How To Choose the Best Size Pendant Light

The majority of these pendants are offered in robust sizes that are meant for large, open spaces. Before choosing a new pendant for your space, begin your search by properly measuring the area where you plan to install new lighting. You'll want to be mindful of a light fixture's height, width, diameter, hanging length and weight. If it's a large pendant for the dining room or kitchen you're considering, you'll want to determine just how far the light can hang above the surface of your kitchen or dining table. Likewise, for open areas like the entryway, consider how just how far you want pendant to hang and where you will position it relative to the doorway. With dimensions in mind, refine your choices by the sizes that are best for your exact application. You may also want to decide just how much light ouput you need from the pendant you are choosing. Be sure to review it's brightness rating and its required light bulbs prior to installation.

Other Considerations

You can find a similar amount of light output and lighting coverage with a linear chandelier. Often rectangular in shape, linear suspension lighting is ideal for hanging over dining tables, kitchen islands, pool tables and other long surfaces. The amount of light output offered by a linear fixture allows it to cover a significant amount of space. Conversely, you may want to achieve ample light coverage through multiple light sources and you can do so by hanging a cluster of mini pendant lights or using a couple of mini chandeliers. Although smaller than a pendant found in this collection, mini pendants and mini chandeliers are big in personality. And lastly, layer the amount of light in any given room by complementing your ceiling lighting with sconces or portable lamps.
