pendant lights

Suspended ceiling lamps

Pendant lights are light fixtures that hang from the ceiling by a cord, chain, or rod.

They direct light downward over specific areas—kitchen islands, dining tables, entryways.

Unlike chandeliers, pendant lights typically feature a single shade or bulb housing: We installed three pendant lights above the bar.

The singular pendant light describes one fixture.
