Dining table pendant lights

Dining table pendant lights

The lighting above a dining table serves multiple purposes. During dinner, there’s a need for ambient lighting. However, for tasks, more light is necessary. In many homes, the dining table serves as a central place with various functions. In all these moments, the lighting should seamlessly adjust.

How do I determine the hanging height of my pendant light above the dining table?

An important consideration is the height of the pendant light above a dining table. The light should not glare when you’re sitting at the table. If the light hangs too high, you might find yourself looking into the light. If it hangs too low, you’ll feel like you have to constantly look underneath it. In many cases, the ideal height is between 60 – 80 cm measured from the tabletop. Try out different heights when mounting the light.

The different functions of pendant lights above a dining table

Determine beforehand what function the dining table serves. Is it mainly used in the evenings or is it also the place where work is done during the day? Adjust the lighting according to the room’s function.

How many lights should I hang above my dining table?

Are you going for one centerpiece directly above the table or are you opting for multiple lights? Of course, you can hang two identical lights next to each other. Nowadays, it’s also increasingly common to see different lights hung next to each other. The choice is enormous, and more and more options are available.
