Visual Comfort Kitchen Island Pendants

Depends on island length. For a 120 cm island, one medium pendant (35-45 cm diameter) centered. For 180 cm, two pendants spaced 75-80 cm apart and 15 cm from each end. For 240 cm or more, three pendants or a single linear suspension. The linear option is the easiest to align and visually cleanest for long islands.

Hang the bottom of the pendant 75-90 cm above the countertop. For 8 ft (2.4 m) ceilings, stay on the lower end. For higher ceilings (2.7-3 m), 85-90 cm works. Visual Comfort pendants ship with adjustable cords or rod sets, your electrician sets the exact drop during install.

Both work but for different reasons. A single large pendant (50 cm+) gives concentrated task light directly below and is visually cleaner. A row of small pendants (20-30 cm each) gives wider light distribution and a more casual look. For pure task light, single. For atmosphere and presence, row.
