Pendant light

[1] Pendant lights are often used in multiples, hung in a straight line over kitchen countertops and dinette sets or sometimes in bathrooms.

Pendants come in a huge variety of sizes and vary in materials from metal to glass or concrete and plastic.

Many modern pendants are energy-saving low voltage models and some use halogen or fluorescent bulbs.

Pendants should be placed high enough to allow an unobstructed view while either sitting or standing.

A popular place to install pendant lights is over kitchen countertops.
