Did someone advise you to install the pendants in this configuration? Horizontal/length-wise across the island is where they should likely go.

What are the dimensions of your island?

😞

This type of issue is why I want (need) a designer for my kitchen renovation - or at least a lighting expert!

What size is your kitchen island (including countertop) - is it exactly square? Also, post a photo of your pendants + add width/height of pendants.

I'd want to be 100% certain of where they should be reinstalled (maybe you already are - but it doesn't hurt to have some concurring opinions).

You must be excited to be so close to being finished! Who manufactured your countertop?

Where is the cad drawing of the kitchen, with the cabinetry and island , and all dimensions? AND the chosen pendant are what and what size?

Nobody can advise what makes sense from your picture: )

Am I seeing two dishwashers.....is this a kosher kitchen? One is inconveniently between an oven door and your sink??

Why are the island lights running in the shorter direction instead of the longer?

It’s hard to see the relation of the lights to the island in the photos but do you need pendant lights? Can you put some smaller recessed directional lights in the areas you already prepared?

So, that mistake might give you the chance to make a better choice. Pendants are a time-honored option, but they are busy, smaller lights. You could choose a chandelier instead that would provide more flexible (and just more) lighting with a more current profile.

On its way to looking like we originally intended it to.

Sorry, looks a bit odd in photos. What are the island dimensions?? Is it square or nearly square? Such as 48" x 48" If that were/is the case? I'd have done a single, much larger pendant and treated the island as you might a square dining table

Too late now : ) But I guess you were in a hurry.
