Help with pendant lighting over island

3 years ago

Do you think we should add pendant lighting above the island? Any idea what style and how low they should be?

Help on decision pendant lights over island or over sink?

over the island i would rather see something like this, than individual pendants over the isalnd. for the sink, i would do one 'down' light. 3 to me is overkill and 2 will look 'weird'. are you installing under cab lights as well? with the undercab lights, it will help with the sink area. 'down' light another example(where all the light is down in your sink - none 'escaping' up or out of course get the fixture to scale with the space.

What kind of bulb is that ? It looks like Edison type light which BTW IMO is horrible everywhere and for sure to light an island . Post a pic in a comment here of your kitchen that is how you get help. I like the looks of the fixture but IMO an LED 4000K bulb is a must. But I need to see your space .

I dont see a power supply there, so if it needs to be added make two.

Otherwise, if you do one I would do one that has two downlights on it

You need forced light so something that directs the light down to the surface.

I like pendants b/c they add a little decor to the space. I think you should look through websites to see what appeals to you.
