Category questions

Answers for this product type.

How many pendants should be used over an island?

The answer depends on fixture diameter, island length and desired spacing. Even clearances are more useful than choosing a number first.

What controls the hanging height?

Ceiling height, fixture size, eye level and the use of the surface below all affect the suitable drop.

Can pendant sizes be mixed?

A mixed composition can work when the canopy, finish or geometry provides a clear relationship between fixtures.
