Direct vs direct/indirect pendants: which to specify
Direct pendants send all light downward for efficiency and drama, while direct/indirect pendants also light the ceiling for softer, more comfortable rooms that help meet LG7.

How high should suspended lighting hang?
Pendant height depends on ceiling height, task and distribution; office linear pendants usually hang well above head height, with direct/indirect fittings needing enough gap to light the ceiling.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is suspended lighting?
Suspended lighting hangs below the ceiling on cables or rods. It includes linear pendants, direct/indirect fittings, curved systems and feature pendants.
What is the difference between direct and direct/indirect pendants?
Direct pendants send all their light down. Direct/indirect pendants also send light up to the ceiling, which softens contrast and helps meet CIBSE LG7.
Who supplies the lighting on suspendedlighting.com?
All suspended lighting on this site is designed, supplied and supported by 299 Lighting, a UK commercial lighting design and supply specialist based in London and Bristol.
How high should suspended lights hang?
It depends on ceiling height and task. In offices, linear pendants often hang so the luminaire sits a comfortable distance above desks; confirm with a lighting calculation.
Can suspended lighting be curved?
Yes. Systems such as Lena are made to measure in curves, rings, ovals and custom radii.
