How to choose a pendant light
The starting point is the purpose of the room and how light is layered. Over a dining table or kitchen island we use more directional, sharper light that defines the eating area. In living rooms and hallways we prefer softer diffuse fixtures that build atmosphere without creating harsh shadows. Consider the shade material (metal, glass, textile, paper), lumen output, colour temperature and dimming compatibility. If the space is wired for DALI or another dimmable circuit, always verify that the specific model is compatible.
