Kitchen Recommendations & Buying Advice

What is the best lighting for a kitchen island?

Pendants over the island for the look, and something else doing the work. Two or three island pendants at 75 to 90cm above the worktop light the surface and anchor the room, but they will not light the whole kitchen. Add downlights or a track over the perimeter runs, and put the two on separate switches.
How high should pendants hang over a kitchen island?

75 to 90cm above the worktop to the lowest point of the fitting. That clears the tallest thing anyone puts on the island and keeps the bulb above the eyeline of someone standing at it. If people sit at the island on stools, go to the higher end so you can see across it to the person opposite.
How many pendants over a kitchen island?

Two on an island up to about 1.8m, three between 2 and 2.5m. Space them evenly with roughly 75cm between centres and keep at least 15cm in from each end, so the outer pendants do not look like they are falling off. On a very wide island, one large fitting can look better than three small ones.
What are the most common kitchen lighting mistakes?

Lighting the room and forgetting the worktop. If the only lights are in the middle of the ceiling, you stand between them and the counter and chop in your own shadow. The other two are using 4000K everywhere, which makes a kitchen feel like a shop, and putting the pendants on the same switch as everything else.
Should kitchen lighting be 3000K or 4000K?

3000K. It is crisper than the 2700K you would use in a living room, which helps at a worktop and keeps white units looking white rather than yellow, without the clinical blue-white of 4000K. Keep 4000K for a garage or a utility. Whatever you choose, use the same figure for the downlights, the pendants and the under-cabinet lights.
Do kitchen downlights need to be fire rated?

Yes, wherever they cut into a ceiling that separates floors or forms part of a fire compartment, which covers most kitchens with a room above. A fire-rated downlight restores the ceiling's fire resistance around the hole it makes. Under a cold loft the rules differ, but fire-rated is the sensible default and a qualified electrician will confirm it.
Are pendant lights over kitchen islands going out of style?

No, though the style of pendant has moved. Large statement single fittings and slim linear bars have taken ground from the row of three small domes that dominated for a decade, and warmer metals have replaced brushed steel. The idea of marking the island with light is a practical one, not a trend, and it is not going anywhere.
