Basics: Kitchen Light Fixtures

Surface Mounts

Fixtures installed on walls or ceilings are excellent at providing general lighting. Some are highly decorative, too. A small chandelier hung over the breakfast table adds sparkle and a touch of formality. A run of ultra-modern pendants above an island offers eye-catching task lighting. If a pendant is used over a table, be sure the shade is narrow enough to hang safely away from diners’ heads.
