Floating in space, suspended lighting appears weightless and airy. Suspended light fittings present a creative, flexible and visually attractive approach to lighting and interior design in modern offices and architecture.

Modern ceiling lights offer a welcome change from the dull and dreary recessed flat panels and can be a very good indication of the quality of a fit-out.

A well-designed scheme using suspended ceiling lights can dramatically enhance the look and feel of any commercial application. Commercial pendant light fittings are a great choice when lighting unusually shaped spaces such as vaulted ceilings or listed buildings that cannot be altered.

A Bold visual statement.

Whether you are using slimline, medium-size or wide profiles, suspended lighting can be used as single stand-alone units in a repetitive style or a cluster of ‘hanging lights’ at different angles creating a bold visual statement.

Part of the design scheme.

Large airy atriums and double-storey reception areas are calling for cool ‘space fillers’. These are suspended architectural feature luminaries that strongly influence the look and feel of the scheme.

Some schemes can successfully use indirect lighting only. The devil is in the detail and a correct balance of natural light and artificial light has to be achieved.

Whatever effect you are trying to achieve and guidelines you are working to, when lighting a space, talk to experienced lighting designers first.

The high demand for flexible office space is making suspended office lighting a popular choice when specifying commercial lighting and architectural lighting. Schemes using suspended direct/-indirect luminaires are not only LG7 compliant, but they are also visually attractive and offer comfortable working conditions. In the long term, this all adds up, offering a good return on investment and future-proofing your property.

Pendant ceiling lights are a popular specification choice thanks to relatively simple installation,  especially in new-build schemes using modern ceilings. The beauty of LED suspended ceiling lights though is that they can be used even with ceiling panels or ceiling grids in place.

Easy installation can reduce the cost of a fit-out. Some of the suspended linear lightings come with a plug & play system and ready to install suspension kit as standard, making the installation process a breeze.

Bespoke Solutions.

Contemporary ceiling lights often refer to basic geometrical shapes- circles, rings, continuous lines or geometrical shapes like triangles, hexagons and pentagons. Specified in large sizes and custom finishes, these are capable of becoming statement ceiling lights and turning into a feature. Explore our geometrical range here or talk to our team if you are interested in more of made to measure luminaries.

Suspended lighting lends itself perfectly to made to measure and bespoke solutions or used in clusters to create unique cluster pendant light.
