Please Recommend an Island Hood
Comments (0)I need an island hood for over my 36" KA DF range. Must be low profile and at least 600 CFM. I had planned on using the Zephyr Milano as I liked the low profile and glass. The view is towards the dining area and beyond that overlooking the pond and the ducks and the woods. However, the pendant lights that will hand on either side of the hood will have Scavo glass as pictured below. The metal will be in a pewter finish instead of what is shown. I need to find a vent hood soon, and I thought I had already found my dream. http://www.homeannex.com/prodView.asp?idProduct=184456& Here is a link that might be useful: sconce is very close to this only in pewter...See MoreAnother rec light??? Please recommend a good 3' or 4' rec light
Comments (1)You are looking for 120V GU10 fixtures not MR16. MR16 are a low voltage bulb. Is the ceiling insulated or not? High quality housing, small in height (4 1/4",) and the trim diameter is small (3 3/8")can be found at www.twicebright.com. In particular look at the 120V recessed fixtures here: http://twicebright.com/120v/index.asp Hope that helps....See MoreMono task lights - please recommend your favorite
Comments (13)Pipdog, Tech Lighting also has regular line voltage heads that mount to individual "power jacks". According to the website the Power Jack Canopy mounts directly to a ceiling junction box to power a compatible Power Jack head. Each Power Jack element can be used up to its specified wattage. This product can mount to either a 4" square electrical box with round plaster ring or an octagon electrical box.For ceiling mount only. This is what it looks like. (Sorry for the huge picture) They have some LED heads and some incandescent ones for those power jacks. You can get the heads in 6 or 12 inch lengths. Here's an LED one that is quite small. The head itself is only 3.4"x4.8". It's called the Fokis. I didn't look up the price. I have some Tech pendant lights in my kitchen that I love. Tech makes high quality products....See MoreNeeding recommendations for Island Lighting
Comments (11)Hi britnim- It is lovely! I can't tell, is it open all over, or does it have glass on the top and sides and is just open on the bottom? What is it's maximum width, and the maximum wattage? How long is the island, and how high is the ceiling? You need to know that, so you can figure out how many of those you would need to get enough illumination over your counter, and will the fixtures width allow for sufficient space between each one and still look good. I think you would need three, don't you? To plan out the spacing over the counter you can use a computer program (and I have no idea how to do that) or just do it on a piece of graph paper. Check out this article- https://blog.yaleappliance.com/how-many-pendants-do-you-hang-over-a-kitchen-island Aesthetically, it is gorgeous! It looks like jewelry! Next question, does the same store have a fixture in the same family for your den? Maybe something also with angles and open like that? If you look at the third picture of Komma hem above, the fixtures over the island and the one in the den are so, so different, it looks weird! Also, do you need a fixture over the sink area?...See Moremcarroll16
