The centrepiece of a room has many layers beyond just paint, wall art, and furniture. Hanging lights are a great way to add depth to your living space by producing an interesting visual pattern with shadows on the walls and ceilings, while also taking some of the workload off your hands. In this blog post, we’ll help you learn about all of the hanging light types that you have at your disposal!
The Benefits of Hanging Lights
Hanging lights are an excellent solution for producing extra light in the kitchen or reading light in the bedroom. The attractive aesthetic of swaths of hanging lights provides an opulent feel to the home too. Typical lighting fixtures provide just one beam of light, but can produce more than 1,000 lumens! Lighting is one of the most important yet underrated factors when designing a room. Hanging lights are great to use when decorating too, because they make the room appear brighter. With hanging lights, you don’t have to worry about funky shadows or ceiling fixtures showing through your fixture. Electrical cables and lights in the ceiling are also a problem area for some people, so they can easily install beautiful, practical, and affordable LED string lighting in their home or office.
Why Choose a Hanging Light?
When you’re first starting to look for hanging lamps, it can be tempting to just buy the first one you see. This is because they come in so many different varieties-some clips on the ceiling, some hang from a rod on the wall, and some plug into an outlet. The good thing about hanging lamps is that there are so many options available for buyers to choose from. But before spending any money on new lights, you should think about your specific needs and not just pick out one of the trending ones. The popularity of a hanging light in recent years is due to a lot of factors. For one thing, they provide a good amount of brightness for a certain space.
Which Type of Hanging Light is the Best for My Home?
The type of light you need can depend on a few factors, such as the style of your room and the size. A round fixture will fit nicely over a dining table if it’s allowed space to hang down from the ceiling, or if it hangs from hooks that are already closely spaced together. For a living room covered in obstacles, a flush-mount option is recommended because it sits directly on the ceiling. Wall mounted lights are an excellent choice for those who want to keep the room as natural as possible, as they perform as well as, if not better than, a chandelier.They allow you to place them anywhere in the room and they’re available at a good price point. Ceiling pendant lights come with reflective shades that limit glare and provide directional lighting. You can also consider a completely flush mounted flush mount fixture housing a dimmer switch that will provide the right type of light from any angle.
Cabling Considerations:
The length of wire between the pendant light and the plug will play a role in the optimal solution for mounting that particular light. Mounting it too low can result in straining with long reaching arms, so pay strict attention to how high up you have the hanging installation point. Electrical cables will not be able to extend that far, and if you place it too low, then your final decision on how the pendant should operate may never be fully realized.
In conclusion
The right type of hanging light can make a big difference in lessening energy usage and costs, while providing the perfect lighting for your space. Whether you prefer track lights or sconces, home owners will find that there is a suitable type of high performing lighting available to them by continuing to follow this article’s advice.
