Looking for some input on the lighting layout over our large island.

There will be a total of (6) 7" ultra thin recessed LED lights around the perimeter of the island.

Over the island, DW would like 3 pendant lights that provide downward lighting. She hasn't settled on the lights yet, but i would say the glass on most of the ones she has shown me is around 10-12" diameter.

We obviously would center the middle light over the island. But the question becomes how far apart to put the other 2. Most of what i've read is that they should be at least 24" apart and a a minimum of 6" from the ends of the island. The cooktop shown below is 30" wide which means theres a ~15" landing to the left of the cooktop. If i would center the outside light based on that landing, it would be way to close to the edge.

Note: There is only 72" run of cabinets below the right portion of the island (looking at the top view below) so the left end of the island is actually an overhang with legs in the corners. This will be eat in area for 2 maybe the occasional 3rd person.

So what should we do?

Do we go down to 2 fixtures and space them based off the cooktop centerline?

Do we go to 1 large long fixture?
