An island is a large countertop or prep-area usually in a kitchen, and sometimes with seating around it. To light the area for preparing and enjoying meals, an island light is a great choice. Usually these are longer or more linear light fixtures, with multiple lights in a row rather than in a circular arrangement. This helps to shine light across the entire length of the island. A beautiful island pendant or chandelier also acts as a stunning centerpiece for your kitchen. These hardwired light fixtures are installed electrically and operated by a wall switch.
These hanging lights can form a centerpiece in any room, ideally positioned over a table, counter-top, kitchen island or in the middle of a larger room. They produce a lot of ambient light but also center the light below them. Great for dining rooms and living rooms or over a kitchen island. A larger number of light bulbs tends to produce more light and lights up the whole room.
An island light is best suited over a kitchen island or alternatively a dining table. Best for kitchens and dining rooms. They could also be used over other long furniture, such as a bar, pool table or billiard table.
Attaches to a flat ceiling. The included canopy decoratively covers the electrical installation area. Not likely for use on vaulted/sloped ceilings.
