Kitchen Island Lights

A run of pendants over a kitchen island does two jobs at once: it lights your worktop for food preparation, and it acts as one of the biggest style statements in the room. Our kitchen island lighting collection is built around designs made to be seen in multiples, whether that's a matching pair or a full line of three or more.

Choosing pendants for an island

Utopia Lighting dominates this collection, with the Twist, Sphere, Swirl and Martini ranges offering everything from a compact single drop to the Twist Grand Pendant, a genuinely large design at 89cm in diameter that makes a real style statement over a bigger island. Searchlight's Baines pendant, in smoked glass and chrome, offers a more understated alternative for a smaller run.

Spacing and scale

As a rough guide, most islands suit pendants spaced around 60 to 75cm apart, hung so the base sits roughly 75cm above the worktop, though this varies by ceiling height and the specific design. Because island pendants are seen up close and often in multiples, it's worth checking the diameter of your chosen design against the width of your island before ordering, particularly for larger statement pieces like the Twist Grand Pendant.

Good to know

• All hardwired pendants should be installed by a qualified electrician, including any dimmer switch wiring.
• Buying more than one? Order all pendants for a run in a single purchase to avoid finish variation between production batches.
