Anyone who thinks of pendant luminaires with glass lampshades as something fragile may be right about impact-resistant diffuser luminaires for industry, but they are overlooking the value for the interior. Because glass pendant lights are simply elegant, fantastically beautiful - and bright! This is because with many glass pendant luminaires, the light can shine in all directions without obstruction. And to be honest: what are the chances of smashing the glass ball with a metal pipe in the kitchen, living room or dining room?
How high should I hang a pendant light with a glass shade above the table?
Normally you hit a glass with a teaspoon when you want to make toast. But not against the glass of the pendant light, please! But this is exactly what happens if you simply hang the pendant light too low. But it shouldn't hang too high either, otherwise the cosy atmosphere at the dining table will be ruined.
The lower edge of a pendant light should be 60-80 cm above the table top. This provides enough space for heads to lean expectantly over the pot of spaghetti, gives a good view of the person opposite and creates a beautiful light area around the dining table. This is how a successful evening in pendant light should be!
How do I clean a glass pendant light?
It doesn't even get light in the room! Is the bulb broken? Or the light switch? Quickly switched on and off again - nothing again. Take a closer look. If you notice a thick layer of dust on your beautiful glass lampshades: sorry, the light can be as bright as it wants - it will remain dark.
Pendant lights with glass shades are beautiful. And to make sure they stay that way, you can give them regular simple care and cleaning. Don't worry, it really isn't difficult and you don't have to keep any appointments free. A good basic cleaning is already possible:
De-energise** the light via the fuse (circuit breaker). Check this again on the light with a 2-pole voltage tester.
Allow the light to cool down completely.
Clean the light in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Lampenwelt recommends cleaning with dry microfibre cloths. Chemical or biological cleaners should not be used.
For glass crystal lights, we also recommend a special cleaner - please follow the instructions on the packaging.
After cleaning, try switching the light on again. And? Isn't it much brighter and nicer in the room?
Give me an insight into the variety of glass pendant lights! Please.
I don't want a simple, clear, round lampshade like the ones from a hundred years ago, you say? Oh, you don't either? Then we have good news for you: Glass is the trend. And has been for many years.
So trendy that you will find a selection of pendant lights with glass shades that can compete with all other materials. Because glass is flexible. You can shape it into ever new forms, bellied, conical, flat, structured like a honeycomb, wavy or mirror-smooth. And combine with other materials such as cork, wood, textile and of course metal. Some luminaire designers are stylistically moving towards a vintage\ look with copper colours. Others design colourful glass shades in retro\ style. And still others conjure up a rustic country house style light with smoked glass.
Which light source works best in the glass pendant light?
Glass screens that you can see through are all well and good. But can't I see the light source? And then an energy-saving spiral or a matt bulb with ballast ...
Stop! Before you think any further - let us briefly introduce the filament lamp. This is a modern LED and brings with it all the advantages of this lighting technology:
Energy saving
long lifetime
Switching strength
100 % brightness immediately
Compatibility with common sockets
But the most important thing is: The lamp looks like a light bulb. With luminous filaments and beautifully warm-looking light. Perfect for a glass pendant light, right? Take a look at a few of them in the shop.
