Let’s first make sure we’re talking about the right kind of lighting.
Pendant lights are probably the most common type of room lighting, built as standard in most houses, they’re not complex, so they’re relatively easy to add or swap out.
There are different types of pendant lights, but the most common is the hanging light. It’s designed to be suspended from the ceiling by a wire or chain and has a shade that hangs down, made in various designs and materials, such as glass, metal framed with fabric and others.
Pendant lights can be used as your main source of light in a room or as accent lighting. They can be hung in a line over a countertop as task lighting, or a cluster over a dining room table. But at minimum, you’re likely to find one situated around the centre of the ceiling area.
