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.

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but I'd move the table or lower the ceiling. Somehow the idea of a 16 foot ceiling in a kitchen seems impractical to me. For one thing, it's just wasted space that you still have to heat and cool. Who or what is 16 feet tall? And I don't know about your kitchen ceiling, but mine needs pretty frequent cleaning. Scrubbing 16 feet up just doesn't appeal to me. But I guess if you can afford a house like that, you can afford to hire people to clean it. ;-)

Hi again! My island is 51" wide and 62" deep - the granite was actually just installed last night so now you can really see the lighting scenario! I think it would support only ONE of the basket weave pendants posted b/c that is 23" in diameter so I'd hang it really in the center. I think it could support two pendants of a traditional kind if they were between 10 and 20" in diameter, you know? I feel like I'm fighting the industrial pendant trend - and it's not because I don't like how it looks! It's just that everyone puts them in and they all look the same and in three years, something else will be the "everyone" option, you know? Can't decide now if the basketweave up there will bring in the pretty coloring and balance the granite, adding interest up in the air, OR detract. What do you think?

Our lighting could be a great addition to your home. We do custom lighting so we will be able to work to feed your needs and wants. Different amount/design/size of pendants, and size of canopy and overall fixture height etc. We also do 2D drawing before so you can have an idea of what it would look like before committing!
