A: Two or three pendants suit most islands. Allow about one pendant per 24-30 inches of island length and keep equal spacing at each end so the lights frame the surface evenly.

A: Hang the bottom of each pendant about 30-36 inches above the countertop (roughly 72 inches from the floor). This lights the work surface without blocking sightlines across the room.
