Craftsman & Mission Modern LED Pendant Lighting

Why We Love LED Pendant Lighting

An LED pendant light is personality in a pretty package. Pendant lighting offers artistic expression with a practical application, and LED hanging lights are the next wave in forward-looking design and versatile efficiency. Going where no bulb has gone before, LED pendants can push the envelope with cutting-edge modern style or provide environmentally conscious upgrades to familiar silhouettes. In any space, the energy efficiency and stylish design of an LED pendant is always welcomed.

Where LED Pendant Lights Work Best

In any space where a suspended light or chandelier is present, you can upgrade your home's efficiency with the introduction of an LED pendant lamp. Whether you’re seeking focused downlighting over kitchen islands or bars, or an ambient, glowing centerpiece over a dining room table, modern LED pendants are here to answer the call. Consider rectangular pendants for the kitchen island or string together a set of mini LED pendant lights. Dining rooms benefit from large pendants, shining brightly for formal dinner parties or occasional gatherings. In the living room, a pendant is able to be the focal point of the area and create a lasting impression with an LED pendant in the entryway or foyer. Finally, look to any of outdoor LED hanging lights for covered porches and patios just waiting for a statement-making piece.

The Benefits of LED Pendant Lights

In addition to allowing for the opportunity to create new and exciting designs, LEDs are also environmentally-friendly. Using up to 90% less energy, installing LED pendant lights will help to reduce the overall carbon footprint of a home. LED light sources also produce less heat than other light sources, keeping the ceiling lights cool as well as the surrounding space. The lifespan of the LED is up to 10 times longer than other light sources, making the maintenance of LED pendants drastically less than other light fixtures.

How to Choose a LED Pendant Light

When selecting the perfect LED pendant light fixtures for your space, there are several things to pay attention to, such as the lumens and color temperature of the LED. The number of lumens associated with a LED identifies how bright the light will be, whereas the color temperature identifies how warm or cool the light is. For spaces that need bright task lighting such as a desk or kitchen island, select a LED pendant light fixture with a high amount of lumens. When selecting the color temperature of LED pendants, the higher the number the cooler or whiter the light is. However, when deciding between cool or warm light for a LED pendant lamp, the decision is truly up to personal preference. For LED kitchen pendant lights, crisp, white light is ideal for keeping the room feeling clean. Whereas LED pendant lights with a warm color temperature are perfect for creating a relaxing, calming environment in a bedroom.

Other Considerations

LED mini pendant lights can be hung from their own canopies or installed as part of a low-voltage track lighting system, like the contemporary offerings from Bruck Lighting Systems and SONNEMAN Lighting. And in place of traditional table lamps on your bedroom nightstands, try a pair of LED hanging lights that drop down to the nightstand. Lastly, look to LED ceiling lights for more options you can use to decorate your ceiling with efficiency and style.
