Different types of pendant lights

The size of the pendant lamp should match the dimensions of your dining table to ensure that all components work together perfectly. Lights that are too large will look overloaded, while models that are too small will inadequately illuminate the table. Whether large or small, square or round, we have the right lamp for your dining room table. Create an inviting ambience.

Single-flame pendant light

This is a large pendant light attached to the centre of the ceiling above the table. It provides a targeted lighting accent. This single luminaire is particularly suitable for smaller or round tables, as it can illuminate the area perfectly despite the small light source.

Multi-flame pendant light

Multiple light sources on a pendant lamp provide extensive, even illumination for longer or larger dining tables.

Linear pendant lights

Pendant lights in a linear style are ideal for rectangular dining tables and long tables, as they illuminate the entire table surface with ease.

Cluster pendant lights

These cluster pendant lights have several light sources arranged at different heights. They set a stylistic accent and create a special atmosphere.

Height-adjustable pendants Height-adjustable pendant lamps

Pendant lamps offer maximum flexibility. They allow you to adapt the lamp perfectly to your needs.

Flexible light for your home - pendant lights with variable height

Height-adjustable pendant lights offer an ideal combination of functionality and design. Whether for a cosy dinner, concentrated work or a social get-together - adjust the height flexibly to suit different room situations and always provide the right lighting. The right height prevents glare and annoying shadows. In general, the pendant light should hang 60 to 80 cm above the tabletop.

• Pulley mechanism: Pull or push the light continuously into the desired position.
• Telescopic rod: A fixed, extendable rod allows you to easily adjust the height.
• Counterweight system: A counterweight allows you to adjust the height of the lamp effortlessly.
• Adjustable suspension: Multi-flame pendant lights with adjustable cables ensure flexible alignment of the individual pendants.
• Shortening the cables: Pull the cables into the ceiling fixture or fix them outside the lamp with cable holders.

The right light colour for every mood

The light colour of a pendant light influences the atmosphere of the entire room. When choosing the light colour, consider your needs and the furnishing style of your dining room. Create the perfect lighting for your dining area.

• Warm white (2700-3000 Kelvin): Warm white light creates a cosy, inviting atmosphere - perfect for a relaxed dinner.
• Neutral white (3500-4000 Kelvin): Neutral white light looks fresh and clear - ideal for a lively and focussed atmosphere when eating and working.
• Daylight white (5000-6500 Kelvin): Cool white light promotes alertness and focus - perfect for modern dining areas with clean lines and functional design.

Energy efficiency and service life

Opt for LED pendant lights or LED light sources with a high energy efficiency class (A to G) and a long service life. LED lights have a service life of approx. 20,000 to 50,000 hours.

Practical functions Modern

pendant lights offer more than just beautiful light - they impress with clever functions that make your everyday life easier. With these practical functions, your pendant light becomes a versatile highlight in the dining room - for light that adapts perfectly to your life.

• Smart home control: This great function allows you to control your pendant lamp conveniently via app, voice control or remote control.

Design and style

Emphasise your dining area with a pendant light that perfectly matches your interior style. Clean lines and metal or glass elements create a modern look. Robust materials such as metal mesh or concrete reflect an industrial style and give your dining room an urban flair. Set accents with lamps in different shapes and colours, for example in retro style. If you prefer a bright, friendly or cosy, warm atmosphere, then let yourself be enchanted by our Scandinavian or country house style models. Create a harmonious overall look throughout the room by choosing a matching pendant light.
