I love the beautiful art glass minis, but I've seen a few too many of them and they don't really work in my large, mission style space. But I wanted something with some color and impact, a tradtional but unusual look. So I'm going with these: There's a matching 4 light as well. Cross shopped several sites, best price was at brightspot, link below. Here is a link that might be useful: brightspot

I highly recommend LED bulbs; we have about 100 3.6W MR16-style LED bulbs in our house in 3" mini-can housings, all at about 4500K (neither warm nor cool white). Each gives about as much light as a 35-40W halogen bulb. Our 19 x 21' kitchen has 15 for general lighting, plus the following task lighting: 4 over our 13' counter with main sink; 8 over our 5 x 9' main island; and 4 over our 3'3" x 9' small island. The 72" wide range hood came with ten 40W PAR20 bulbs but light a 9' wide area including range and landings; we'll be replacing the 40W bulbs with 5W dimmable LED bulbs. This is a good amount of light, not too much, not too little. Well, in the range hood area 50W of LED bulbs (equivalent to about 500W of halogen lights) is actually too much light but it's dimmable, not that my wife will use any setting but MAX. (There are also 10W LED bulbs available, but my wife has no self control when it comes to light and WILL burn out her retinas if I let her.) The standard medium base "Edison" bulb is not a form factor well suited to LEDs because while filaments (tungsten, halogen) are point sources and radiate in all directions, LEDs are VERY directional and have limited dispersion (15-60 degrees). Most LED medium base bulbs have more LEDs pointing outward with very few pointing up, some nearly exclusively point upward (downward in a pendant application). The distribution and "point" of the individual LEDs will affect whether the ambience (outward glow) or the task function (downward lumens) will work. Most pendant shades do have an inner white lining to even out the light distribution, and that will improve your downward light output for task lighting. LED color is tricky as well, as many are very cool white and won't give you that warm glow you expect from the pendant shade. A warm white (3000-3500K) bulb will give you the best ambience, whereas a pure white (4000-4500K) will give you the best task lighting. Another caution: pendants spaced too far apart look odd, but too close looks worse. I would recommend a spacing of about every 2-3'. Also, there should be ideally 3, or 4 max. Slimmer/smaller ones can be spaced a little closer and you can have more of them and still look fine. There are metallic shades (if modern works for your kitchen) that will give you a lot more task lighting.

GREAT idea!! When I saw this I could not figure out where I would have canned lights that would make sense for pendants. I would never put lights in the wood work like in the picture. We used four sconces, two on each side instead. But I do have a kitchen light that needs to be lower and that window needs the interest as I don't have it curtained at all.

At the very least, take them down, take them apart, ad clean them using mild soap and lots of rinsing in fresh water. Replace any sockets and any hanging wire you can. Salt water is VERY corrosive, and salt left behind will pull moisture form the air and continue eating away at things. Solid brass can take a decent polishing. Brass plated steel (magnet sticks) cannot take much polishing or corrosion. You can use tinted lacquer tinted to cover up some damage.
