An 8-light island light from Minka Metropolitan's Painesdale collection, finished in Sand Coal and Polished Nickel, designed for kitchen islands and dining rooms.
The Painesdale island light combines a Sand Coal frame with Polished Nickel accents for a transitional look that suits both modern and traditional spaces. Its eight lights provide ample illumination for food prep and dining, while the open design allows light to spread evenly across the surface below.
Best for
- Kitchen islands 6 ft or longer, centered over the island for balanced task and ambient lighting
- Dining rooms with a rectangular table seating 6-8 people, hung 30-36 inches above the tabletop
- Great rooms or open-concept spaces where a substantial fixture anchors the kitchen area
- Damp-rated locations such as covered patios or sunrooms with ceiling heights of 9 ft or more
Not ideal for
- Small kitchens with islands under 4 ft - the 56-inch width will overwhelm the space
- Rooms with ceilings under 8 ft - the fixture hangs 12 inches deep and may feel too low
- Spaces requiring a single focused light source - this is a broad ambient fixture
How bright is it?
With eight 60W bulbs (not included), this fixture can produce up to 4800 lumens total - bright enough to serve as the primary light over a large island or dining table. Use dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch to adjust the mood from bright task lighting to soft ambient glow.
Light color and feel
Bulb color temperature is not specified by the manufacturer, but we recommend 2700K-3000K warm white bulbs for a cozy, inviting atmosphere that complements the Sand Coal and Polished Nickel finish. The open design minimizes shadows and creates an even wash of light.
Sizing and fit
The fixture measures 56 inches wide, 56 inches deep, and 12.25 inches high. It is designed for ceiling mount on a standard junction box. For a kitchen island, center the fixture over the island and hang it 30-36 inches above the countertop. Ceiling height should be at least 9 ft for comfortable clearance.
