Pendant Light Disaster Help

2 years ago

So I purchased these lovely pendant lights and thought they would work for the space, but my overwhelmed self really did not take into account the heigh difference based on the slope of the ceilings.

The pendants have a 10ft cord and our electrician said he could not do a splice on the cord to extend it because of the weight of the fixture.

The lower pendant sits at 33” above the island, and the higher pendant is at approx 57” according to him.

We have plenty of light from recessed lighting, but I was hoping for these pendants to produce a nice warm glow in the room.

I’m stumped on what to do. Right now the only options I have are below. It was so hard finding something under $750/fixture that would fill up and match the space

1. Leave the ceiling lights at 2 different heights 2. Raise the lower pendant so it sits flush with the higher pendant 3. Swap these fixtures out for something else on a chain that allows for them to sit lower above the island.

Leave as is at different heights
Raise the lower pendant so they are at the same height
Neither. Find something else
