Pendelleuchten

A pendant light is more than just a source of illumination – it quickly becomes the focal point of a room. Whether above the dining table, in the kitchen or in the living room, hanging lights add structure to your interior and create targeted lighting accents. At EGLO, you’ll find a wide selection of pendant lights, from single fixtures to multi-light designs. This makes it easy to choose the pendant light that suits your style and everyday needs. Alongside design, practical considerations also matter. Size, brightness and light colour all influence how comfortable a room feels. With the right pendant light, you can create the perfect balance between functionality and atmosphere.

Pendant lights for dining tables

Pendant lights above the dining table provide direct and comfortable illumination. The correct installation height is important: ideally, the light should hang around 60–70 cm above the tabletop to avoid glare while ensuring clear visibility. For a cosy atmosphere, approximately 100–150 lm/m² is usually sufficient. Warm white light (2,700–3,300 K) creates an especially inviting ambience. Whether you choose a single pendant light or several pendant lights arranged in a row, your dining table can be illuminated effectively and evenly.

Pendant lights for living rooms

Pendant lights are often used in living rooms to illuminate specific areas. They are ideal above coffee tables or as a central light source within the room. For general lighting, approximately 100–150 lumens per square metre is commonly recommended. Dimmable models allow you to adjust the lighting mood to suit different situations. A well-positioned pendant light adds structure to the room and creates balanced light distribution.

Pendant lights for kitchens & kitchen islands

Functional lighting is essential in the kitchen. A pendant lamp above a work surface provides clear visibility while preparing food. Multiple hanging lights are especially practical above kitchen islands. For these areas, around 250–300 lm/m² is recommended. Neutral white light (3,300–5,300 K) supports focused tasks and everyday kitchen activities. To avoid shadows, make sure pendant lights are positioned evenly across the surface.

Pendant lights for bedrooms

In bedrooms, pendant lights provide a calm and modern lighting solution. Instead of traditional bedside lamps, a pendant light can be installed beside the bed to save space and create a contemporary look. Warm white light (2,700–3,300 K) helps create a relaxed atmosphere. For general lighting, approximately 100–150 lm/m² is usually sufficient. A compact pendant light feels especially light and airy, making it a perfect choice for minimalist interiors.

Modern pendant lights

Modern pendant lights are characterised by clean lines and minimalist designs. These lights are easy to combine with different interior styles and complement a wide range of living spaces. They provide focused illumination while maintaining a subtle presence within the room.

Wooden pendant lights

A wooden pendant light brings warmth and natural character into your home. This makes it especially popular in living rooms and dining areas, where it helps create a cosy atmosphere. Wood pairs beautifully with warm white light and contributes to a soft, welcoming lighting effect.

Glass pendant lights

Pendant lights with glass shades feel light and elegant. These ceiling-hung lights distribute illumination evenly throughout the room. They are particularly suitable for contemporary interiors and smaller spaces where an open, airy appearance is desired.

Dimmable & height-adjustable pendant lights

LED pendant lights offer exceptional flexibility in everyday life. You can adjust the brightness to switch effortlessly between functional task lighting and a cosy atmosphere. Modern LED technology offers flexible lighting options for different everyday situations. Height-adjustable pendant lights are especially practical above dining tables and kitchen islands, allowing you to position the light exactly where it is needed.
