Pendant Lights

Pendant families from the Guzhen decorative workshops — kitchen island sets, plug-in swag pendants, rattan and woven shades, hand-blown glass domes, plus damp-rated and outdoor builds. Kitchen installations lead demand, followed by dining, bedrooms and covered outdoor spaces. Choose by form and drop length; standard-size pendants run in batches while custom drops are built to the millimeter of a project drawing.

By form

Six pendant families buyers order most

Buyers ask for the scene first — the island, the entry, the bedside — then pick a form. The same fixtures grouped by material series (alabaster, travertine, glass, rattan, brass) live in the decorative lighting index; statement multi-tier pieces sit with the chandelier & pendant collection.

Browsing by material instead? The decorative index groups the same workshops by alabaster, travertine, sculptural glass, rattan and brass series.

Kitchen island pendants

The island run: sizing and hanging height

The kitchen island is where pendant programs are won or lost — get the height and the head count right at drawing stage and the same SKU repeats across a whole housing line.

Pendant height over the island

The working rule is 75-90 cm (30-36 in) from countertop to the bottom of the shade — low enough to light the work surface and read as a line, high enough that the fixture stays out of sightlines across the island. In walk-through kitchens keep at least 2.1 m clear floor clearance under the lowest point, and confirm the final drop against ceiling height and the drawings before production.

How many pendants over the island

Space heads about 75-90 cm apart, measured edge to edge, and center the run on the island — odd numbers read best. A 1.8 m island typically takes three Ø250-300 mm domes or one linear canopy; over-scale woven shades can run as a pair.

Common questions

Pendant light sourcing FAQ

How high should pendant lights hang over a kitchen island?
The working rule is 75-90 cm (30-36 in) from countertop to the bottom of the shade, with at least 2.1 m clear floor clearance in walk-through kitchens. We confirm the exact drop against your ceiling height and drawings before production, and custom drops carry no tooling for standard constructions.
Do you make plug-in (swag) pendants for markets without ceiling boxes?
Yes. Cord-and-hook pendant families with 3-5 m braided cords, in-line switches and wall hooks are a standard batch line — cord sets and plugs are specified per destination market, with the matching certification (CE, UKCA, SAA) verified per order.
What is the minimum order for pendant lights?
Standard pendant families start from 100-200 pcs trial lots, with batch pricing from 500 pcs. Custom island sets and non-standard drops are quoted per project, with pre-production samples in 14-21 days.
Can pendants be rated for bathrooms and outdoor use?
Yes. Damp-location bathroom pendants use sealed shades and rated lamp holders, and outdoor builds reach IP44 and above with marine-grade finishes. The rating you need depends on the installation zone — we map it to your market's rules and verify certificates per order.
