By Danny Ricks

Lighting pendants, name is like it is something related to jewelry. But it is not. It is related to lamps which are suspended from ceiling. These types of lamps are basically used in kitchen islands, desks, breakfast nooks and the like. It is available as single pendant lighting or pendants in groups attached to each other using fixtures and rods. By looking at the sparkling light thrown by these pendant lamps you get new creative ideas to decorate and illuminate your house.

Normal sized pendant lamps are suspended at the height of 24" to 30" above the surface. It should be adjusted in such a way that the surface gets totally illuminated. You will also find mini pendants which are suspended at the height of 18" to 24" above the surface. Group of mini pendants looks so beautiful that people use it for decorative purpose. You can also change the position of the group of lamps which make different patterns on ground.

There are different types of pendant lamps available: Inverted, downlights, mini pendants, kitchen and island pendant lighting and pool table and billiard lights.

The face of the inverted pendant fixtures is bent towards the ceiling. This feature protects the surrounding area from direct glare of light. By reducing this glare inverted pendants are used for making a relaxed and soothing environment. But inverted lamps are not suitable if you want to use it for reading or any other task.

Downlight pendants are used in Reading areas, game tables, pool tables, and places where a particular task needs to be illuminated. It is direct light on the task to illuminate it and give a proper and clear view.

Mini pendants are mainly used to decorate the room. The bulb used in it is of 40 to 60 watts and it is added as an additional light to the main light.

Pendant lamps do not illuminate whole room and that is why it is not used for purposes like reading and other related task where full concentration is essential. But you can combine it with other lamps like table lamps and wall lamps to illuminate your room. This combination also reduces dark spots in the room. - 33393
