I am remodeling my kitchen and I will be having a 4 foot by 6 foot kitchen island. I would like to to have 2 or 3 light across pendant lighting installed above it. What is the rule for how big (height and width) it should be? Also, how many inches above the island should the lighting be?
I also would like to know has wide the lighting should be to go over a 6 foot island that will have a bar.

I have a newer home that had two existing light sources in the kitchen. The control switch for the light above the sink is located in the kitchen and the light switch for the light located in the middle of the kitchen is on the wall entering into the kitchen. I tried replacing the light above the sink with a pendant lighting. When taking the existing light down I saw that all the wires were black not labeled so I went to the hardware store and bought a circuit tester. I found out that two wires were hot and the other wire did not set off the circuit tester. Previously one of the hot wires was connected to the wire that did not set the circuit tester off, and the other hot wire was by itself. When I hooked up the pendant light I connected all the hot wires and left the wire that caused no reaction by itself, then connected the ground wire to the screw in the mounting bracket. The pendant light turns on, but the other light will not as a matter of fact both light switches turn on and off the pendent light. Am I suppose to separate the hot wires if so how do i know which one to hook up to the pendant hot wire.

I am having a kitchen island installed that will be 4 ft x 6 ft with a bar on the 6 ft side. I am planning on installing pendant lighting above it. The lighting will have 3 lights across. How wide should the pendant lighting be in order to be in proportion to the bar?

Therefore I want to replace the fixture with something that I can reach, I dont know if I should use a pendant lighting, or another track lighting. Please help me!!

Trying to match the dacor of a new home. Should the bathroom and kitchen fixtures match the finishes of the door knobs and/or lighting or can you mix and match. We are looking into having brushed nickel fixtures and door knobs while having oil rubbed bronze pendant lighting and wall sconces.
