Hello,
after moving in, we are now looking for lighting, specifically a pendant light for our dining table.
The dining table (1 meter wide, 2 meters long) is centered directly under the ceiling power outlet.
We definitely want a fixture with multiple lights, so around 3 to 4 bulbs.
Regarding the height, I have read that the lights should hang at least 60cm (24 inches) above the tabletop to avoid being in the way.
However, we are unsure about the width and length. With 80cm (31 inches) wide fixtures, there is still a decent selection, but anything larger becomes more limited. Would you consider 80cm (31 inches) sufficient for a 200cm (79 inches) table?
The table can be extended to 3 meters (118 inches), but that is rarely done and only for bigger gatherings or similar occasions.

The height adjustment works by screwing along the rods and is therefore not suitable for daily adjustments.

There are also these beam lamps that can be extended.
We installed them today.
They consist of two narrow aluminum strips that can be pulled apart from each other.
They can even be dimmed in three steps using a standard light switch.
Unfortunately, I don’t have another photo available at the moment.

Why is your kitchen window so low? Can you still look outside from there? We have a similarly low window, and you can easily see out towards the garden, but not towards the sky.
However, I do find it somewhat "dark" here, almost like being in a basement.
@Golfi90 why don’t you have an additional window on that wall? Did you forget?
