The installation height of pendant lighting in a home can vary depending on several factors, including the purpose of the lighting, the size of the pendant fixture, the height of the ceiling, and the specific area where the pendant lights will be installed. Here are some general guidelines to help you determine the appropriate installation height for pendant lighting in different areas of your home.

Pendant lighting for living room

 1. How to calculate the size of a Pendant light for a living room?

The pendant light diameter = （room length + room width) / 12

Suitable for round lamps, multi-head lamps, and chandeliers, but needs to be adjusted appropriately according to actual conditions.

For example, If the living room is 5M long and 4M wide

The diameter of the living room lamp = (500cm+400cm) / 12 = 75CM

2. How to calculate the size of a surface-mounted ceiling light for a living room?

For the surface-mounted lamp

Maximum diameter = room diagonal distance /8

Minimum diameter = room diagonal distance /10

* For example, If the room diagonal is 10m

The maximum diameter of the ceiling main light = 10/8 = 1.25m

The minimum diameter of the ceiling main light = 10/10 = 1m

Then the diameter of the mounted light in the living room is more suitable between 100cm-125cm

3. Installation Height of pendant lighting from the ground

It is recommended that the bottom of the lamp would be 220cm from the ground to ensure adequate lighting and safety.

At the same time, the installation height of the pendant lighting can also be adjusted appropriately according to the floor height and style of the room to create the best lighting effect.

Pendant lighting for the dining Room

Installation Height of pendant lighting from the ground

It is recommended to be more than 150 cm from the ground.

Generally, restaurant lights are installed above the dining table, so taking the dining table as a reference, the distance between the pendant lights and the tabletop should be greater than 70-80CM to maintain lighting while ensuring that the head is not hit.

Pendant lighting for Bedroom

Bedroom pendant lights are recommended to be 30-50 cm away from the bedside table to provide soft night lighting.

- If the pendant light is mainly used for decoration, the height from the ground should generally not be less than 2.2 meters.

- If the pendant light is mainly used for lighting, the height from the ground should generally not be less than 2.5 meters.
- In places where lighting is required, such as entrance doors, corridors, stairways, stairwells, kitchens, and toilets, the height should be determined according to different situations. Generally speaking, the height should be above 2.5 meters.

Conclusion

When installing pendant lamps, you should choose appropriate lamps according to different spaces, different uses, and different needs to achieve the best brightness and effect.
