length of linear light fixture over dining table

last month

I really like this CB2 Silo light fixture, but the website says it’s 72.62" long. I’m wondering if that will be too long for our table that is 86.75” long.

The site lets you see the piece in your space I think thta one is better than the 3 light one I think I would do it if you love the light I like the proprtions of the heads better on the long one too.

I tried the virtual thing, but I couldn’t get it online up over the table correctly 😆 I also agree the 5 light looks so much nicer than the 3.

What size LINEAR pendant (length) for rectangular dining room table?

In our projects we see the linear pendants over the island broken up into several smaller pieces so that there isnt such a mass in a area that frequently has peolpe standing around it. An example of this would be on the 84" island I'd encourage our customer to use 3) 9-12" pendants. Laid out in the centerline of the islands width (60"), and then Divide the Length 84"/3. One set in the center of the length, and then the other two (1/3) of the length offset from center.

The lowest arm on that fixture is the "bottom". Sixty one ( 61 ) inches from the floor in your case, to the bottom and lowest arm of that light. ( 29 + 32 = 61) There ya go.

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.

It is a work in progress... I think you hit the nail on the head when you said it looks like I am aiming for a contemporary take on mid-mod. i want to replace the railing with a lucite or minimalist railing but replacing the railing is pricey. For the first 2 decades of my marriage we had to live very frugally and so our furniture were an eclectic mix of hand me downs with no style. Now that we thank God are able to afford to redecorate somewhat I am trying to happily indulge of years and years worth of suppressed personal style expression! However, we still need to budget so I need to pick and choose what to update and replace hence the initial non- streamlined appearance. I think ultimately I will get the cohesive look together but I need to be smart about it.

Math.......

rounded!! 87 minus 72 = 15"

Which means a mere 7.5 inches at both short ends, exposed. Possibly a head banger?!

It's not the ONLY linear light on the planet. A nice proportion? 54 inches to 60"

Keep shopping : )

I see Jans point about the head banging but maybe it will need to hang a bit highe than usual or you keep looking for one 60" long I do agree there are so many choices why this exact one at all. It is kind of boring

I read somewhere else that 6” on the ends was the minimum. Curious about the ratio that makes 54-60” ideal.
I like this one for the texture on the shades and the simplicity. I don’t want something that looks too ‘big’ and obstructs the view across the room. Especially since the kitchen is on the other side of the dining room (open across the whole space).

Minimum does not imply best! The ratio is simple math!

Math.......

rounded!! 87 minus 72 = 15"

Which means a mere 7.5 inches at both short ends,

The one I gave you is far better, and Less a kitchen look. and you can see straight through the middle......is a better proportion to the table and will leave 13.5 inches exposed either end.

As to minimums?!

Code for a toilet is 15 inches, soil pipe to a wall or obstruction.......doesn't mean that is super comfy or great. At all. It just means you probably won't skin an elbow : (

Sorry..far prettier here, jmo

or.........

or.......

or call the electrician , have two boxes, two pendants.!! separate from one another. Pretend the table is an island.......just lower at 30Inches, vs 36

Probably built-in bookcases and cabinets.

Thanks for the options!

What a beautiful room!

I think the black cone fixture is a great choice--3 rather than 4 fits better.

Another vote for the three black cones. Against that green fireplace place, it really makes it more eye-catching in a cool way!
