Pendants do something no lamp can. They put light exactly where the work happens and mark the spot from across the room. Seldens' Pendant Lighting covers single hung fixtures and multi light arrangements in glass, blackened metal, brass and woven shades, sized for islands, tables and entries.

Hanging Height and Spacing

Over a kitchen island, a pendant generally hangs so the bottom of the shade sits about thirty to thirty six inches above the counter. Over a dining table, closer to thirty inches above the surface keeps the glare out of eye lines. Two or three pendants over a long island want even spacing with roughly thirty inches between centres.

Layering With the Rest of Your Lighting

A pendant is task light, not the whole scheme. Pair it with table lamps and floor lamps at seated height so the room has light at more than one level, and keep bulb temperature consistent across fixtures so the whites do not clash. Browse the full lighting collection to coordinate finishes.
