The hanging pot rack with light as a Kitchen lighting idea is one of my favorites, with design and function at its best.

Hanging pot rack lights usually go over islands or peninsulas. If you are putting a hanging pot rack light over a cook top then you will need to plan on a pop up type hood vent.

Hopefully your in the idea planning stage of a kitchen remodel and you can plan on the ceiling rough wiring needed, and the pop up type down draft hood vent if the pot rack is going over a cook top. For general kitchen remodeling design, and installation information visit The Kitchen Guide.

The hanging pot rack light is very heavy so there will definitely need to be some extra wood to attach to in the ceiling, so plan for that before installing.

Hanging pot racks like pendents come in many styles to fit your particular kitchen design idea. The best selection I have found for hanging pot racks is at Lighting Showplace,  or the Lighting Catalog.
