Pendant lights above island in kitchen with 8ft ceilings
Comments (3)there is no min for celing height for pendents.....i'd stick to the low volatge pendents they look much better also hang on a thin coax cable as compared to a thick rod or thick wire....check out some of the applacation shots at lbl lighting web site and tech lighting web site.....pm with any questions i'm a lighting designer so can help out.....remember that pendents hang about 2.5 ft off a counter top....just above eye level....See Moreisland hood vent + light fixture(s) over peninsu w/8 ft ceilings?
Comments (5)I was asking recently about a hood and small pendants (older thread). My solution involves the symmetry of two small pendants working with the hood. I like high-hats for their unobtrusive lighting, but my personal taste is to have something decorative providing some light and some style at the same time. I say yes, do a pendant. It's hard to visualize your space, but from the description I'm thinking a long bar light over the peninsula, and the hood over the island....See MoreWhat size lantern light over kitchen island 44inX100in w/8ft ceiling
Comments (1)Lanterns would be too bulky and oversized with a 96” ceiling. Smaller, clear pendants can provide accent lighting. But you will still need recessed to provide the bulk of your ambient and task lighting....See MoreWhat kind of light fixture over kitchen island with 8 ft ceilings?
Comments (11)You have good lighting now so I would be picky on this. that being said I would just remove that dome light in favor of another can. and yes they are everywhere. seems something was done out of order or after something else was changed. Can you post a picture looking at the length of the island or toward the window....See Morejmfromil
