If I were you, I would get something completely flushed to your ceiling. I have a fixture very similar to what you posted but it's above my dining table so it doesn't get abused.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-fixture-in-play-room#post-2926296 Fri, 04 Feb 2022 13:04:27 +0000 caitcat 2926296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have similar fixtures in my foyer and in my closet. Neither spot takes as much abuse from the kids as their playroom...but they've definitely thrown things in the foyer that have had close calls with the light fixture and it hasn't broken (yet). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-fixture-in-play-room#post-2926294 Fri, 04 Feb 2022 11:11:23 +0000 JennyPenny 2926294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids have broken one of the blades on the ceiling fan in the playroom. I never liked having a ceiling fan in there anyway so now I'm glad to have an excuse to replace it with a light-only fixture. However, my husband thinks the one I have in mind will also get damaged/broken. So I'm wondering if the ladies here have any experience with this kind of light fixture, or if you have one in your play areas that you like and think is durable, I'm up for recommendations. Our main requirements are that it is NOT a built-in LED, and that it can take 4-5 bulbs.

We also have a light on the ceiling between the sink and the stove that needs replaced. It needs at least three bulbs which posts a challenge. </p> <p>The rest of our house is pretty traditional, but I am hoping to go a bit more rustic/modern! </p> [attach=1506/12/mexex0.550x400.ry-3D400-1-.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-over-the-sink#post-444676 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 11:19:56 +0000 T.H.O.U. 444676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sammyfab: Added a poll!

Gives it a nice, cozy institutional feel! (Kidding. But we rent, so they're going to stay, regardless of my feelings about them.) </p> <p>I like the multiple-pendant idea, although I'd pick something smaller than the ones in the photos above so they'd be less intrusive. I don't much care for single pendants--they often read "interrogation room" to me, and I don't think I'd like that while washing dishes, you know? ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-over-the-sink#post-444626 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 11:06:39 +0000 MediaNaranja 444626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I like the 1st one that @prettylizy: posted. A bit wider but still has the pendant look. I don't think something like that would block the light or view! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-over-the-sink#post-444619 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 11:03:36 +0000 Sammyfab 444619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also vote for a wider light fixture or multiple small pendants. You should do a poll! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-over-the-sink#post-444617 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 11:03:21 +0000 T.H.O.U. 444617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks Ladies! I love the pendant look but aren't sure with how it would look with the wide window. Plus, I wouldn't want it to block the view of the window. </p> <p>I also have to figure out the blinds. The window faces the street so I guess I just need to put the mini blinds back up for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-over-the-sink#post-444612 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 11:02:20 +0000 Mrsbells 444612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I like the idea of something wider than a pendant light </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-over-the-sink#post-444611 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 11:02:10 +0000 Bao 444611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, a single pendant light would look great there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-over-the-sink#post-444608 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 10:59:49 +0000 prettylizy 444608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with @Bookworm: I think a pendant light in that wide of a space might be too skinny and long. </p> <p>I would do either something like this with the wider light fixture or multiple smaller pendants. </p> [attach=1542/12/mexdrp.259x194.images.jpg] [attach=1542/12/mexdrr.422x600.pendants-over-sink-and-beaded-ceiling-mount.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-over-the-sink#post-444594 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 10:55:04 +0000 Bookish 444594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, I'm gonna be the odd one out and say pendant might be too obtrusive vertically, and too skinny.
