Amazing How Far Above Island Should Pendants Hang

Decorative Lanterns I used these check the current price here.

How far above island should pendants hang. In a larger kitchen an island light covers the middle of the room and ensures safe food prep. For multiple pendants above a dining table we recommend hanging them about 26 to 28 inches apart. Ultra-earthy tones oak cabinets and more were everywhere.

My pendants are hung just over 24 inches apart and set in 12 inches in from the edge of the ends of the island. If you read elsewhere that LED T8s must be shut off for a few hours a day that may apply to certain LEDs but not the LED T8 Tubes we sell at our web store. 03 467 Final day and night on the island bring surprises.

Having LED T8 tubes on 24 hours a day means you will reach your payback point faster far less energy cost each day the longer they are on. Love this pendant light fits perfectly over my kitchen table. But dont let this discourage you if you have a small kitchen.

You can have an island as small as 40 by 40 inches while still maintaining practicality. Typically you will hang them somewhere between 24 inches to 30 inches apart depending on the total length of your island. If you have a 30-inch cooktop go with a 36-inch island hood.

Four 1920s pendants hang over the kitchen sink and between them and the decorative range hood there is too much going on in my medium sized kitchen to allow for pendants over the island. A stainless steel island hood would need a minimum of 30-inch clearance above the cooking surface with 36 inches for a wood hood. What other lighting considerations should I keep in mind.
