Help me find some kitchen lights please!

Hi,
I am soon getting my long awaited new kitchen delivered and fitted and need to stop dithering and choose lights for the new space.
I need 3 x pendants to go over the island (not glass) and a longer light to go over the kitchen/dining table.
The handles are American Bronze and the tap called Patinated Brass although they sound different they match really well and I want lighting to coordinate with these.
We don’t have a massive budget - more Dunelm but have seen some in John Lewis and Industville that I like but not sure if I’ve seen The One’s yet!!
Any recommendations appreciated

Industville.co.uk have some nice brass lights - we have some over our island and they are good quality

editted to add I see you’ve looked already - I would say they are good quality

the other place I’ve had good lights is Pooky - not sure if they have brass

Original BTC are a British company with beautiful porcelain lights....quirky and 'normal'. The shades glow so you get light around the area, rather than just straight down if you have metal shades over the island

These Rigby lights are a decent colour match and quite unique in design.

There are individual pendants too in the range:

What style and colour is your kitchen Op?

LazyDoll77 · 25/02/2025 17:17

Hi stillnotdark it’s modern Shaker style doors. Putty with a Reed Green island and Arabesque Quartz work surfaces. I’ve found some in JL but still no purchase made!!

*3
We have 3 lights

5 would look like a lighting showroom Grin

LazyDoll77 · 25/02/2025 17:39

Oo thank you. Our island is also too long to have lights on a bar so need individual pendants for that. We will have spot lights too so think can get away with a bar over the sink table (same room) but they will be pretty much parrallel so need to match. Love the globes. And the brass and glass single.

Thanks Killam. It’s quite a large space so I think this might be a bit dainty for the proportions but colour is spot on

Made a few recent purchases from Lights2Go, really good prices and quality, huge choice and customer service was fantastic when I needed to return one (because I misread the size)

My kitchen light was £200 cheaper than from Furniture Village for the same thing/same manufacturer

That brand is stocked on this website

Defiantlynot41 · 25/02/2025 20:05

... how big is your island? Ours is 2.4m and this looks perfect in terms of proportions

Help me find some kitchen lights please!
minipie · 26/02/2025 10:12

seconding the recommendations of Pooky, Original BTC, Jim Lawrence

Have a look at Corston, Neptune, Willow & Stone, Cox & Cox, Nkuku, Rowen & Wren, Perch & Parrow, Fritz Fryer as well. Also Holloways of Ludlow. The kitchen company Devol does gorgeous lighting but not cheap.

LazyDoll77 · 26/02/2025 17:16

I do love that Defiantly but I don’t want glass above the island so think to have all the lights tie in that’s no glass lighting in kitchen. I’m not an avid cleaner and have 3 teenage sons so that combo equals dusty glass or shattered glass 😂

OP posts:
LazyDoll77 · 26/02/2025 17:16

PS 2.5m

Yes glass in kitchen area attracts grease too (at least it does if you ever fry anything on the hob) so looks grim pretty quickly. Wouldn’t recommend

Shiny metal will have the same issue tbh
