Uptown pendant - Satin Brass/Polished Brass

For islands, pendants often measure 1/3 to 2/3 the island width for singles, or 8–12 inch diameters when using multiples. Over tables, keep the fixture scale proportional to the table.

Typical mounting height is 30–36 inches from tabletop to the bottom of the pendant, or about 72–84 inches off the floor in open areas.

Two or three pendants are common. Space roughly one pendant diameter apart, leaving 6–12 inches from the edge of the island to the first pendant.

Task pendants often provide 800–1500 lumens each; ambient decorative pieces can be lower if layered with recessed or under-cabinet lighting.

Warm 2700–3000K feels inviting for dining; 3500–4000K gives a crisp look for prep. Choose CRI 90+ for accurate color on food and finishes.

Most pendants are dimmable with compatible LED controls. Confirm triac/ELV or 0–10 V depending on the driver or bulbs used.

Use slope-rated canopies or chain suspensions for angled ceilings. Shorten cords evenly and use a bubble level for multi-light bars.

Metal and glass clean easily; fabric shades collect grease unless vented well. Choose durable finishes that match hardware and appliances.

Pick diffused or opal glass for softer light; add a dimmer; or choose wide shades with hidden sources to avoid glare in seating areas.

Confirm canopy size, junction-box coverage, ceiling reinforcement, and overall drop length before installation.
