YOUR GUIDE TO TYPES OF PENDANT LIGHTS
Pendant lights are light fixtures hanging 
from the ceiling. These are usually hung 
from either a metal chain, cord or rod. 
Pendant lights can be used in all spaces of 
your home. Be it task lighting in kitchens, 
ambient lighting in living rooms or dining 
areas, accent lighting in hallways or 
decorative lighting in your living room, 
pendant lights can be used everywhere to 
enhance the overall appearance of your 
home interiors.

Pendant lights are available in a plethora of varieties

1. Linear Pendants
These pendants consist of a long rectangular 
structure with multiple bulbs. The bulbs are 
either surrounded by a material, or they are 
exposed. 
Linear pendants usually look good over longer 
areas such as kitchen islands, pool tables or 
longer work desks where task lighting is a 
significant need. 
One of the best examples is By Living’s 
Ashwood 3 White Pendant Light having three 
exposed bulbs attached to a cylindrical wooden 
panel.

2. Dome Pendants
As the name suggests, this pendant light is 
generally a downward-facing dome. 
It is used for task and accent lighting in living 
rooms, bedrooms, work desks in commercial 
offices or kitchen as a primary or secondary light 
source, depending on size. 
If you are looking around for dome pendants, 
Dome Geometric Concrete Pendant Light by By 
Living is the ultimate statement piece. It was 
named a finalist by the 2018 Gift & Life Instyle 
Awards (GALA) in the Home Furniture & Interiors 
category.

3. Conical and Cylindrical Pendants
Cylindrical and conical pendants are smaller 
and emit a limited amount of light. 
While these cannot be used as a primary 
lighting source, they are perfect for task 
lighting over counters, bar areas or bedroom 
nightstands. 
Some of the most attractive options that you 
can go for are By Living’s 
Cone Concrete Pendant Lights and
 Cylindrical Concrete Pendant Lights.

4. Mini Pendants
Mini pendant lights are minimalistic and smaller 
versions of larger pendant fixtures. These are 
called mini due to the size of the pendant, the size 
of its bulb or the drop length. 
These lights are beneficial for task lighting beside 
bathroom mirrors or bedside tables. 
By Living provides Set of Two Timber concrete 
Contrast Pendant Light and 
Timber Diamond Raw Concrete Pendant Light
 which are the most superior specimens of mini 
pendant lights.
Our Rope Pendant Light Tassel is another unique 
example that has a rope which can be knotted in 
multiple ways.

5. Chandelier
While chandeliers are not referred to as 
pendant lights, these fixtures are inherently 
ornamental pendants. 
Chandeliers are majorly used for decorative and 
ambient lighting and can even be used as a 
primary source of light. 
By Living’s Timber Twig Chandelier is an artistic 
masterpiece for anyone who is looking for 
chandeliers to light up their space while our 5 
Spider Concrete Light Chandelier is a great 
addition to add charm as well as eccentricity to 
any living space.

6. Abstract Pendants
Abstract pendants are not just lighting fixtures; 
they are art pieces designed carefully by 
innovative designers. 
These add a contemporary look to your home 
decor and are used for decorative lighting just 
like chandeliers. They can also be hung from the 
ceilings in large rooms, at spaces where they 
attract attention. 
By Living has an array of cage lights that 
showcase a unique play between light and 
shadows. One of the most out of the box 
specimens is the 
Chandelier Diamond Cage Pendant Light.

7. Exposed Bulb Pendants:
If you are someone who prefers an industrial, 
rustic and minimalist look for your house 
interiors, exposed bulb pendants are made for 
you. 
These essentially consist of large or small bulbs 
on a string. Suitable for both ambient and task 
lighting, these bulbs are not just trendy but also 
light on the pockets. 
Metal Tube Bronze Pendant Light by By Living is 
one of the most distinctive pieces that can be 
hung over a space for task lighting or can be 
combined to create an ultra-modern statement.
