can you have a ceiling pendant in the kitchen or does it have to be an enclosed light like a bathroom?

Answer 1

Yes. In fact, you can have a pendant in a bathroom. Most don't because it would look pretty weird but there is nothing preventing you from doing it.

Answer 2

Pendants have become quite popular in the kitchen - you do not need enclosed lighting in the bathroom nor the kitchen.

Answer 3

You can have any type of lighting you want. Anything goes!
