Traditional Single Pendant Lights - Pendant Lights

Traditional pendant lights have made a comeback in the uk. The popularity of this elegant lighting fixture has been increased with its use in many modern lifestyle magazines and upmarket establishments. Let’s face it – we all like to emulate style where we can.

Less ostentatious than a chandelier but with just as much presence, a pendant light doesn’t have to follow the conventional rules of being a single, centred ceiling light. On its own, hanging down from a ceiling, centred – it can still be done and be quite breath taking in its simplicity. However, if you decided to have a pair, a trio or a group of pendant lights, you can have a work of art above your head.

There are many different styles and designs of pendant lights ranging from a minimalist crystal cube to an ornate, leafy branched light with filigree work or punched design that will throw magnificent shadows on the ceiling, a work of art in its light play. Pendant lights are particularly suited to open plan designs as the space between the lamp and the ceiling exaggerates the airiness and suggestion of space in this type of environment.

Spangled light from pendant crystals can provide amazing drama in a living room and a low hung, café or bistro style pendant light can define a dining area in a kitchen or a split reception room. You must ensure enough clearance space from the depth of the pendant light to the average height of people walking in the room. Check with your supplier if the chain or cable is able to be shortened if you require a reduced length.
