Pendant Power: Styleture’s Favorite LED Pendant Lights

Pendant lights, also known as drop or suspender lights, are single light fixtures that hang from the ceiling, typically suspended by a cord, chain, or metal rod. They are often used in multiples, hung in a straight line over kitchen countertops and dinette sets, or sometimes in bathrooms. They are notable for coming in a range of sizes and a variety of materials like metal and glass. The most modern pendants – and those that are among Styleture’s favorites – also feature LED technology. In addition to the obvious benefit of conserving energy, LED’s are also better at focusing light in a single direction than incandescent or fluorescent bulbs. Because of their superior directional capabilities, they can be exploited by clever designers to outstanding effect. Styleture is always keeping our eye out for outstanding LED pendant lights that are impeccable in design. Here are our favorites of the moment:
