Lights Over Kitchen Island

Lights over kitchen island – The kitchen islands provide additional storage, preparation and space in the middle of the kitchen. Install hanging lamps on the island to provide bright work lighting for the area and make the space more intimate. Hang the ceiling light so the base of the light is between 72 and 76 inches above the floor. This prevents the light from getting close enough to the surface to illuminate it while staying above the line of sight for most people. When the people in your home are tall, hang the light on the top of the area.

In the light, it can pass anywhere between 30 and 40 inches above the surface of the kitchen island. This depends on whether the island is the height of the pole or the height of the counter. The light should be closer to an island beam height than an opposite height. Before installing a ceiling light, hang a balloon on a chain where you want the light to be. Have everyone in your household enter the kitchen and stand or sit in places that might appear in everyday life. Notice whether the balloon is obstructing your view or appears to be in the way and adjust the height accordingly.
