Measure the clear height between the ceiling and the surface to be lit, then choose a model whose adjustable cable covers that distance. An industrial pendant light is recognised by its metal, steel, aluminium or concrete shade, held by a cable, with a GU10, E27, G9 socket or an integrated LED. All the pieces in this selection are IP20, so intended for dry interiors.

What is an industrial pendant light?
An industrial pendant light is a pendant fixed to the ceiling by a cable, with a shade in metal, steel, aluminium or concrete. It uses a GU10 or E27 socket or an integrated LED, in IP20 for interiors. It is recognised by its visible structure and its tube, cylinder or cage shapes. The industrial style covers nearly three quarters of the pieces here, often tube shaped.
What is a hanging light called?
The common name is "pendant". We speak of a hanging chandelier when the fixture brings together several light points or a wide decorative shade. In this selection, the pendants are fixed to the ceiling by an adjustable cable and connect to a GU10, E27 or G9 socket or an LED module. To place the nearby shapes, browse all the pendants.
Industrial style hanging chandelier: how to recognise it?
It shows its materials: steel, aluminium, glass or concrete, with no cover to hide the structure. The widest ones are spotted by their diameter, like the Solvina pendant, in metal and glass, at 52 cm in diameter. Others settle for a single cylinder or tube. To compare worked shapes, look at the original models.
Which industrial pendant to choose for the kitchen?
For a kitchen, aim for a tube or aluminium pendant: it lights the worktop without taking up space. The selection offers GU10 models of 10 W, long LED tubes for large tables and E27 pendants. Check three points before confirming: the length of the fixture, the cable height and the number of light points.
Industrial style pendant light for the kitchen
The long LED tubes were designed for this: Alalinano measures 138.4 cm, Hoshiko 118.4 cm and Senkeia 98.4 cm, with a cable going up to 150 cm. These three models come in warm white and neutral white, which leaves the choice between a soft mood and a sharper light above the worktops. Find them among the kitchen lights.
Black industrial style pendant light
Black remains the most legible shade on this style, and it holds well above a dark worktop as well as on light wood. Borvin, Marranessa, Pavlora and Marranilo come in black, with other finishes depending on the model. Compare the black industrial pendants. For a more colourful touch, also see the green pendants.

What light does an industrial pendant light give?
The light depends on the bulb or the LED module, not on the shape of the shade. The selection shows two temperatures: warm white from 2700 to 3500 K and neutral white from 3500 to 4500 K, on the models with integrated LED. GU10 and E27 sockets let you choose the bulb, and therefore the mood. Some pieces accept a dimmer.
Warm white or neutral white: which to choose?
Warm white, around 2700 to 3500 K, suits the living room, the bedroom and above a table, because it stays soft in the evening. Neutral white, from 3500 to 4500 K, is justified in a kitchen or an office, where you want to read and cut without a colour cast. Alalinano, Hoshiko and Senkeia let you switch between the two. See the LED lights for living room.
Can a dimmer be installed on an industrial pendant?
Yes, provided the model is designed for it. A small part of the pieces accept a dimmer, like the Véra bottle green, in enamelled metal, supplied with an adjustable cable. On a pendant with an E27 or GU10 socket, it is the chosen bulb that decides compatibility with the dimmer. Check the product sheet and the bulb instructions before buying.
| Socket | Bulb required | Temperatures found | Models spotted |
|---|---|---|---|
| GU10 | GU10 bulb | Depending on the chosen bulb | Borvin, Marranessa, Pavlora, Ilyana, Nymira |
| E27 | E27 bulb | Depending on the chosen bulb | Solvina, Véra, Ivalis, Dovanna, Ysolina |
| LED | Integrated LED module | Warm white 2700 to 3500 K and neutral white 3500 to 4500 K | Alalinano, Hoshiko, Senkeia |
| G9 | G9 bulb | Depending on the chosen bulb | Present in the collection |
Black, metal or wood industrial pendant: which material to choose?
Metal and steel dominate the selection, with variants in aluminium, glass, wood and concrete. A black or metal pendant asserts the industrial style; wood and concrete bring a rawer and more matte texture. The choice depends above all on the room and the light rendering you want.
Metal industrial pendant lights
Steel and metal hold their shape and clean easily. Ivalis, Dovanna and Ysolina are in steel, with an E27 socket of 15 W and a cable going up to 110, 125 and 130 cm. An opaque shade directs the light downwards, which suits above a worktop or a table. Compare the moods in the dining room lights.
Industrial style pendant light and wood
Wood pairs well with black metal, and concrete plays the same mineral card: the Ilyana raw concrete measures 8 cm in diameter for 105 cm maximum height, with a GU10 socket of 10 W. Some models mix steel and concrete, like Nymira. See the wood and black.
At what height should a pendant be hung above the dining table?
The height is set by the cable, adjustable on most models. Above a dining table, place the bottom of the fixture high enough not to obstruct the view or the passage, then adjust once the table is in place. The maximum cable height is given on each product sheet.
What cable height for a pendant above an island?
Above an island or a worktop, you generally aim to keep the fixture out of the line of sight when working standing, often around 70 to 85 cm above the surface depending on people's height. Alalinano, Hoshiko and Senkeia go up to 150 cm of cable, which leaves room under a high ceiling.
How to adjust the height of an industrial pendant?
Switch off the power, loosen the cable clamp on the mount, slide the cable to the desired length then tighten again. Have someone help you hold the fixture during the adjustment. Note the maximum height on the sheet: 108 cm for Borvin in aluminium, 130 cm for Ysolina in steel. Finally check that the fixture is level.
Industrial chandelier or industrial pendant: what is the difference?
An industrial pendant generally lights with a single light point, whereas an industrial chandelier groups several or adopts a clearly wider format. A large industrial chandelier finds its place in an entrance or a living room with high volume. A simple pendant is enough above a table or a worktop.
Industrial style chandelier: what use?
Reserve it for rooms where you want a centrepiece and where the ceiling is high enough to hang it without obstruction. Look at the number of light points, the diameter and the cable height. For large rooms, explore the high-end pieces. For a more understated living room, compare the living room pendants.
Large industrial chandelier: how to integrate it?
Centre it on the living area, or align several pendants rather than one large volume if the ceiling is low. In a living room, a large format pairs well with raw materials, metal or concrete. The Marranessa pendant, long and narrow, remains an alternative when space is short.
Where to find an industrial pendant light when looking in Lyon?
The Designix selection can be viewed online, with customer service, secure payment, tracked delivery and returns. For a project in Lyon, compare the models by socket, diameter and cable height, then confirm the connection with an installer. The choice comes down to the room and the type of light, not availability in a single point of sale.
Light shop Lyon: which criteria to compare?
In a shop as online, ask for the same thing: the socket, the diameter, the maximum cable height, the shade material and the light temperature if the module is integrated. These five pieces of information are enough to rule out an unsuitable model. The rest, finish and shape, is a matter of taste. A large industrial chandelier is also judged by its weight, to check before drilling.
Clearance lights Lyon: how to check a model?
A clearance model is still a light to check: stated material, socket, dimensions and presence of the instructions. Check the stated warranty, from two to five years depending on the pieces. On budget, this selection goes from affordable models to exceptional pieces. Browse the world of lighting and the copper lights.
How to make an industrial pendant light yourself?
You can assemble an industrial pendant light with an E27 or GU10 socket, a cable, a cage or a metal shade. The connection to the mains must be carried out by a professional, and the assembly must remain IP20 for dry indoor use. Comparing a ready-to-install model often avoids cable gauge mistakes.
Making an industrial pendant light: which elements?
Three elements matter: the socket, the cable and the shade. The cable must hold the weight of the whole and withstand the heat of the bulb. A metal or glass shade sends the light downwards, a fabric shade diffuses it. To compare renderings, see the fabric lights.
DIY industrial pendant or ready-to-install model?
DIY takes time and requires checking every part, whereas a finished model arrives with its instructions, its mount and its dimensions already validated. Ivalis, Ysolina and Nymira cover the compact formats. If you want a clean result, start from a ready-to-install model and keep the tinkering for the finishing touches. Find the black range for these formats.
How to install and maintain an industrial pendant?
Installation starts by switching off the power at the breaker, then fixing the mount to the ceiling and connecting according to the instructions. The whole selection is IP20, so reserved for dry interiors. Dust the shade with a soft cloth and check the cable clamps once a year. The warranty stated on the sheet runs from two to five years depending on the model.
How to install an industrial pendant on the ceiling?
Mark the position, check that no pipe runs directly above, drill and fix the base plate. Connect the wires according to the instructions, live, neutral and earth where it exists, then lock the cable at the desired height before restoring the power. If in doubt about the connection, call a professional. For a worktop, look at the design kitchen lights.
How to maintain a metal pendant light?
A soft dry cloth is enough on steel, aluminium and painted metal; avoid abrasive products that scratch the finish. On raw concrete, dust without wetting. Check the cable clamp and the condition of the bulb once a year. In a small room, prefer a small diameter: see the toilet lights.
Once the socket and the height are confirmed, the rest comes down to the finish: compare Ivalis in black or white steel and Pavlora in aluminium tube, then order the shade that follows your room. Designix supports the choice with customer service, secure payment, tracked delivery and returns.
Frequently asked questions about industrial style pendant lights
Which lights are in fashion?
In this selection, tube pendants, cylindrical shapes and black or white finishes clearly dominate. Concrete models and long LED tubes for kitchen and office bring the most current industrial touch. Metal and glass pairings remain present. The choice depends above all on the room, the socket and the available height.
Original lights: how to recognise them?
An original light stands out by a shape that breaks away from the classic circle or square: tube, cylinder, ball or asymmetrical composition. Here, the concrete models, the long LED tubes and the metal shades play this card. They fit into a living room, a kitchen or a hallway without dominating the room.
Industrial chandelier: how to choose it?
First look at the number of light points, the diameter and the cable height. A large format suits an entrance or a living room with high volume; under a low ceiling, several aligned pendants work better. Also check the socket, which determines the bulb, and the weight of the fixture before drilling.
Do you need a large industrial chandelier in a living room?
Not necessarily. A large industrial chandelier suits high volumes and entrances, but a medium-sized living room is often satisfied with a single pendant or two or three aligned pendants. Look at the diameter, the maximum height and the socket. The selection covers both uses, from compact to large format.
Toilet lights: what can be installed?
In a toilet, a compact industrial pendant works if the room is dry and the ceiling high enough. The whole collection is IP20, so suited to dry interior volumes. Favour a small diameter and a GU10 socket or an integrated LED. A wall light can complete the lighting above the washbasin.
