FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the best suspended lighting for offices?
Direct/indirect linear pendants designed to CIBSE LG7 and UGR19 are the most common choice for offices.
Are pendants good for restaurants?
Yes. Feature pendants and warm, dimmable light create atmosphere and define tables and bars.
Can suspended lighting be used in classrooms?
Yes. Low-glare direct/indirect pendants give comfortable, even light in classrooms and libraries.
Choosing suspended lighting by space
Suspended fittings give designers control over both where light lands and how the ceiling reads. Offices typically use direct/indirect linear pendants that light desks and ceilings together to meet CIBSE LG7. Meeting rooms and boardrooms suit a single feature linear or circular pendant over the table. Hospitality uses clusters and warm, dimmable pendants to create intimacy; retail and showrooms use track or linear pendants with accent optics. In atria and double-height spaces, longer drops and higher-output fittings bring light down to people while keeping the volume visible.
