SHOP KITCHEN ISLAND PENDANT LIGHTS AT ZEST LIGHTING
Kitchen island pendant lights come in many designs and with particular purpose of illumination. They can either be for task lighting, general lighting, accent lighting or decorative lighting. The type of illumination that you will need from your kitchen pendants will depend greatly from the available lighting you already have in your kitchen.
TYPES OF KITCHEN ISLAND PENDANT LIGHTING
- General Lighting Pendants: Also known as ambient pendant lights, these pendants provide the basic light that illuminates the whole kitchen space, rather than targeting a spot.
- Task Lighting Pendants: These pendants illuminate a targeted area to help you see clearly while working. The kitchen is a work space, so make sure you have the right lighting in the right spots to enable you to work safely. They are typically hung above kitchen islands as row lights.
- Accent Lighting Pendants: Accent pendant lights create a focal point by drawing the eye to a particular object. They are basically a piece of jewellery for your kitchen where you can have a little fun, and design is more of a factor rather than ambient or task lighting. It can be used to highlight architectural features like a coffered ceiling or arches, or artwork and special collections on display.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST KITCHEN PENDANT LIGHTS: SIZE, COLOURS, STYLES, AND INSTALLATION OPTIONS
With so many versatile pendant lighting options, you may have a hard time choosing just one. So how do you choose the best kitchen pendant for your space? You can start by going through the considerations listed below:
- Purpose: Kitchen island pendants come in many designs and serve different purposes. They would either serve as ambient lighting to illuminate the whole room, or as a task lighting to light a workspace or as an accent lighting to create a focal point. Generally, kitchen pendants are used above kitchen islands in a series or row to provide stylish downwards illuminations.
- Size: Know the length of the bench top or square footage of the room as well as the ceiling height (including vaulted and sloped ceilings) to help you make the best choice. Be mindful of all sizing dimensions including width, depth, height of a light fitting you are interested in. The size of kitchen pendants ranges from 15cm to 60cm. Anything more than 60cm is uncommon and would usually be a custom design. For most applications especially kitchen islands, anywhere from 20 and 30cm would suffice. You can play around with the quantity and heights of the fittings to make the sizes perfectly suit your space.
- Positioning: Consider the positioning of the pendant light and its effects on style, general lighting of the room as well as symmetry of design. The lower it is, the bigger the fitting will appear. If you think the size of the kitchen pendant light is too big, then just adjust it to be hung higher to reduce its size via sheer illusion.
- Colours: Look for kitchen pendant lights that will complement your existing colour palette and interiors. Our kitchen pendants come in a variety of colours including but not limited to black, white, grey, brass, gold, natural, and copper.
- Brightness: The ideal lumen counts for ambient lighting in your typical room, be it dining, kitchen or bedroom – is determined by the space’s square footage. Per 10 square meters, a room needs about 250-400 total lumens. However, please be mindful that most kitchen pendant lights offer direct task focused lighting so lumens can be misleading.
- Lighting Function: As said before, kitchen pendant lights primarily offer direct, focused light and ambient light as a secondary effect.
- Installation Height: Consider how height affects style, safety and illumination. Also, consider ease of installation and its maintenance. Adjusting the height of the pendants can really affect the style and lighting of a room. For example, the higher the fitting is off the bench, the more spread out the lighting is (and conversely less directed and focused lighting). Also, adjusting the height so that the fitting is higher off the table can make the pendant light look smaller. and less impeding (the opposite effect happens when you lower its height) Finally, installing and maintaining kitchen pendants are generally much easier than installing other types of lighting like chandeliers over a staircase or stairwell. Most would be hung 1 meter from the ceiling.
- Style: Kitchen pendant lights come in many styles including modern, contemporary and traditional styles. You can easily find something that would suit your space. The bell shape is one of the most common and timeless designs of kitchen pendants that will never go out of fashion.
- Materials: Kitchen pendant Lights are available in a variety of materials and finishes. We have them made in concrete, metal, brass, nickel, wood, timber, cardboard, rattan and many other types of finishes. If you desire a particular material for your kitchen pendant that you find suitable for your space, then we will have it.
