Modern bedroom pendant light

For most bedrooms, plan on a diameter of 30 to 50 cm and a warm white bulb: the pendant hangs above the bed or at the centre of the ceiling and is adjusted at the cable so it does not cross your line of sight. Ball, oval or tube shapes, E27 socket, IP20, here is how to decide.

Which type of modern bedroom pendant light should you choose?

In a bedroom, you want a pendant that spreads light widely and low, to illuminate without dazzling from the bed: a closed shape or a shade, an E27 socket that takes a warm white bulb, a diameter in proportion to the room. Strongly directional sources serve a worktop better than a bedside.

Contemporary bedroom pendant or modern bedroom chandelier: how to decide?

A pendant carries one source and sits at a single point on the ceiling; a chandelier brings several together and takes up more width.

How do you install and care for a modern bedroom pendant?

First work out the useful height: 30 to 145 cm below the ceiling depending on the model, with a 1.5 m cable on Sahel and a height of 160 cm on Maze. Switch off the breaker, check the strength of the fixing point, then lock the cable before restoring power.

Cleaning metal, glass, fabric or bamboo

Dust dry and cold, without abrasive products. On glass and acrylic, a microfibre cloth is enough. On a fabric shade, a soft brush or a vacuum on minimum power. On bamboo and wood, a barely damp cloth, never wet.
