The pendant light – a room’s shining star
Pendant lights add charm and warmth to any space, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. They serve as a central design feature in a room, reflecting your personal style. Whether you prefer vintage, Scandinavian, classic, or rustic designs, pendant lights offer a versatile solution. Additionally, they provide adjustable lighting over tables, perfect for different settings.
How high above the table should hanging lights sit?
To avoid obstructing views or getting in the way while standing or sitting, it’s best to hang pendant lights about 80 to 100 centimeters above the table. This height is ideal for adjustable lights, giving you the flexibility to modify the height as needed.
Can you hide or shorten the cable?
Certain pendant lights come with built-in mechanisms to conceal excess cable, ensuring a sleek look. However, it’s important to note that modifying the cable yourself is not recommended for safety reasons and could void your warranty. When shopping for lights, look for designs that include a cover to hide extra cable or opt for a stylish design where the cable is part of the overall aesthetic.
And if you don’t have a table?
If you simply wish to hang a pendant light in a room without a table underneath, ensure the light is positioned high enough to avoid people accidentally walking into it. Hanging the light about two meters above the floor is usually a suitable height.
Are pendant lamps height-adjustable?
Many pendant lights come with a rise and fall mechanism, allowing you to adjust their height. When placed near the ceiling, they can light up the entire room, while lowering the light directs it more specifically onto a table or kitchen island.
Can you get hanging lights with a touch dimmer?
Yes! Pendant lights with touch dimmers are available, making it easy to adjust the brightness to suit your needs. Some models also feature a memory function, so the light will return to the same brightness level when turned back on.
Can you get pendant lights with a remote control?
Absolutely! Many pendant lights are compatible with remote controls, offering the ability to:
- Adjust the brightness and luminous color (warm white, cool white, or daylight white)
- Change the light to various colors, using color-changing technology
- Dim the light to your preference
For those who prefer using their smartphone, there are also smart pendant lights available that connect to your home automation system.
Which pendant lights are popular at the moment?
Natural and simple materials like wood, fabric, glass, and concrete are trending in pendant light designs. Minimalistic styles that make a statement without being overly elaborate are particularly fashionable right now.
What type of bulb do I need for my pendant light?
Finding the right bulb for your pendant light is no longer a hassle. Many modern pendant lights come with built-in LED technology, which offers energy efficiency, long lifespan, and versatile design options. If your light has separate bulbs, choosing LED options is highly recommended for these benefits.
