Dining Room Lighting
It may sound strange, but food and light complement each other very well. Light is especially important over the dining room table, as food often looks even more delicious if it is brightly lit. Furthermore, feature lighting will enable you to create a sense of style for your dining area.
How high should the pendant lamp hang above the dining table? The 80:20 rule.
A pendant light should never dazzle, which is why height plays an integral role in the design of your space. If in doubt, you may need to consider a height-adjustable light. You can use 80cm +/- 20cm above the table as a guideline for positioning the light.
How can you adjust the height of a pendant light?
The easiest way to shorten the cable is to pull the light into the ceiling cover (also called the canopy). Depending on how much space there is, you can accommodate more or fewer cables. But be careful, as not all rise-and-fall pendant lights have this capability.
Never cut your pendant light’s cables or suspensions as this could put you in danger and your warranty will be invalid.
If you want to vary the height of your pendant lighting once it has been installed, we would recommend our rise-and-fall pendant lights.
