Kitchen island lighting must provide sufficient illumination of a work surface, while dining table lighting should not be as bright and can be more decorative than functional. Island lighting is somewhat similar to track lighting. This type of light fixture differs from track lighting because island lighting is specifically designed for kitchen islands.

Apart from this, lights for kitchen islands and dining tables have much in common: there are usually several pendants that are hung in a row to ensure the proper lighting of a work surface and provide an attractive elegant appearance of a task area.

5.Track And Rail Lighting

This is a modern type of lighting and it can look very stylish when used correctly. There are different styles and designs of track lighting like the track system that can be affixed right to the ceiling or be hung.

Track lighting fixtures create a very modern effect. These fixtures are ideal for accent or task lighting since several individual lights hang from a track. You can either mount the track on the ceiling or suspend it from the ceiling depending on the effect and height you want. Some track lighting fixtures let you adjust the direction of the individual lights, which is perfect for your food prep space or your desk!

Track lighting is a popular design element of modern kitchens and bathrooms but it is also an interesting alternative to semi-flush fixtures if you have opted for a modern design in your home. You can combine track lighting with pendant lights by choosing a fixture designed to hang individual pendants. You can create an original effect and get optimal task lighting by hanging the pendants at different heights.
