A pendant lamp is a lighting fixture that serves as general lighting in the home - the lighting that we turn on when entering a room. In principle, there are two types of lighting in any room - general and local, with general replacing daylight in the evening, and local complementing it, emphasizing and separating individual corners, creating an intimate atmosphere when needed. The skillful combination of the two types determines whether our home will be cozy or impersonal.
General lighting provides uniform illumination and should be as close to the effect of daylight as possible. The most suitable for general lighting is reflected (indirect) light - this is the light that does not come directly from the light source, but is reflected by a wall, ceiling or a special reflector of the lighting fixture. It provides uniform illumination in the room and does not create contrasting shadows.
From a psychological point of view, it is good for general lighting to be reminiscent of daylight - in terms of color, strength, and direction, especially during the dark autumn and winter days.
TYPES OF PENDANTS
Pendants can be used to provide central or directional lighting. Combined with globes or shades to avoid direct glare, they create intriguing lighting above dining tables, kitchen counters or other work areas. When used above a table, they don't take up space unlike table lamps.
Pendant lamps can be with incandescent bulbs, halogens, as well as with energy-saving compact fluorescent light sources. They are available in a wide variety of designs and lampshades made of different materials, which can turn them into the most attractive and desirable accessories for the home. There are modern pendant lamps with a hand-applied finish that imitates polished copper, antique silver and a variety of other finishes.
PENDANT LAMP IS BEST FOR DINING ROOMS AND KITCHENS
For general lighting, pendant lamps and chandeliers are most often used. Pendant lamps are lighting fixtures that hang from the ceiling and are adjustable in height. They are suitable for general lighting in medium-sized rooms, as well as for local accents on the table.
For example, a decorative pendant lamp of 2 or 3 parts can be placed on the ceiling in the kitchen, depending on the area of the room, thus adding not only additional targeted lighting, but also a pleasant decorative effect. The best height of the lamps placed centrally above the table is 160 cm from the floor, so that the light does not shine in the eyes, nor does it prevent us from seeing our dinner companions. Dining areas are considered work areas and more concentrated light is needed there. For this purpose, decorative pendant lamps are also usually used, which can be single due to the smaller size of these spaces. The lowest part of the pendant should be at least 60 cm from the table, with about 100 watts of light being sufficient for this area.
Pendant lamps are best suited for the dining room and kitchen, but in modern interiors, single lamps of this type with a small glass diameter or lampshade are often used as bedside lamps in the bedroom. Of course, pendant lamps can also be placed in other rooms, depending on their square footage and the layout of the living area.
Lighting is very important and through it you can achieve different moods.
Brighter when dining or more subdued in the living room next to the sofa for relaxation and unwinding, a romantic candlelit dinner or highlighting an effect like a brick wall and a niche. Lighting can be very impactful, don't underestimate it, but make the most of it.
Before choosing lighting for a given room, it is good to take into account the daylight, the exposure, the architectural solution. In most cases, through appropriate lighting we try to recreate daylight in a given room in the evening or on dark days. This approach is not wrong, as long as we have other options. In all cases, lighting should be subordinate to the furnishings – as highlighting, dividing or uniting spaces, as well as the style when choosing lighting fixtures. Good lighting can enhance the effects and emphasize the qualities of the interior design, while bad lighting can ruin the idea of the project.
