
