What size pendants over 91"x52" Kitchen Island?
We are selecting finishes for our kitchen model. Our island is 91"x52" in a rather large room that looks out to the backyard through a Nanawall. Our Ceilings are ~8.5ft. We really like these pendant options (14" and 15") but are worried they will be too small. Should we be considering larger pendants for our island? Here is a quick mock up

Comments (18)You need pendants with chain. and EXTRA chain and wire. Or the fixture must come with a pivot and the ability for additional stem or customization on the light order.. . It would help to know the highest ceiling elevation. A 126 inch island is not HUGE. You need nothing close to an 82 inch single fixture. It will take OVER : ) Three pendants, forcing light down onto the counter would be just fine. No wider than 15 inches if three and no more than 18 to 20 if two. . You can augment with recessed as well....See MoreWhat size pendant lights over 9x3' kitchen island?
Comments (1)Kelley - you’ll probably get lots of input here :) - my island is 5x10 (so a bit wider and a tad bit longer) but my pendants are “tiny” - but they’re our style (modern) and I’m sure some would say they’re too small. I say pick what you like!...See MoreHow many and what size pendant lights should I use over my island?
Comments (3)Different goals come into play. Task lighting for when you work at the island counter requires 450+ lumens at the surface. The source should be placed so you don't shadow the work with your body. Ambient lighting is another objective. Recessed led cans on dimmers can do both. Pendants on dimmers or pendants and recessed lights can also do both. In addition, pendants can be decorative. Adequate task lighting is often missing in kitchen design....See More- PRO

The standard for Pendant lighting is 30 inches in-between each pendant with a height of 18 inches from counter top. You want to make sure its a t least 6 to 7 inches from the edge of island as well. That is standard but depending on the size of the pendant it will also effect the spacing as well if you stager them. We specialize in glass pendant chandeliers and offer FREE DESIGN SERVICES with all our products so we can do the hard work for you while you get exactly what you want, while just paying for the fixture.
