Pendant lights in vaulted ceiling kitchen - new build

[TheStorySoFar]

We've just realised that before the scaffolding comes down in our vaulted ceiling kitchen, we should get our (temporary cheap!) pendants hung. Have to hurry as the painters finish tomorrow afternoon & scaffolding has to be removed then. Trouble is we have no idea at what height these should hang. There will only bd two & it's a large room. V bright as has a huge window at the front (SE facing) & two sets of French doors facing East. Not directly over table or island so no chance of bumping heads. Any ideas of a standard recommended height?

Sorry to drip feed; DH has just come in with more detail! The room is approx 5m high & also has a huge Velux. It's 5mx8m & will also have. 2 up lighters, a 5amp circuit, spotlights on a cantilevered section at the back (darker) area & spots under kitchen cupboards.

I think you really just have to have someone stand up there and hang it and see what looks right - my last kitchen had exactly this - and probably a little bit higher and it was only really by hanging them up there that we could just what would look right - we had huge pendants too so it was crucial that they were the right height.

I have an orangery kitchen where the apex of the roof is about 4.5m. The room is also a similar size. We had spots on wires over the island and they are about 2.5m off the floor. In other words about standard ceiling height in the adjoining room. I think I would hang pendants at a similar height. This would be the lower edge of the pendant. Much higher will not give you as much benefit from the lights unless they are multi-bulb.
