A pendant does two jobs: it lights the space below it, and it is often the first thing people notice in the room. Our commercial pendant lighting runs from geometric and halo pendants designed by 299 Lighting, in standard sizes or made to measure, to globe, opal glass, conical and chandelier pendants from our partner brands LedsC4 and Nexia. Send us your drawings and we will reply with suitable options within one working day.

How to choose pendant lighting
Feature or working light
A pendant over a reception desk can be mainly decorative. Over desks and meeting tables it also has to light the task, so check its light output and glare data, or pair it with general lighting.
Scale and drop
Size the pendant to the room and to the furniture below it, and set the drop so it defines the space without blocking sight lines. We confirm drops on the lighting layout.
Shape and grouping
Hexagons, triangles and squares work alone or grouped into patterns. Halo rings and globes suit atriums and stairwells, where they are seen from below and from the side.
Made to measure
Our geometric and halo pendants come in standard sizes and can be made to measure, with RAL finishes to match the interior.
Ceiling and fixing
Check what each pendant will hang from, especially for large fittings and clusters. Multi-drop canopies keep the ceiling tidy.
Controls
Dimming lets the same pendant work for daytime and evening use. DALI and Casambi options are listed on each product page.

Where pendant lighting works best
- Reception and front of house: a single large pendant or a cluster gives visitors a focal point.
- Meeting rooms and boardrooms: geometric pendants such as Aragon and Ebro are built from linear LED profiles, so they light the table as well as the room.
- Breakout, cafés and hospitality: glass, globe and conical pendants bring a warmer, less corporate feel.
- Atriums and stairwells: halo rings such as Rydal and Ouse read well from every level.
- Retail: pendants over counters and display tables draw the eye to the product.
Chandeliers and glass pendants
For a softer, more traditional look, the Candle opal glass chandelier from LedsC4 comes in six models, and the Mist opal glass pendant suits reception and breakout spaces. If you need something we do not list, we can source it for you.
Bespoke pendants
If no standard pendant fits, we can make one. Past bespoke work includes hexagon pendant lights for Worcester Bosch. See our bespoke lighting service.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between pendant lighting and suspended lighting?
Both hang from the ceiling. We use suspended lighting for linear working fittings, usually laid out in rows over desks. Pendant lighting here means decorative and feature fittings, chosen for their shape as much as their light output.
Can pendant lights be the main lighting in an office?
Some can. Our geometric pendants are built from linear LED profiles, so they can light desks as well as acting as a feature. Smaller glass and decorative pendants are usually combined with general lighting. We check light levels against BS EN 12464-1 on the lighting layout.
Do you supply chandeliers for commercial interiors?
Yes. The Candle opal glass chandelier from LedsC4 is available in six models, and we can source other decorative chandeliers and glass pendants for hotels, restaurants and reception areas. Send us your drawings or a mood board.
Can pendants be made to a custom size or colour?
Yes. Our geometric range (hexagon, triangle, square, octagon, X, Y and boomerang shapes) and our halo pendants come in standard sizes and can be made to measure, in RAL finishes.
