HI all.

We are building a home. Picking out lights- daunting.

Is there a preferred distance for a hanging fixture from countertop/kitchen sink level? We have 9 foot ceilings. Fixture will hang from the ceiling. We are a moderately tall family. No one over 6'3" will routinely use the sink. I was thinking ( just by messing around with a tape measure) appx 30 inches to the bottom of fixture from ceiling- that means 88 inches from the floor.

Same question for pendants over island. I was looking at 36 inch drop from ceiling to fixture bottom which means 82 inches from the floor.

Lots of light in room otherwise both natural and otherwise so more concerned about immediate area lighting than lighting the whole space.

Thanks in advance
