Hanging Light Bulbs

Why We Love Hanging Light Bulbs

You can channel the industrial vibe into your home with these stunning hanging light bulbs, inspired by the factory era and its own raw version of beauty. Whether you prefer a single bulb or a set of similar pendants, this type of fixture adds an instant conversation piece to your home. Reminiscent of the simpler factory style lighting, a hanging bulb light illuminates as much as you need it to without detracting from the rest of your décor. This style of lighting adds a bit of edgy flair to the ambiance of your home, adding just the right amount of dramatic sophistication for the space.

Where Hanging Light Bulbs Work Best

The beauty of hanging bulb pendants is that you can hang them singly or in clusters depending on your illumination needs and design preferences. Use a hanging bulb light for task lighting over a corner table or a set of several hanging light bulbs over your kitchen island or bar for an ideal dining setting. You can install a cluster of hanging bulb lights in place of a chandelier above a main dining area or in a key room of the home where you wish to have an attractive focal point. Hanging light bulb pendants also offer a beauteous glow in your home office, library, finished basement, workshop or other location.

A Hanging Light Bulb for Every Style

With a hanging bulb light as the common thread leaves a lot of room for creative enhancements from one brand and style to the next. You can find tinted glass shades of numerous hues and metallic hardware in metal tones or vibrant shades as well. Designs by Tech Lighting embody a minimalistic bare bulb fixture all the way up to the impressive ability to create your own fixture by adding hanging bulb pendants until you've reached your desired look. Plumen offers a selection of hanging light bulbs boasting a bit of color and a touch of futuristic-meets-industrial style and grace. Finally, Lee Broom focuses on a style that acknowledges traditional looks but steps past them for something greater.

How to Choose the Best Hanging Light Bulbs

The varied selection of styles makes it relatively easy to find the best hanging bulb pendants for different locations in your home. Consider where you will hang the light first and then determine how much actual lighting output makes sense for the purpose of that space. Choose from fluorescents and LED bulbs according to your preference. Personalize the look of the hanging light bulbs by selecting the color of the glass shade, the hardware finish, and the color of the cord, sometimes as vibrant as blue, orange or red allowing you to use a vivid pop of color in unexpected ways. Finally, keep in mind the ideal cord length for the space where you will hang the lights, particularly in cases where a table or other piece of furniture rests beneath the fixture.
