Choosing the Right Hanging Pendant Lights for Your Project
Kitchen pendant lights work best when they provide focused lighting for tasks without blocking sightlines across the bench or island. For kitchen island installations, consider the bench length and choose a grouping that distributes light evenly from end to end. Pendants that sit too high lose their impact; too low and they become an obstacle, so getting the height right is essential. Our team is here to help.

Narrow the range by the look you are after: modern, contemporary, traditional, industrial, Hampton and crystal pendants, plus linear pendants for long benches and islands, LED pendants for efficiency, and foyer and void lighting for double-height entries.
Frequently Asked Questions
How high should I hang kitchen pendant lights over a bench?
The bottom of your pendant should sit approximately 75 to 90 centimetres above the benchtop. Ceiling height will slightly influence this, but this range keeps the light functional for task work while maintaining clear sightlines across the kitchen.
What is the difference between task and ambient pendant lighting?
Consider the shade. A solid or metal shade focuses light downward, making it ideal for cooking and preparation tasks. An open glass or woven shade disperses light more broadly across the room, contributing to overall ambient warmth rather than a targeted brightness.
Do I need a licensed electrician to install pendant lights?
Yes. A licensed electrician must carry out all hard-wired lighting installations in Australia. This protects your home, ensures compliance with local electrical standards, and keeps your product warranty valid from the day of installation.
