Wooden LED pendant lights

Start by counting the space and the length to light: a table calls for a low, wide dome, an island for an elongated bar, a hallway for a compact format. All the wood pendant lights in this collection are for indoor use, IP20, most often with an E27 socket or an integrated LED module.

What kind of light does a wooden LED pendant give?

The wood pendant lights in this collection light interiors with warm white light of 2700 to 3500 K or neutral white of 3500 to 4500 K, and an IP20 rating. The wood softens the diffusion under the shade, without glare above a table or a worktop.

Warm white or neutral white: which mood?

Warm white (2700 to 3500 K) leans yellow and sets an evening mood: it suits the living room, the bedroom and a dining room. Neutral white (3500 to 4500 K) renders colours more sharply, which helps above a worktop. These two ranges are those found on the models in the collection, and nothing cooler appears there.

Is a wooden LED pendant dimmable?

Some models accept a dimmer, provided the bulb or module supports it too. Tivola, Quarnaro, Halvora, Garwen and Velnorara are stated as compatible. To widen the choice, browse the dimmable models: handy in a living room where you lower the light in the evening without switching it off.

Which room for a wooden LED pendant?

These pendants are mostly used in the kitchen, dining room and living room, more rarely in a bedroom, hallway or corridor. For a table, choose a low and wide model; for a worktop or an island, an elongated bar or a small dome aimed downwards.

Wooden pendant for the kitchen and dining room

Above an island, a long bar covers the whole length from a single fixing point; above a table, a wide dome lights without dazzling the guests. Valsameno in light wood sphere and black cable shows this compromise well. Find other ideas among the models designed for the kitchen.

And in a living room, a bedroom, a corridor?

In a living room, the fixture is seen switched off as much as switched on: a wide dome or rings play that role. In a bedroom, a compact format placed out of the line of sight from the bed is better. To refine, compare a wooden pendant for the living room and the wooden pendants for the bedroom.

Wood alone, wood and metal, glass and wood: which version to choose?

Wood alone brings warmth, wood combined with metal or steel structures the silhouette, glass and wood lighten the volume, and brass adds a golden note. All versions remain IP20, so for indoor use only.

Wood and metal pendants: what effect?

Alder plays light wood and black metal on four dome shades, Alvéo assembles black rings and light wood on 20 cm of diameter. The metal draws the line, the wood keeps the warmth: a balance that works in a hallway as well as a dining room. See when wood meets metal.

Glass and wood pendant: when to prefer it?

Glass lets light through and reduces the effect of mass, which helps in a small room or in front of a dark wall. Garwen and Velnorara combine glass and wood on 20.5 cm of length. Other references are found in the glass and wood versions.

Which socket and wattage for a wooden LED pendant?

The E27 socket dominates in this selection, ahead of integrated LED modules, GU10, G9 and E14. With a socket, you choose the bulb; with an integrated LED, the lighting is set at the factory. The wattages found range from 5 to 50 W depending on the model.

E27 socket or integrated LED: what to choose?

An E27 socket lets you replace the bulb and change the light temperature later: Alder, Alvéo, Arielle, Ginara, Frikka, Fanora, Dualia and Boiselle are in this case. An integrated LED module, as on Tivola, gives a continuous line with no visible bulb.

Should you plan for an extra bulb?

Yes for models with an E27, E14, GU10 or G9 socket: the bulb is not included. Plan for an LED bulb at the chosen temperature. On Valsameno in GU10, on Quarnaro and Halvora in G9, on Garwen and Velnorara in E14, check the format before ordering.

Which shape and size for your table or your room?

Shapes range from the dome of 34 to 38 cm to rings of 20 cm, via spheres of 12 to 15 cm and elongated bars of 108 to 114 cm. A large table calls for a wide piece or a long line, a corridor for a compact format.

Modern design elongated wooden LED pendant: for which table?

An elongated model is chosen for a large table or an island: the bars in this selection measure 108 to 114 cm and light the whole length from a single fixing point. The Flamma bar and its light ribbon plays that role. Tivola, long black bar with dimmer gives a more graphic version.

Small formats for a hallway or a corridor

On a small surface, a sphere of 12 to 15 cm or a ring of 20 cm is enough. Arielle, wood frame and textile cable fits in 8 cm of width and 24 cm of depth, which suits a corridor or an office. For other silhouettes, look at the wooden pendants with elaborate design.

At what height and how to hang a pendant from the ceiling?

Cable heights are adjustable, from 74 cm on compact domes up to more than 300 cm on long-cable models, which lets you adjust the light point above the table. Fixing is done by ceiling rose or ceiling box depending on the model.

Pendant height above the dining table

In general, aim for a low light point, around 70 to 80 cm above the tabletop, to light the plates without dazzling seated guests. The maximum height goes down to 74 cm on compact domes like Frikka or Ginara, and up beyond 300 cm on Valsameno. Adjust the length before fixing.

Fixing the fixture to the ceiling: what is included

Depending on the model, fixing goes through a ceiling rose or a ceiling box, both included. Tivola comes with its box, Halvora and Quarnaro with a ceiling rose. You need to drill the support and fit screws and plugs suited to the weight of the fixture. No drill-free adapter is included.

Black or white wooden LED pendant: which colour to choose?

Black and white dominate this selection, followed by brown, beige and blue. Wood and black suits kitchens and dark rooms, wood and white brightens a Scandinavian interior or a small room, natural wood warms a living room.

Wood and black LED pendant: what to match it with?

Wood and black suits rooms where black already exists: kitchen, dining room, hallway. Alvéo combines black rings and light wood, Dualia pairs two white shades with wood stems. To go further, see the black finishes on wood.

White and light wood: what effect in a dark room?

White and light wood reflect light and lighten a dark wall or a small volume. The Frikka pendant comes in white as well as black, which leaves the choice once the room is measured. For the mood, compare the Scandinavian spirit in light wood and the models in white wood.

From accessible models to signature pieces

Steel domes, like Ginara and its pavilion fixing or Fanora and its wood ceiling rose, remain in the most accessible formats. Multi-light assemblies, like Quarnaro and its three lights or Velnorara in walnut, Japanese spirit, aim for a more elaborate piece.
