Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How high should I hang them?
   

   The correct height depends on whether the light is over a surface or a walkway:

• Over Dining Tables/Kitchen Islands: The bottom of the fixture should typically be 30 to 36 inches (76–91 cm) above the surface. This provides enough light while keeping sightlines clear across the table.
• In Open Walkways: Maintain a minimum clearance of 7 feet (2.1 meters) from the floor to prevent people from bumping into them.
• Over Nightstands: Bedside pendants should hang 20 to 28 inches above the nightstand for comfortable reading light.

2. How many lights do I need for an island or table?

• The "Rule of Three": For kitchen islands, using three pendants is a standard design choice to create balance.
• Spacing: If using multiple lights, space them 24 to 30 inches apart from center to center. Ensure the outer lights are at least 6 inches away from the edge of the island or table.
• Proportion: For a single statement piece over a round table, the fixture's diameter should be roughly 1/2 to 2/3 of the table's width.

3. What kind of light quality is best?

• Task vs. Ambient: For kitchens (task lighting), choose metal or opaque shades that direct light downward. For living areas (ambient lighting), glass or fabric shades diffuse light more softly.
• Color Temperature: Use 2700K to 3000K (warm white) for cozy areas like bedrooms or dining rooms. Use 3500K to 4000K (cool white/daylight) for task-heavy zones like kitchens.
• Brightness: A medium-sized pendant usually needs 800 to 1,200 lumens (roughly an 8–12W LED).

4. Can I install them with low ceilings ?

If your ceilings are below 9 feet, long pendants can make the room feel cramped. In these cases, consider:

• Semi-Flush Mounts: These drop slightly but stay close to the ceiling.
• Placement Over Furniture: Only use pendants over fixed furniture (like a dining table) where people won't be walking under them.

5. Maintenance and Safety

• Cleaning: Dust regularly with a microfiber cloth. For glass, use a lint-free cloth and mild cleaner to avoid streaks.
• Safety: Always turn off the power at the circuit breaker before installation or deep cleaning. Ensure the ceiling box is rated for the weight of the fixture, especially for heavy chandeliers.

6. How often should I clean them?

Perform a light dusting monthly. In kitchens, where grease accumulates, a "deep clean" with mild soapy water is recommended every 3–6 months to prevent the fixture from looking dull or sticky.

7. Can I use any bulb?

No. Never exceed the maximum wattage listed on the fixture’s socket. Doing so can cause overheating, melting components, or even a fire.

8. What should I do if my light starts flickering?

First, check for a loose bulb or a loose wire connection in the ceiling box. If the connections are tight, the bulb may be reaching the end of its life or is incompatible with your dimmer.

9. Is my ceiling strong enough for a heavy fixture?

Standard electrical boxes can support up to 50 lbs (22.6 kg). For heavier chandeliers, you must install a fan-rated brace or additional timber support between ceiling joists.

10. Can I shorten the cord myself?

Most cord-hung pendants can be shortened by pulling the excess wire into the ceiling canopy or trimming it (if you are comfortable with basic wiring). Chain-hung lights require removing individual links using pliers.
