pendant light
Suspended ceiling fixture
A pendant light is a light fixture suspended from the ceiling by a cord, chain, or rod.
Unlike flush-mounted fixtures, pendants hang down into the room, often over kitchen islands, dining tables, or entryways.
Three pendant lights hung above the bar.
The term emphasizes the hanging element—pendant meaning something that hangs.
