Don't have a photo, but our peninsula has a ceiling fan with a light (modern style, not builders' grade-- see Minke Air, I think was the company). We wanted to maximize the days we could keep the AC off in summer as part of trying to conserve energy. We hardly ever use the light as the ambient light from our LED cans is plenty. We have been very happy with it. We knew that we were more focused on function than form, though-- I imagine that to lots of people, it would look like a pendant opportunity missed.

What about something like this?

Thanks for the feedback, Waterdamage! I know pendants are the norm, but I was thinking that doing LED cans or a flushmount might help open up the space a bit since our opening isn't huge. Good to hear that they have great output!

LL- oh, man, that is sooo tempting!!

I have one like LL posted. It was one electrical connection and we needed to economize on upcharges at that time because the gc was killing us on installing things. I am not in love with the particular one we got, but want to replace it someday with a similar single fixture that is wider but not as low as ours.

We have cans over the peninsula and our little island, instead of pendants or anything that hangs down. We did not want anything to block the focal point -- the mantle over the cooktop. FWIW -- Amy

Here's a pic:

My all time fav.
This would look amazing over a penninsula.

Dianalo-- Do you find that a low one is in the way if someone is standing to do prep and talking to the people seated on the other side? I've had that concern. Good point on the cost savings of one vs. two electric boxes. I hadn't thought on that.

Amy-- blocking a focal point (window) was my concern, too. I do like the look of what you've done. (Great kitchen)

Lisa- What a great clean fixture! I love so many of their lights. :)

We just have recessed lighting. Very happy with no pendants.

I have a small kitchen with a tiny peninsula. I chose to
go without lights. Below is mine and below that are others
that I thought you might enjoy as you plan your space.

The peninsula is not a kitchen prep area unless it is for a large party or other reason we are unusually spread out. It is in a foot from the edge and high enough that no one's head would touch it, even if they came close. I hope to one day install an arch of glass cabs on the peninsula, so needed a placeholder. I thought the size would work to give a little separation to not have the full kitchen in open view from the front door.
I'd prefer something less clunky than ours which has 3 down lights and 2 uplights and is somehow wrong for our space.
I have my heart set on something like one of these. I'd pull any of them higher up than shown:

Sochi- WOWza! No wonder you're happy! That's a fabulous space!

Circuspeanuts- Great call on the space. I love that corner sink.

Boxerpups- I think that's the first pic of seen of your kitchen. Love it! A couple of those had the same size bar as what we're planning. Seeing the small ones really helped. I'm feeling better now about not using a hanging light(s).

Dianalo- Wow, what show-stoppers those are! I can see why you'd want a fixture there. I like a kitchen that's hidden upon entry of the house, too.

I just got pendants over my 60" peninsula yesterday and I wish I'd skipped them altogether. They're not really blocking the view. If I had an island, it might be different, where the light would flow out equally to the sides. Instead, the one closer to the wall is lighting it up too much. I wish I'd put in cans instead. I just had my ceiling retextured, so I have to think this one through a bit. Also, I think one mid-size pendant would have been better in the space than two minis. Hindsight. Sigh.
