Pendant lamps are suspended on steel wires or metal rods from the ceiling and form a focal point in the room. Their light distribution varies from direct to indirect or is a combination of both. Pendant lamps for dining rooms, like LDM's track system, highlight the dining table by providing downward direct light for a more intimate atmosphere. Traditional chandeliers and their modern versions, like the Cocoon or the Glo-Ball by Flos, offer diffuse light that evenly illuminates a larger area.
