How many pendant lights with 10ft island?

3 years ago

I have a 10ft by 4ft island in an open concept kitchen. We have 10ft ceilings. I would like two oversized pendants (maybe 24inch wised). Is this enough? Builder says I need 3.

Go with 3, unless the 24" pendants cast a very bright/wide light. Spaced correctly, I think 3 would look more balanced on an island spanning 10', with little liklihood of casting shadows. Try suspending cut up boxes over your island to better visualize 2 vs. 3 lights.

I agree with Ms. Colwell re: non paper shades in a kitchen. Too much potential for grease/dust meaning almost impossible to adequately clean. Glass or metal shades are better choices for kitchens that incur heavy cooking/baking.

Depends on your fixtures. If you are getting big fixtures, you probably only want 2. If you are getting smaller ones, get 3.
