How to Choose Kitchen Pendant Lights
Kitchen pendant lights are a popular choice for island benches, breakfast bars, dining tables and open-plan living spaces. When choosing a pendant, think about how the fitting will relate to the size and shape of the surface below it as well as the other lighting already used in the kitchen.
The right kitchen pendant light depends on the size of the island or bench, ceiling height, suspension length, number of pendants, spacing, overall dimensions and the scale of the fitting. Checking the lamp type and dimming compatibility can also be useful if you want more control over the finished lighting.
