4 Key Factors To Consider While Suspending Pendant Lights

 Pendant lights are wonderful. They add beauty, drama, the luxe factor and are aesthetically pleasing, no matter which room they are placed in. However, they must be hung at the correct height using lighting suspension kits or they may end up looking quite out of place- something we most definitely do not want to happen. 

Although there’s no winning formula as to what height the pendant lights must be hung. Nonetheless, there are a couple of factors that must be considered. 


  • The dimensions (scale) and the design (style) of the pendant light. 

  • The height of the ceiling. 

  • The room or space where it will be hung. 

  • And finally, your own preferences 


Along with these factors, there are a few more tricks that will help you achieve the correct height when suspending pendant lights. 



4 Factors To Consider While Suspending Pendant Lights


  1. Factoring In The Dimensions and Designs of The Pendant Light 

The two most primary factors that must be catered to while hanging pendants lights are, the size and style of it and also the space where it is to be hung. The generic rules while suspending pendant lights do not count if the size of the light is not in proportion to the size of the room. For instance, a huge statement light must be hung at an entirely different height compared to the height at which smaller clustered lights must be hung. 


  1. Factoring In The Height of The Ceiling

The height of the ceiling where pendant lights will be suspended is yet another factor that cannot be overruled. It is extremely important to strike a balance between the volume space of your room between the furniture and the ceiling height. Lighting experts use a general rule of thumb where they lift the light by 8cms for every 30cm above the standard ceiling height. However, this may and will differ from space to space. 


  1. Factoring in the Placing of your Furniture

Working on a blank canvas when building your home, one daunting task is deciding where to hang pendant lights. Well, one method that could make this process easier is to mark out the positions where the furniture will be placed, so that it is absolutely clear what are the things that you are working with. If you “think” you know the size and the measure of the furniture, let us tell you it is never correct. All you will end up doing is fixing the lights based on your “idea” and then finding out that it is either too high or too low or even off-center to the room. 


  1. Factoring In Checking 

This factor may apparently look to be unimportant, but believe us or not, standing back and checking if the light will enhance the look of the room may make or break the appeal of your room or space. This is the final step to get the correct height based on your personal preferences. Before fixing, ensure to ask someone to hold the light at your preferred height, stand back and check whether it is looking appropriate and appealing to you or not. 


Finally, use sturdy and durable lighting suspension kits to hang those gorgeous pendant lights to ensure the safety and security of you and your loved ones.

Understanding Suspension System Wire Rope Loop Fixing Kits

Suspension system wire rope loop kits are loop fixing separate components that are brought together to create a system that helps to support the weight. These kits comprise a pre-formed loop which is further attached to a length of wire rope and a simple fastener. This fastener system is used to adjust the height of the entire suspension system. On the other hand, the wire rope comes of multiple wire strands twisted together in order to provide greater strength and stability compared to one single strand.  The Usability of such kits:  The suspension system wire rope loop fixing kits are used to provide support to magnanimous amounts of weights like in electrical or mechanical service parts and even whole pieces of equipment like air conditioning units.  What are the different types of Suspension Systems?  The primary factor on which wire rope loop fixing kits depend is the load size they can hold. Suspension kit manufacturers, therefore, provide these kits with speci...

Factors To Consider While Choosing the Perfect Cable Gripper

  A cable gripper is used to grasp or enclose parts of transfer, insertion, or assembly. They are primarily used in environments where the human presence can be hazardous. Therefore, they must be designed and selected keeping in mind several factors that will ensure safety, reliability, and health concerns.  The 1/16” cable gripper is most commonly used for various applications. However, choosing and sizing the right gripper to meet your application purpose is extremely important and these are some of the considerations that must be factored in.  If the shape of the part consists of two opposing flats, then a 2-jaw gripper must be used. If it is cylindrical, a 3- jaw gripper is required. However, tooling can be designed to accommodate cylindrical parts with a 2-jaw gripper.  The accessibility and part consistency must also be considered. While angular grippers are low in cost, they require additional tooling clearance that will grip at varying points as part width v...

Understanding How To Check Non-Wicking Characteristics for Wires and Cables

We as laymen all understand how essential it is to prevent moisture from coming in contact with fiber optics. Cable and rope wire manufacturers understand this all the more and hence execute water wicking tests of the yarn and thread during the process of manufacturing the same. This helps to analyze the wicking characteristic of the product so that it is not only time-saving but also cost-effective in the long run.  What is wicking?  Wicking of cables and rope wires refers to the exposure of the yarn or fibers to moisture and how it possesses the propensity to absorb liquids into each of the strands through capillary action.  So, what is the wicking test and how does it help?  When a copper wire is exposed to water, it deteriorates its performance and functionality. It not only reduces the signal but also emanates light waves along with producing impurities further resulting in oxidation. Moreover, the continuous contact with moisture withholds the moisture internal...
