Kitchen pendants over a counter: How big and how many?

Measure your island width and subtract 12 from that total

So if it measures 80cm your max diameter should be 68cm

Then for arranging the correct amount across your space allow a space of 60cm to 76cm between your fittings.

For the length required, rule of thumb is 213cm from the floor or 70-90cm above the counter – here you can decide which is more visually appealing to you.

This will provide you with a professional and well thought out lighting layout.

The height of a dining room light is usually 60cm to 90cm above the table.

This ensures you have enough light across the surface while not intruding your line of sight
