CAIRO Black & Wood Mini Dome Pendant Light for Kitchen Island & Counter

Two for islands up to about 6 feet, three for 7 to 9 feet. Space them 24 to 30 inches apart and keep the outer pendants at least 6 inches in from the ends so the grouping stays centred. Over a breakfast bar or a narrow peninsula, two is usually right. This is a mini pendant — one on its own suits a sink, a nightstand, or a reading corner rather than a full island.

One E26 bulb, not included. Max 15W LED — but that's the LED wattage, not the light output. A 15W LED is equivalent to roughly a 100W incandescent bulb, so three of these over an island gives you about 300W worth of light. For a warm, relaxed feel go 2700K. For a kitchen where you want things a touch crisper, 3000K works well.

The shade is 4.53 inches (11.5 cm) across. Maximum drop is 59.06 inches (150 cm) including the cord, and it's adjustable — you shorten it during install. The fixture weighs 1.18 kg. It's a genuinely small pendant, which is the point: it lights the counter without blocking the view across the room.

Around 30 to 36 inches from the countertop to the bottom of the shade is standard over a kitchen island. Over a dining table, 28 to 34 inches from the tabletop. The cord is adjustable so you set the exact drop during install.

Matte black painted steel for the shade, with a solid pine top — real wood, not a wood-look finish. Because it's natural pine, small variations in grain and tone between fixtures are normal.

Yes, with an external dimmer switch or a dimmable smart bulb. There's no integrated dimmer in the fixture, so you can use whatever system you already have. If you're on a wall dimmer, make sure it's rated for LED loads.

Yes. Each CAIRO is a single pendant on its own canopy, so hanging three over an island means three ceiling boxes. If you only have one box and don't want new wiring runs, look at the CAIRO 3-Light — all three shades drop from one canopy.

Yes. UL listed for both the USA and Canada (cUL), so it passes inspection and won't cause issues with insurance or a home sale. Made in Poland by TK Lighting.

It's a hardwired fixture that requires installation. If you're replacing an existing ceiling light on the same box, many people handle it themselves. If you're adding boxes for a multi-pendant run, use a licensed electrician.

No — it's rated for dry locations only. Keep it out of bathrooms with a shower or tub, and out of anywhere exposed to damp, including covered outdoor areas.
