Pendant Placement from Island Bar Edge

Ashley Le
5 years ago

Hi everyone,


My fiancee and I are purchasing our first home and we would like some advice on the placement of our pendant lights by the builder.


We upgraded our electrical for two pendant lights above our kitchen island. When we took a ruler from the island to the center of the where the light would be mounted, we see that the lights would hang quite close to the edge of the island. This would certainly restrict us from having a large fixture as it would cause an overhang and may be uncomfortable for anyone sitting at the bar.


We want to know if it is normal to hang a light so close to the edge of the island and whether there is any code that speaks to this.


Below are some photos for reference. We know this is not the best way to check where the light will land but all we had was a tape measure on us.


Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help.


Ash
