Pendant Lights Buying Guide

If you’re looking for elegant ceiling lights and you feel chandeliers are too over-the-top, then go for pendant light fixtures. Pendant lights hang from the ceiling with a metal cord, chain or rod.  Keep in mind, the pendant light should be apt for the height of your ceiling. You wouldn’t want to hit your head against a long pendant light hanging from a low ceiling!

Types and Styles

Pendant lights and lamps come in styles suitable for kitchens, dining halls, bathrooms and even billiards tables.  

• Pick from downlight pendant lights or reversed/inverted fixtures. The latter will provide illumination to the top of the ceiling rather than the room itself; this gives the ambience a plush and radiant glow.

• Materials such as, bronze, brass, chrome, ceramic and silver are often used in crafting the structure of a pendant lamp. 

• There are battery operated and electric pendant lights. Consider the type of light bulb that is required. Some pendant lighting may require a non-standard light bulb. The switch type also varies in each pendant lamp. Some even have a dimmer option which is a step ahead of the usual ‘on and off’ options.

• You can get pendant lights in all sizes. The size will depend on the size of the room.

• Depending on the illumination you need, pick from single light, three-light or five-light pendant lamps.
