What Is a Pendant Light?
A pendant light is a single fixture suspended from the ceiling by a cord, chain, or rod that directs light downward. Unlike chandeliers with multiple arms, pendants feature one bulb or lamp and are commonly used over kitchen islands, in entryways, or as focused task lighting over dining tables and workspaces.

Where Does a Round Capiz Pendant Work Best?

Frequently Asked Questions
- How many pendant lights over a kitchen island?
- Two to three pendants spaced 24-30 inches apart typically suit a standard 6-8 foot island, though the Regatta's 5.5-inch diameter allows closer spacing for a linear effect.
- How high to hang a pendant light over an island?
- Position the bottom of the shade 30-36 inches above the countertop to provide task lighting without obstructing sightlines across the island.
- What size pendant light for a kitchen island?
- A 5.5-inch-diameter pendant like the Regatta works best in multiples; for single installations, 12-18 inches is standard for islands 4-6 feet long.
- What is the difference between a pendant and a chandelier?
- A pendant suspends one shade or bulb on a single cord, while a chandelier features multiple arms or tiers with several bulbs distributed across a wider frame.
- Does this pendant require hardwiring?
- Yes, the Regatta mounts directly to a ceiling junction box via standard hardwiring; professional installation is recommended for proper electrical connection.
- Can I use LED bulbs in the G4 socket?
- G4 sockets accept both halogen and LED bi-pin bulbs rated for 120V; LED versions reduce energy consumption and heat output.
