Pendant lights for every room and style
A pendant light is often the centrepiece of a room. Above the dining table or kitchen island, pendant lights provide both directed light and atmosphere, while a pendant light in the living room, hallway or bedroom makes a statement. At LumenXL, you will find pendant lights in a wide variety of styles, materials and sizes, so there is a suitable model for every taste and budget. Because you can set the suspension height yourself, the lamp always hangs in the perfect position.
What to look for when choosing a pendant light
Start with the lamp holder. Most pendant lights work with an E27 lamp holder, while smaller and more delicate models often have an E14 or G9 lamp holder. This allows you to choose the right light source yourself and set the light colour and brightness exactly as you like. Also pay attention to the number of lamp holders and the diameter of the lamp: above a long dining table, a wide model or multi-light pendant looks great, while a single lamp is ideal above a bedside table or in a corner. For flexible control over the brightness, choose a dimmable model. Our 3-step dimmable pendant lights can be set to three brightness levels without the need for a separate dimmer.
Materials and styles
The material largely determines the look of a pendant light. Choose glass for a light, refined look, or a fabric shade for a warm, soft atmosphere. natural materials such as wood, bamboo and rattan also bring a natural warmth to your interior. Travertine is also popular for a natural, luxurious look. In terms of colour, black pendant lights are a timeless choice that suits almost any interior, while gold pendant lights provide a chic accent.
There is also plenty of choice when it comes to style. Industrial pendant lights in metal and concrete suit a rugged interior, while modern and designer pendant lights in glass and metal are sleek and atmospheric. If you like calm and natural tones, take a look at our Japandi and wabi-sabi pendant lights. For an understated, timeless look, minimalist pendant lights are a lovely option.
Special versions
Alongside the classic models, our range also includes pendant lights with special features. Pendant lights with integrated LED are sleek in design, energy-efficient and made to last for years, without you having to choose a separate light source. If you have a stairwell or high ceiling, choose a model from our high ceiling category, with an extra-long suspension system. And if you want a minimalist look, cord pendants are ideal: a single light source on a sleek cord, perfect on its own or arranged in a cluster.
How high should you hang a pendant light above the table?
A pendant light above the dining table is best hung 80 to 100 cm above the tabletop. This gives you plenty of light on the table while keeping a clear view of the person opposite you, without the risk of bumping your head. Most pendant lights can be adjusted in length, so you can easily adjust the height to suit your space and ceiling height.
Which light bulb is best suited to a pendant light?
Most of our pendant lights are suitable for an E27 light bulb, available in various shapes, sizes and light colours. Smaller models often use an E14 or G9 lamp holder. For a cosy atmosphere in the living or dining room, choose warm white light (around 2700K). For lamps without integrated LED, you can choose the light bulb yourself. The type of lamp holder you need is always listed in the product details.
