need pendant lighting advice
Comments (7)I absolutely do not think so. many who will post after me will probably say that it isnt enough and that you should have 3 of that size. I have a 26x57 approx island and I have 2 drum shade pendants which are about 7 inches in diameter and they seem perfect to me, but I could have had at least up to 10 inches in D. Depending on what you put in there for wattage, you are just fine. I know there is a general rule about how much lighting per footage on islands, but I am not up on all that. If it looks balance, thats what I think is important. ps: you are talking the shade/globe part is 6 inches, right?...See MoreSeeking advice on kitchen island pendant lighting
Comments (0)I am doing a kitchen remodel which will increase our kitchen size (going from galley style to a U-shape with an island. Proposed layout from the cabinet builder is attached (I penciled in the bar top and I put circles where the cans approximately will fall). The island is sized to be 64" x 83" -- a prep sink in one corner and seating (15" knee spacing) on opposite sides of the sink. This puts the bar top off center of the bases. My wife has a preference of a particular 6" pendant. My questions are: 1) Do I install 2 or 3 pendants? (two looks too far apart for the 6" pendants -- three looks too close together at times to me) 2) Do I put the pendants on center of the bar top or on center of the base? Center of the base will put the pendants on the kitchen/food prep side, but I worry about symmetry. Your thoughts and recommendations are appreciated! If you need additional information or have thoughts outside of the two questions, I would appreciate them! Thank you!...See MorePendant lighting shade replacement
Comments (2)I can't really make out how the globes attach to the fixture from the pictures. Normally I would think a washer inside the globe would work, but that doesn't look possible with the new globe. But, I think that you could attach a washer, if you can find one that is large enough yet has the opening size that you need, to the top of the globe. Maybe something brass so it looks like it should be there. You would need a very strong, permanent adhesive, something like JB Weld....See MoreWhat size pendant light for my remodeled master bathroom?
