Pendant luminaire wood

Wooden pendant lights

With its special charm, the dining room is one of the most important areas of the home. This is where the whole family usually comes together to enjoy a cosy evening meal, talk about the day and spend time together. To ensure that everyone feels completely at ease, it is essential to create a cosy atmosphere in the dining area. However, this requires not only comfortable chairs and a beautiful table, but also an aesthetically pleasing lamp. In this case, a wooden pendant light is the ideal eye-catcher. The pendant light with its rustic look blends in perfectly with the cosy ambience during dinner and accompanies you with warm light throughout your time together with the family.

Wooden pendant lights in a special shape

These light compositions can be described as pendant lights that are mounted on the ceiling and hang down from it to illuminate the area below. For this reason, they can be categorised as secondary lighting , as they only illuminate parts of a room. The pendant lamp usually consists of two cables at the upper end, a central element in the form of a piece of wood and several lighting elements. These can be flame-shaped and consist of up to six individual light bulbs. Some models are also equipped with a lampshade , which is made of natural materials such as textile or metal and is available in the colours anthracite, black and many more. The light source is always a powerful and environmentally friendly LED, which in some cases can even be dimmed by touch . If individual spots are available, they can also be moved and individually adjusted so that you can create a unique atmosphere in your living room, dining room or any other room of your choice with your LED pendant light.

The ideal room for the pendant light

The wooden pendant lights in our range are primarily designed for the dining area . There, they can be mounted above the table and provide appropriate lighting during dinner or an evening of games. However, this type of ceiling light is also suitable wherever a table needs to be emphasised. This applies, for example, to tables in the kitchen or coffee tables in the living room where people may also be eating.

The right height for the pendant lamp

The basic rule is: the light should hang high enough so that you are not disturbed by it or bump your head against the lampshades. It is recommended that the model is mounted around 60 to 70 centimetres above the table surface. This prevents you from being dazzled by the light construction. To reach this height, you may need to shorten the textile cable of the hanging lamp, while some models are conveniently height-adjustable .

What should you consider before installing the pendant lamp?

Wooden pendant lamps for the dining table are currently very much in vogue and have already established themselves among furniture thanks to their classic and modern design in a combination of wood and metal. However, there are a few factors to consider before installation. For example, an incorrectly installed light can quickly cast unwanted shadows or not sufficiently illuminate the area for which you have purchased the light. This can happen, for example, if a light is mounted too high. Depending on the size of your dining table, you should also ensure that you use a suitably long wooden pendant light.

Installing the lights correctly

Wooden pendant lights are usually installed on the ceiling with one or more cables. These models therefore require a different installation than flat ceiling lamps. You can carry out simple processes such as drilling certain holes in the ceiling or fixing the light source in the socket yourself. However, when it comes to the electrical installation, you should have this carried out by an expert . This will reduce the risk of injury to yourself both during installation and during subsequent use. Professional installation also ensures that your light works correctly and remains as good as new for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Which interior design style suits wooden pendant lights?

Wooden lights fit in wonderfully with the Scandinavian style, radiating a natural warmth with their rustic charm. In combination with antique surfaces, a vintage pendant light also brings a touch of nostalgia into your own four walls. In its simple form, however, a modern pendant light made of robust metal can also create a natural warmth with its warm white light.

How do I clean a wooden pendant light?

First switch off the lamp and remove dust and dirt from the lampshade or the individual components with a feather duster or microfibre cloth. Never use aggressive cleaning agents on wood and only dampen your cloth instead of soaking it completely with water.

What advantage does wood have over other materials for pendant lights?

Wood can be processed into many shapes and, as a renewable raw material, is an environmentally friendly material in the production of lamps. It can also absorb sound, which benefits room acoustics by reducing reverberation.
