Find your pendant lamp at LIGHT-POINT among our selection of modern and elegant pendants and hanging lamps that combine style and functionality.
What is a Pendant Lamp?
Pendants are among the most decorative, efficient, and versatile types of lighting for our homes. They’re functional and flexible, and can be used in both small and large rooms, practically anywhere in the home. With a myriad of designs, sizes, and materials, pendant lamps can fit into any modern decor and style.
A pendant, also called a hanging lamp or pendant lamp, is a light source that hangs from the ceiling via a cord or rod. It is used for focused lighting, such as over a kitchen or dining table, where it lights a specific area without illuminating the entire room, and for broader, more general lighting throughout the home.
Perhaps you're wondering whether to choose a ceiling lamp or a pendant? While a ceiling lamp, which is mounted in or on the ceiling, is space-saving, a pendant takes up more space both physically and visually. However, you can adjust its height based on the room and purpose, making pendants ideal for creating atmosphere and defining spaces, such as highlighting specific areas in an open floor plan.
Create Optimal Ceiling Lighting with a Pendant
What makes pendants so popular? The advantage is their flexibility. They can hang at different heights, allowing you to adjust the lighting to suit your specific needs.
Unlike table or floor lamps, pendant lamps hang from the ceiling, taking up airspace rather than occupying surfaces or floors. This makes them a great choice in smaller rooms where you want functional lighting without taking up unnecessary space.
Pendants play a crucial role in setting the right atmosphere in a room. The brightness and type of bulb used can significantly impact the room's ambience. All our pendants come with energy-efficient LED light sources, which can be adjusted in intensity.
It’s also essential to consider whether the lamp should be the main light source or complement other lights in the room. Pendants can easily be combined with other lamps like floor or wall lamps to create layers in lighting.
Exclusive Designer Pendants for Any Interior
Pendants come in a wide variety of designs, sizes, and materials, making it easy to find one that fits your room and style. When choosing a pendant, it’s important to consider the room’s function and vibe. Different rooms require different types of lighting, and pendants can be adapted to almost any need.
And how can you best use them in various rooms?
- Kitchen Lighting: Pendants are ideal over kitchen islands or dining spaces. Here, a single pendant or a linear pendant is recommended to ensure good task lighting.
- Dining Room Lighting: In the dining room, pendants serve as a focal point over the dining table. They provide a cozy atmosphere while highlighting the table’s design. A larger cluster pendant or a dramatic single pendant can create an intimate ambiance, especially if the light is dimmable.
- Living Room Lighting: Pendant lamps in the living room can work as both reading lights and mood-setting lights. They can be placed over coffee tables or in corners for soft lighting. Here, you can experiment with more decorative designs that add an artistic element to the decor.
- Bedroom Lighting: Pendants can hang beside the bed, replacing traditional bedside lamps. This frees up space on the nightstand while creating a more international, luxurious hotel look. The light can be adjusted to provide softer lighting for reading or relaxation.
- Entrance and Hallway Lighting: In small spaces like entrances or hallways, pendants provide practical lighting and add style. A row of smaller pendants or a large decorative pendant can make these often-overlooked areas more inviting.
Find Your Perfect Designer Pendant Lamp at LIGHT-POINT
At LIGHT-POINT, we offer a wide range of pendants, and choosing the right type depends on the room’s size, function, and style. Our state-of-the-art designs add sophistication and uniqueness to your home – and all our pendants provide comfortable, glare-free lighting.
There are several types of pendants:
- Single Pendants: Featuring a single light source, they are often used as focal points in a room. They are popular over kitchen islands, smaller dining tables, or as reading lamps in living rooms. They can also be arranged in rows. For example, see the model ZERO.
- Linear Pendants: Perfect for long dining tables or kitchen tables. This type consists of a long light source that provides even illumination over the entire area. See SLIM lamps, STRIPE lamps, and EDGE Linear.
- Decorative and Cluster Pendants: A collection of lamps gathered in a cluster creates a dramatic and artistic expression. These lamps work well in large rooms, such as a hall, living room, or over large dining tables, where they can create a focal point. Often, these serve as a sculptural element, adding personality to the room. See, for instance, DROP lamps, SPIRIT lamps, and the INLAY Linear, designed in collaboration with Studio F. A. Porsche, where multiple light sources are arranged on a long panel.
Also, take a look at EDGE Round lamps, which makes a bold design statement.
Exclusive Designer Pendants for any Interior
LIGHT-POINT has a pendant to suit your needs, whether you prefer minimalist and discreet design or more expressive, dramatic, and artistic lighting. By selecting the right type, material, and placement, you can create balanced and beautiful lighting.
Pendants can contribute to a cosy atmosphere or add an exciting dynamic to the room, depending on the lighting type and design. With dimmable light sources, you can easily adjust the brightness to create the right ambience, making pendant lamps ideal for both work areas and relaxation zones.
Pendants can be subtle or commanding. With various styles – from minimalist and modern to distinctive and decorative – a pendant can be a central design element that adds personality and character to a room.
Stylish Hanging Lamps That Combine Design and Function
Pendants are often called hanging lamps since they hang from the ceiling. They can be used alone or in groups to create different lighting levels in a room. For example, a single pendant can create an intimate atmosphere, while several arranged in a hanging cluster can provide a modern, stylish look and even lighting in larger rooms.
Think unconventionally, and try hanging a pendant where you’d typically choose a table or floor lamp. For example, over a coffee table or side table, or in a dark corner of the living room – it will make the room feel more open and inviting. You might also consider hanging a single pendant over a plant, a sculpture, a bar cart, or similar instead of opting for a spotlight.
All in all, pendants are a versatile and stylish solution that combines practical lighting with cosiness, aesthetics, and style, making them an obvious choice for our homes.
Small or large pendant lamp, which one suits my space best?
LIGHT-POINT offers pendant lamps for all purposes and needs. First and foremost, you should consider your space. The larger the room and the higher the ceiling, the bigger the pendant lamp should be, and vice versa.
Choose a lamp that feels light in the room and doesn’t obstruct the view too much. The lamp shouldn’t be so large that it makes it difficult to see other people in the room, the TV, the view, etc.
As a general rule, pendant lamps should hang 60-70 cm above the table from the bottom of the lamp. However, this is always an individual consideration. Look at the height of people in your family and hang the pendant so that you aren’t looking directly into the light source. If you want multiple pendant lamps in a row, choose two or an odd number, such as 3-5-7, to create a more harmonious and balanced look.
