Cord and rod lengths
Measure from the ceiling to the desired hanging height, and check that the cord or rod can be shortened. High ceilings need long rods or cords, and low ceilings need short drops. Adjustable cords are useful.
Hanging heights
Hang lamps 75 to 85 cm above a dining table, about 60 cm above bedside tables beside beds and at least 2.1 metres above walkways. Check sightlines so lamps do not block faces across a table.
Bulb choice
Use LED bulbs in warm white and check the maximum wattage. Clear glass shows the bulb, so choose attractive filament-style LEDs or use opal covers for glare control.
Clusters and rooms
Clusters of two or three at varied heights suit stairwells and dining areas, single pendants suit kitchens and bedside use. Keep spacing even and visual weight balanced.
Fixing
Fix the ceiling canopy to a joist or slab, and check the weight rating, especially for glass clusters. Wiring and installation should be done by a qualified electrician, with power switched off at the breaker and the circuit rating checked first.
Before you decide
Measure the drop, choose LED bulbs and fix the canopy to a solid point. Compare at least two quotes on the same model and specification, check the wattage, lumens, colour temperature and warranty on the box, keep the invoice and test the product before paying in full. Ask the seller about the return policy for faulty items and whether spare parts or replacement bulbs are available, and photograph the packaging on delivery. Prices change with exchange rates and stock, so confirm the current figure before you decide, and be careful with very low prices on unbranded products with exaggerated wattage claims.
