Industrial-style metal pendant lights

Plan one pendant per area to light: a bar or a large bell above the table, a compact round format above an island or in an entryway. The metal industrial pendant lights gathered here are for indoor use, in steel, iron, brass or aluminium, with E27, G9, GU10, G4 or integrated LED sockets.

What light does a metal industrial pendant give?

A metal industrial pendant light casts light mostly downwards, and the bare material makes it crisp and high-contrast. The collection covers warm white 2700 to 3500 K up to cool white 4500 to 6500 K, with wattages from 8 to 44 W, most often LED. Metal does not filter light, it reflects it.

Integrated LED or screw-in bulb?

An integrated LED bar such as the GALAKSE 148 black lights in one piece over 148 cm and needs no bulb changes. A socketed model, by contrast, lets you choose the bulb: the Vilo pendant takes a G9 and accepts warm or cool white. The result therefore changes twice, first with the shade shape and then with the bulb fitted inside, as with modern LED pendants.

Warm, neutral or cool white: which temperature for which room?

Around 2700 to 3000 K, the light leans amber and suits a dining room or bedroom. At around 4000 K, it becomes whiter and stays readable above a worktop. Above 5000 K, it takes on a cool tone that highlights bare metal, as on the VALO black pendant lamp, without warming the room.

Where to install a metal industrial pendant in the home?

The collection is intended first for the kitchen and living room, then for the dining room, bedroom, hallway and entryway. Above a worktop, choose a compact format or an aligned bar; above a dining table, a wide format lights all the guests without dazzling them.

Industrial pendant above an island or worktop

Over a worktop, light should fall straight down to avoid shadows from your hands. A short bar such as the SENKEI A, 98.4 cm long, lights a prep line, and two aligned round formats do the same job above an island. For this room, browse the LED pendants for kitchen.

Which model for a bedroom, hallway or entryway?

In a bedroom, a round format of 17 to 25 cm is enough and stays out of the line of sight from the bed. A long hallway benefits from two or three aligned points rather than one, which gives rhythm to the passage, and a single pendant hung at the right height acts as a marker in the entryway. The black pendants for bedroom and the white versions cover both moods.

Which format and size of metal pendant should you choose?

The format is chosen according to the furniture to be lit: a long bar such as SENKEI or GALAKSE covers a large table, a compact round of 17 to 25 cm is enough above a round table or in an entryway, a large bell such as Cara fills a tall room. Cable heights go up to 160 cm.

Long pendant or round compact format?

A linear bar follows the shape of the furniture: rectangular for a worktop, long for a table seating ten. The SENKEI C pendant, at 138.4 cm, leaves a consistent overhang on each side of a two-metre table. The compact round suits when the room or furniture is narrow, and a large bell such as the Cara pendant is justified under a high ceiling.

At what height should you hang a pendant above a dining table?

Generally, lower the shade low enough to concentrate light on the tabletop, around 70 to 80 cm above the table, without blocking the view of the guests. Cable heights on the models range from 131 to 160 cm depending on the reference, which leaves room to adjust. The light-coloured models are less noticeable in a small space.

Black, white or gold metal pendants: which colour should you choose?

Black draws a crisp silhouette and visually disappears once switched off, white blends into a light ceiling and lightens a small room, gold warms an interior in brown or grey tones. The NOX models come in several colours for the same format, so everything can be matched.

Black metal pendants

Black is the most common colour in the selection: painted steel on VALO, metal on ENKEL, aluminium on GALAKSE. It structures a light room and stands up to contact with brass or wood. Find them among the black metal pendants, with a more graphic variation in the black design pendants.

Light metal pendants for small rooms

In a narrow entryway or under a low ceiling, white or beige is less noticeable than black and lets the room breathe. The more discreet white models pair with a light wall. Against a dark background, it is the gold finishes that bring a warm reflection.

Industrial chandelier or pendant: what is the difference?

A pendant lights from one main point, a chandelier brings several together on one structure. A large industrial chandelier therefore suits large tables and tall volumes, where a single pendant would leave dark areas. Both families sit side by side in the collection.

The large industrial chandelier with several light points

When the table is over two metres, several sources are better than one: the three-point ENKEL 3P set spreads light along the length, and the Olen driftwood chandelier combines metal with wood for a more horizontal look. The number of points is chosen according to the length of the furniture.

Industrial kitchen chandelier: which model should you choose?

Above a worktop, a bulky volume gets in the way. The vintage black and gold kitchen chandelier
