Measurements

Having the proper measurements is just as important as a light bulb when it comes to lighting. Our measurement guide will assist in narrowing down the right fixture to suit your space.

If you require more elaboration on specific measurements or alterations, please contact us with any questions
Dining Room/Kitchen Table
30”-34” is a recommended distance from the top of the table to the bottom of the ceiling fixture. In order to establish the total height
(table height + distance off table) – total ceiling height = total fixture length
Hallway/Foyer
A minimum of 7’ is recommended for clearance in hallways and in foyers. In some instances, a door may swing in the path of the fixture requiring the fixture to be raised up higher.
