Hi Firstly I love the light over the table it's fab! I do think the lighting needs layering up a little and I would probably introduce a lamp on the work surface in the kitchen and possibly add some lovely lanterns on the breakfast bar with candles. Also, could you buy some temporary under cupboard lights and pop them under your breakfast bar? I know it may not be as good as integrated lighting but it may also enhance the ambience of your kitchen/dining room. Another option could be to place a thin console table running along the wall and have a couple of small lamps there?

Hello,I bought a couple of Dovenden's "compact" lamps,take a look at www.dovenden.com The lamps have a very nice solid well built feel to them.You get 12 hours or more on full brightness,much longer on the lower settings.

I got a couple of lamps recently from Dovenden. www.dovenden.com They have a very well made/solid feel to them,on max brightness the battery lasts over 12 hours,much longer on the dimmer brightness positions(4 brightness settings via a touch switch)

Thanks! We have lots more ceramic lamps on our website: https://www.alexanderjoseph.co.uk/. Feel free to take a look!
