Pendant Lights

Choosing pendant lights

Pendants do their best work in threes over an island, in pairs beside a bed, or singly above a reading chair. The spacing convention for an island is 24 to 30 inches between centres, with the outer pendants set in from the counter edge by about 12 inches.

Hang height is fixed by what is underneath. Over a kitchen island or dining table, the bottom of the shade sits 30 to 36 inches above the surface — low enough to pool light, high enough to see across.

Shade material changes the light more than the bulb does. Hand-blown glass throws light in every direction and suits a dining table; a solid brass or steel shade pushes it straight down, which is what a worktop wants.
