What Is a Pendant Light?

A pendant light is a single fixture suspended from the ceiling by a cord, chain, or rod, designed to hang down and provide focused or ambient illumination over a specific area. Unlike flush-mount ceiling fixtures, pendants drop into the room to serve as both a functional light source and a decorative focal point, commonly used over kitchen islands, dining tables, entryways, and living spaces.
