Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

How to choose the right bulb power for a hanging lamp? +

For hanging lamps in the living room or dining room, it is best to choose LED bulbs with a power of 6-10W (equivalent to 60-75W of a traditional light bulb) and a warm light color (2700K). If the lamp has an open glass shade, it is worth choosing decorative filament bulbs that not only illuminate, but also decorate the interior.

At what height should the lamp hang above the table? +

A lamp hanging above the dining room table should be suspended at a height of 75 cm to 90 cm from the table top. This prevents blinding of people sitting at the table and at the same time optimally illuminates the dining area.
