Height, spacing, and cord length tips
Pendant lights should hang 75-90cm above dining tables and kitchen islands. In hallways and open spaces, keep the bottom of the pendant at least 200cm from the floor for safe clearance. Single pendants suit bedside tables, reading nooks, and small hallways. Multi-light pendants (2-3 heads) work over dining tables and kitchen islands, providing even, layered illumination. Most pendants include adjustable cords (100-150cm). Always measure your ceiling height before ordering.

Types of Pendant Lights & Hanging Lights
Pendant lights come in different mounting styles to suit every ceiling and room layout.
One shade, one cord. Perfect as a bedside reading light, hallway accent, or single statement piece over a small table. The most versatile and affordable pendant type — from KSh 2,400.
2-3 shades on a single ceiling plate. Designed for dining tables and kitchen islands — provides even, layered light across a wide surface without needing separate wiring points.
Compact shades (10-20cm) for tight spaces — kitchen counters, bathroom mirrors, stairwells. Group 2-3 at staggered heights for a modern clustered look.
Large-scale pendants (40cm+) that serve as the room's focal point. Artisan glass, rattan drums, and geometric metal frames. Best over dining tables and in open-plan living areas.
Pendant Lights for Dining, Kitchen, Bedroom & More
How to choose and hang pendant lights for every room in your home.
Dining Table Pendants
Hang a pendant 75-90cm above your dining table. Choose a pendant that is roughly one-third to one-half the table width. Warm white light (2700-3000K) creates an inviting atmosphere for meals. Our Nordic 3-Light (KSh 14,500) is perfect for long tables.
Kitchen Island Pendants
Use 2-3 pendants spaced 60-75cm apart, hanging 75-90cm above the counter. Industrial styles like the Pot-Lid (KSh 6,900) and Spotlight LED (KSh 4,900) suit modern kitchens. Glass pendants add elegance to open-plan kitchen-dining areas.
Bedroom Pendants
A single pendant as a bedside reading light replaces a table lamp and frees up nightstand space. Hang 45-60cm above the nightstand. Choose warm, soft light and a compact shade like the Conical (KSh 3,800) or Nordic Cone (KSh 3,200).
Hallway & Entryway Pendants
Compact pendants or lanterns at 200cm+ floor clearance welcome guests with style. The Farmhouse Lantern (KSh 2,400) suits narrow corridors, while a Rattan Straw Hat (KSh 8,500) makes a statement in wider entryways.
Need something more dramatic? For rooms with 3m+ ceilings, explore our chandelier collection — from compact sputniks to grand crystal designs. For rooms with low ceilings (under 2.7m) where pendants won't hang safely, see our flush mount ceiling lights.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do pendant lights cost in Kenya?
Pendant lights at Lighting Studio range from KSh 2,400 for an industrial farmhouse lantern to KSh 19,950 for a premium designer glass pendant. Most popular pendants fall in the KSh 5,000-9,000 range. All prices include VAT.
How high should I hang a pendant light?
Hang pendant lights 75-90cm above dining tables and kitchen counters. In hallways and open areas, the bottom of the pendant should be at least 200cm from the floor. For bedside pendants, 45-60cm above the nightstand gives comfortable reading light. Most of our pendants come with adjustable cords (100-150cm) so you can set the perfect height.
Can I use pendant lights in a room with a low ceiling?
Yes, if your ceiling is at least 2.7m. Compact pendants with short cords work well in standard-height rooms. For ceilings under 2.7m, consider our flush mount ceiling lights instead — they sit flat against the ceiling and provide similar style without taking up headroom.
What bulb do pendant lights use?
Most of our pendant lights use a standard E27 screw-in bulb (not included). This lets you choose warm white for ambience, cool white for task lighting, or a smart bulb for colour control. A few designs have integrated LED — check the product description for bulb type and wattage.
Do you deliver pendant lights across Kenya?
Yes. We deliver across Kenya including Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, and all major towns. Orders within Nairobi can be delivered same-day. Order via WhatsApp at +254 782 333 333.

What is the difference between a pendant light and a chandelier?
A pendant light hangs from a single cord or chain with one or two light sources — designed for task lighting and accent. A chandelier has multiple arms or tiers with several light sources — designed as a room centrepiece. Pendants are ideal for dining tables, kitchen islands, and bedside reading. Chandeliers suit living rooms and grand entryways. Our pendants start from KSh 2,400; chandeliers from KSh 4,800.
How many pendant lights do I need over a kitchen island?
Use 2-3 pendant lights spaced 60-75cm apart over a kitchen island. For a 2m island, two pendants work well. For 2.5m+, use three. Hang 75-90cm above the counter surface. Choose matching pendants from the same style — our Industrial and Nordic collections have designs that group well.
Are pendant lights suitable for low ceilings?
Pendant lights work with ceilings 2.7m and above. The bottom of the pendant should be at least 200cm from the floor in open areas (75-90cm above tables). For ceilings under 2.7m, consider our flush mount ceiling lights instead — they sit flat against the ceiling. Our compact pendants with short cords (Conical at KSh 3,800, Nordic Cone at KSh 3,200) work in standard-height rooms when hung over furniture.
