Pick From a Variety of Ceiling Lights


Ceiling lights are fitted on the ceiling of a room to facilitate equal lighting to the whole area. The different types of ceiling lights based on the lighting design are chandeliers, pendant lights, LED downlights, top view lamps, spotlights, etc. Chandeliers are ornamental lights used for decorating the ceilings and hence involve exclusive lighting design to suit the size of the room and also to provide sufficient illumination. Chandeliers have a minimum of three bulb holders and the number of bulb holders can be up to even 20 or 30. Some also have shades made of fabric and papers to attenuate bright and intense luminescence. In general, all centerpiece ceiling lights have some kind of covering for them made of glasses, crystals or fiber moulds. Traditional ones have metal fixtures, which can hold any type of light bulb while contemporary ones have fiber mould fixtures, which are uniquely made for energy saving bulbs.

Chandeliers: Chandeliers are centerpiece decorative fixtures, which are usually branched and have three to over thirty placeholders with metal and glass, crystal or ceramic ornamentation. These have been in use since medieval times and the illumination in chandeliers is facilitated by refraction of light through these ornamentations. Big halls in hotels, public buildings and galleries invariably are decorated with extravagant chandeliers. Some of the palaces still have chandeliers that are lit with candles.

Pendant Lights: Another form is the pendant light, which has long metal pipes or rods to hang the fixtures from the ceiling. They are normally used in rooms with a high ceiling so that the entire room is lit up brightly. Generally, they are used to provide illumination over dining tables or over kitchen slabs or used as entrance lights. Pendant lights can also have lamp shades made of fabric, paper or stained glass.

LED Downlights: LED downlights are an inbuilt lighting system exclusively used on the ceiling of a room. The downlights can be a single big centerpiece light fixture or can also be multiple mini downlights fixed in a particular order as border lights or as assorted distributed lights on the ceiling; this ensures evenly spread out lighting and thus it the most desired lighting design used on the ceilings of commercial buildings.

Top View Lamps: Top view lamps became popular after the introduction of contemporary lighting. Top view lamps are a form of ceiling lights where modern light fixtures have LED tubes that are twisted and arched to suit the shape of the lighting design. The top view light fixtures can be made of different coloured stained glass to gel with the wall colour and also to give a trendy and vibrant look.

Spotlights: Spotlights are also used as ceiling lights. Most of the corridor ceilings, bathroom ceilings, kitchen ceilings and dining room ceilings have spotlights to highlight a particular spot or area with focused lighting. In living rooms spotlights are used to highlight are work and exclusive decorative pieces.
