What dining table light?
We're currently refurbishing our kitchen and we've now finished the room itself, with the units going in next week, however we cannot decided on the light to put over our dining table.
In the photo below, you can see the extractor fan in the ceiling so you can tell where the hob will be (on a peninsula) You can also see the TV bracket and the current pendant. You can slo see the 4 wires for the downlights in the dining area. The downlights and pendant are on different dimmer switches.
The existing pendant is center of where the dining table will be, so we want something very modern, but something that doesn't obscure the TV from the hob.
Any suggestions?

Love this white light.. Is it suitable for my dining table?
Comments (13)Alena.. I am so agree with you. Thank you so much.. Headers and Minnie, i am so grateful to tell me bout your both oponion. Thank you. But if you noticed my dry kitchen and table bar countertop is all black.. What I think here, I can't used a same pendant design or black color anymore on my dining table because I need to make it contrast so my friends and guest will only keep staring on that position which is my dining table pendant.. I'm not sure whether I'm right or wrong I am not a Profesional Interior Designer, I'm Profesional Make Up Artist so thats why I need to find a Pro to help me out in my interior.. Maybe I need to go with Alena.. Thank you again. Really much appreciate it. Below is my dry kitchen photo again.. U can see from the countertop to 3 pendants is all black color.. More comment is needed and please comment it.. Thank you...See Morewhite gloss kitchen, what dining table and over table light will suit?

Comments (5)Hi Angel This a a common questions and it always comes down to what minor things you can sacrifice to get the best of all worlds. Do I have a pendant to create a dining zone? Do I try and retain the view outside? Do I make the space versatile for parties? In my opinion a light over the table looks great if you do not have one already over the kitchen island (if you have one). Keep the light above head level (of most of your usual guests) so that you can talk to each other . It may be worth cutting out cardboard and offering it above the table to see what works for you. The light doesnt have to be too imposing it could be something light the light below. or maybe something that is a feature but still see through like the below There are not many rise and fall lights out there that can really reduce that much to be out of the way on a standard height ceiling but if you have tall ceilings then it could work. I hope this helps, and good luck with your project....See MoreLighting above dining table
Comments (8)Hi Lovely - I always think of lighting as an opportunity to bring on statement lighting and create ambience. If you like/love the lighting by all means go for it! It does depend on the size of your dining table obviously the bigger or longer dining table the more space you have for your lighting. You may want to think about how much lighting you need above the dining table as well. If you prefer it on the brighter side then you'd need a pendants/chandelier with more light bulbs. Go with what makes your heart sing and you'll love it forever! Thanks Rukmini...See Moreminnie101

It sounds as if you're only going to have 40cm drop max for the light? If so a flush or semi flush fitting may be better. This is from industville and comes in different finishes. Another alternative but you may not be keen is to go for a clear glass cluster pendant which would hang over the tv but obviously not completely obscure it. Do you plan on watching the tv more from the dining table or hob as you may be able to lower the bracket In order to get pendant lights

8 years agoThe trend right now for lighting is moving towards the vintage/industrial style. If you are looking for something a bit smaller we would recommend either our Small Vintage Brass Dome Pendant Light or the Small Umbrella Vintage Dark Pewter Pendant Light or for a larger alternative check out these...

Or for a more vintage and industrial look we would suggest this 1800s Style Vintage Pendant that is also adjustable in height.

8 years agoWe solved this problem with a Phillips lamp. It has a very low profile, energy saving, etc. It's a great lamp, good light for a dining area, perfect for our low ceilings and doesn't impede the view through to the garden. Just did a quick browse to find the exact name (below) and found that Phillips have a number of low profile pendants to choose from.
