Kitchen Lights

Kitchen lighting sets the tone of a room used as much for working as for dining – task light over the worktop, pendant warmth over the island, ambient fittings for evenings. Our designer kitchen lighting collection ranges from filament bulbs and shimmering copper domes through to architectural wall and ceiling fittings.

    Three layers: task lighting under wall units and over worktops; pendant or feature lighting over the island or dining area; ambient or architectural lighting for the rest of the room. Each layer needs its own dimmable circuit so you can shift between cooking, eating and evening modes without flicking everything on at full brightness.

    75-90cm above the worktop is the comfortable range. Lower, and tall family members will hit them when prepping food; higher, and the lighting becomes too diffuse to function as task light. Multiple smaller pendants in a row work better than one large pendant over a long island.

    Warm white (2700K-3000K) is the right choice for the dining and ambient layers – it flatters food and skin tones. Task lighting under wall units can be neutral white (3500K-4000K) if you want clearer light for chopping and reading recipes. Avoid cool white anywhere in a kitchen used for entertaining; it reads as clinical.

    Quality LED fittings are rated for 30,000-50,000 hours, which works out to 10-15 years of daily kitchen use. Energy savings vs halogen are substantial – a 6W LED replaces a 50W halogen with equivalent output. The investment usually pays back within 2-3 years on energy alone, with the long lifespan as a bonus.

Kyoto Smoked Glass Pendant Lights Heal's We love how the Kyoto Pedant Light is available in different shapes. This means you can mix and match them to create a statement cluster or keep them the same for continuity. Each light is hand-blown in Poland and has a metallic electroplated finish. This finish means the smoked glass pendant lights look mirrored when switched off and more translucent when illuminated. Parison Smoked Glass Pendant Lights Cheshire Architects for Resident This smoked glass ceiling light has a refined ombré effect that makes it stand out from other lighting. It’s beautifully mouth-blown by skilled glassmakers with a raw rim. By leaving the rim unfinished, the light has a rougher edge that keeps it looking modern. We love how the light is used here to illuminate a crisp white corridor, thanks to the ombré effect it makes the ceilings look even higher. Honey Smoked Glass Pendant Light Guillaume Delvigne for Heal’s Horizontal ribbed lines and a cylindrical silhouette mimic the shape of a beehive and inspired the Honey Pendant Light’s name. The glass ridges help to capture the bulb’s glow and soften it, so it casts a warm light. We think these contemporary smoked glass pendant lights look great displayed individually but also as part of a cluster. Try mix and matching it with other finishes to make more of a statement. Reveal LED Smoked Glass Pendant Lights Silje Nesdal for Northern Reveal is one of the most contemporary smoked glass ceiling lights in our selection. The pale colours of dawn seen on the Norwegian coast inspired this design. This is translated into the design through traditional Scandinavian design hallmarks such as brass accents and contemporary shapes. Instead of being illuminated by a bulb, the smoked glass light shade houses a horizontal LED module. This lends is an innovative, modern aesthetic. Bloom Smoked Glass Pendant Light Tim Rundle for Resident Paper lanterns and the way they fly through the air inspired Tim Rundle’s Bloom Pendant Light. It mimics the paper lantern design with a stainless-steel mesh inner surrounding the bulb and a smoked glass diffuser. When illuminated, it casts a soft glow through the shade. This also highlights the unique pattern created by the steel mesh inner and casts a pool of light downward. Sunset Brass & Smoked Glass Pendant Lights Cattelan Italia The Sunset Pendant is composed of six smoked glass diffusers suspended from angular steel stems. Its futuristic design means it’s perfect for modern homes and its extensive width ensures it creates a dramatic focal point. This smoked glass chandelier looks striking suspended over a kitchen island or dining table to create a visual impact. Olson Glass Cloche Pendant Light Heal's Multiple different shapes and sizes make up the Olson Pendant Light collection. Each fitted with antique brass fittings, these lights bring an industrial touch to these modern smoked glass pendant lights. They look particularly great when paired with exposed filament bulbs and displayed in a cluster with pendant of varying sizes. Soap Pendant Light Ota Svoboda for Bomma This smoked glass light shade really stands out because of its craftsmanship. Each one is freely blown from glass without using a mould, this creates an organic shape that is different from one light to the next. The lamp’s design was inspired by the every-changing shape of soap bubbles. To strengthen the similarity, the pendant light has an iridescent finish achieved through a unique metallisation process. Anchor Smoked Glass Pendant Lights Timothy Oulton As part of Timothy Oulton’s Noble Souls collection, the Anchor Pendant Light was designed to showcase ancient crafts. As such, its fluted glass shade is hand-blown by skilled artisans using methods that have remained relatively unchanged since they were invented in Syria over 2000 years ago. The entire collection is a celebration of natural materials and traditional techniques. Deco Knot Pendant Light Genevieve Bennet for Heal's This luxurious art deco pendant light is perfect inspiration for those who like traditional design with a modern flourish. The Deco Glass Pendant Light features a smoked glass dome sat atop an opaque orb. This casts a beautiful glow when the light is switched on. The addition of a fluted brass stem exudes luxury and completes the pendant light. Apollo Pendant Lights Cattelan Italia As part of Timothy Oulton’s Noble Souls collection, the Anchor Pendant Light was designed to showcase ancient crafts. As such, its fluted glass shade is hand-blown by skilled artisans using methods that have remained relatively unchanged since they were invented in Syria over 2000 years ago. The entire collection is a celebration of natural materials and traditional techniques. Grace Smoked Glass Pendant Lights Heal's The exclusive Grace Pendant Light radiates the sophisticated style typical of 1960s glassware. It’s accented with a modern twist in the form of its slanted base, allowing light to escape from the base. The addition of smoked and coloured glass finishes sets the mood and helps to create a warm glow when illuminated. Colour is added to the glass whilst it is being blown, meaning the hue won’t fade or scratch. Bubble Smoked Glass Pendant Light Heal's The Bubble Pendant Light is perfect if you’re looking for a modern smoked glass lamp with a different. This exclusive Heal’s light is hand-blown using smoked glass and is hand-finished with bubble detailing so each finish is subtly different. When illuminated, the bubbles diffuse the light’s glow even further to create a textural effect. Bolha Pendant Light Heal's This contemporary glass pendant light is named after the Portuguese word for ‘bubble’ thanks to its bubble-like finish. Like bubbles, each Bolha Pendant Light is unique with the dimples differing slightly on each piece. This is because each of these smoked glass pendant lights is individually hand-blown to achieve the organic shape. Bronzed metal fittings complete the pendant, so it looks right at home in modern interiors.

      Leading Lights From The Salone Del Mobile Milano 2017
      When one thinks of Milan, one is thinking about the latest looks and hottest trends. For this northern powerhouse is the driving heart of the Italian, if not European, design and fashion scenes with many of the world’s most coveted designers either located in the city or linked to the skilled makers and manufacturers of the surrounding region. Being the epicentre of style that it is, each year the city plays host to the Salone Del Mobile Milano an international gathering of design like no other that provides established brands and emerging talent alike a platform on which to showcase their latest and forthcoming collections. For almost a week, daily life gives way to the world’s interior press and retailers, which includes our team at Heal’s, who descend on the city hoping to catch a glimpse of the next big thing in furniture, lighting and home. Any visitor to this year’s event would not be able to help but notice that, once again, lighting is leading the way in terms of design innovation and development with a number of Heal’s best-loved brands at the forefront of this wave. Of course, we understand that not everyone has the time to jet set over to Italy for the week, which is why we’re bringing Milan hot off the runway and direct to your home with the exclusive launch of Tom Dixon’s new Cut range and the Original 1227 Mini Ceramic collection by Anglepoise. No stranger to spectacle, a glitzy Tom Dixon launch is a familiar sight at the Salone Del Mobile Milano. This year the London-based designer brings his Multiplex show to the cities Cinema and Galleria on via Manzoni, where, alongside a host of bars and eateries, he unveiled a number of pieces from his new lighting collection. Exclusively available at Heal’s for two weeks, the Cut range is described as “an exercise in optics” and consists of a diamond cut long and small faceted pendant and wall light. Coated in a space-age mirror finish, each piece transforms once light passes through its walls to reveal kaleidoscopic reflections that have been created using an innovative vacuum metallised process. Alongside this new range, Tom Dixon also introduces the Melt Surface light (pictured at the top of the page) an extension of his best-selling Melt series. For its latest collection, British lighting specialist Anglepoise celebrates the fascinating materiality of china porcelain with the new three-piece Original 1227 Mini Ceramic range, available exclusively at Heal’s flagship store and online for the next six weeks. Adding a whole new dimension to the iconic silhouette of the shade, first designed for the brand in the 1930s, once switched on each light changes from gloss white to a glass translucency emitting a soft radiant glow to the surrounding space. Consisting of a table lamp, wall light and pendant, each piece in the Original 1227 Mini Ceramic range is finished with chrome plated fittings and grey fabric cables to provide a subtle textural contrast.
