Pendant Lighting can provide both task and general lighting. Equipped with shades or globes to avoid glare, they are suspended from the ceiling over dinette tables, game tables, kitchen counters, or other work areas. When used over end or night tables, they free up the space occupied by table lamps. Pendant Lighting by Sohoighting are available in incandescent, halogen, and energy saving compact fluorescent light sources. The use of a dimmer control gives you the flexibility to vary the light to suit the occasion. Pendants that direct most of their light downward, work best in situations where there is a horizontal surface to bounce the light off, such as as dining table or kitchen island. Pendants are also traditionaly used above stairs or in the foyer.
