Above a dining table, the ideal position for an original pendant is 80-90 cm above the tabletop to avoid glare and highlight the table. In the living room or hallway, allow for 210 to 230 cm between the floor and the lowest point to maintain clear passage. For XXL lights, ensure the diameter does not exceed one third of the room’s width: a 60 cm pendant suits a room of 18 to 25 sqm. Multi-bulb models (up to 8 bulbs, 6 to 12W each) provide even lighting over large areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a kitchen, choose a compact original pendant (25-40 cm diameter) above an island, hanging 75-85 cm over the worktop. In bedrooms, a height of 210 cm from the floor is sufficient—opt for warm light (2700K) to promote relaxation. Dimmable models allow you to adjust the brightness as needed throughout the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome models are compatible with smart bulbs or DALI systems for precise lighting control. For bathrooms or damp rooms, check the protection rating: an original pendant light with IP44 is suitable, provided it’s installed away from direct water jets.

In living rooms, an original pendant between 50 and 80 cm in diameter with 2000 to 4000 lumen LED bulbs gives effective overall light.
