To ensure the pendant light you choose provides an adequate amount of light, you must first decide its purpose.
If you decide it will be more of a decorative pendant light, consider the overall atmosphere of the space and how the light could enhance it. Introducing vintage, antique or glass pendant lights with a decorative bulb creates an decorative focal point within a room. A central pendant in a lounge or living room helps create a wonderful ambience while you sit back and relax.
For task lighting, a metal pendant light combined with a brighter bulb will direct light more efficiently to the spot it is needed, for example over a desk or workbench.
