Pendant Lighting: What You Need to Know About the Latest Trends

If you’re like many people, you may think of 1970s swag when you hear someone mention pendant lighting. However, these fixtures are making a huge comeback, with a modern twist. Today’s pendant lighting is less bulky and more versatile than you may know.

Modern Lighting Technology With Pendant Lighting

Thanks to today’s lightweight materials, gone is the heavy metal chain with power cord woven through. Most of today’s hanging fixtures are compact and feature cool, energy-efficient LED light sources. Since LEDs are so much smaller than incandescent or fluorescent bulbs, your pendant lighting fixture can be as bold or unobtrusive as you want it to be.

Add Interest to Vertical Space

Pendant lighting is an excellent choice for corners, nooks or smaller spaces where hanging light is desired but a chandelier would be too large. It can be particularly attractive where you have higher or vaulted ceilings. Choose a brushed metallic tube and fixture, or a color to complement your paint.

A Stylish Alternative to Track Lighting

Track lighting will never truly go out of style, but it’s hardly trend-setting. Additionally, hanging fixtures offer greater versatility in style than you can get from track lighting alone. From minimalist drops to high-interest ceiling attachment fixtures, today’s pendant lighting can add artistry or unobtrusively light your space. You can even find combination track and pendant fixtures for a sleek, ultra-modern twist.
