Inverted Pendant Light
Also known as the bowl-shaped pendant, the inverted pendant light features a glass that opens up to the ceiling. This means that the light is directed upwards. The light that the inverted pendant light radiates is more diffused, perfect for a glare-free ambient lighting.
Conventional Pendant Light
Also known as the down light pendant, the conventional pendant light features a glass that opens down to the floor. This means that the light it emits is directed downwards. This lighting fixture delivers a more concentrated light, perfect for task lighting and accent lighting.
Island Pendant Light
An island pendant light is a longer lighting fixture that uses a long fluorescent light or multiple bulbs, or it can be an arrangement of multiple pendant lights in a line or a track to create a richer ambient lighting. This is used to bring attention to a particular space or room in the home, or to create an easy transition from one area to another.
Aside from these three types of lighting pendant, this light fixture comes in various sizes, designs, styles, finishes, and materials. With the large selection of pendant lights, you will surely find something that will match your home interior design and will convey your unique taste and style. No matter if it is an inverted, conventional, or island pendant, the lighting pendant is the “jewel” of the entire lighting family.
