Pendant light ball

Hanging globe lights

Rooms are not only characterised by furniture, wallpaper, curtains and carpets. In order for all these furnishings and decorative elements to be shown to their best advantage, sufficient lighting is also required. This is usually achieved by means of primary lighting, which provides an entire room with extensive light and sets the scene for all the furniture. Suspended globe lights are ideal for this purpose. These lamps not only look stylish, they also provide a high level of brightness and ensure friendly, inviting lighting. You and your guests will immediately feel much more comfortable in the living room, which invites you to linger with such a light construction. In addition to these models, you will find a large selection of other interior lights such as table lamps, pendant lights, ceiling lights, floor lamps or wall lights as well as accessories at affordable prices in our online shop.

What are hanging globe lights?

Such globe lights are among the primary light sources for rooms. This means that they are responsible for the wide-ranging illumination of an entire room and shine correspondingly brightly. The models are always mounted on the ceiling and hang down from a cable and the corresponding base. However, such a lamp is not only functional in nature, as the different lampshade designs are highly variable and leave nothing to be desired. They are often made of paper, glass or bamboo, are black, white or light brown and can therefore be matched to different furnishing styles.

An LED is integrated inside each one as a light source, which impresses with its efficiency and environmental friendliness. The number of lighting elements can also vary. Some models only have one large sphere with a corresponding diameter, which should be mounted in the centre of the room to provide sufficient illumination. Other models are equipped with several smaller spheres. These lamps are more suitable as secondary lighting and are also referred to as "flame" lamps. Many lights also come with special additional functions. For example, they are dimmable, their height can be individually adjusted or controlled with a remote control and the colour of the LED can be changed.

Where are the globe lamps used?

There are numerous placement options for this type of hanging lamp. As the models - unlike outdoor lights such as a lantern or solar light - have a low protection class, you should install them in rooms where people spend time . These include, for example, living rooms, bedrooms or children's rooms. Conversely, rooms where moisture, humidity or dust are present (e.g. kitchen, bathroom or workroom) are unsuitable. Outdoor areas such as the garden are also out of the question. However, you can consider the following locations for placing the globe lamps:

• In the stairwell to reduce the risk of accidents and tripping.
• In the living room, where the globe light provides a wide-ranging and inviting brightness.
• Above the dining room table, to accompany meals and cosy get-togethers with multi-flame models as pendant luminaires.
• In the hallway, to make every corner and all doors visible.
• In the children's room and bedroom, to visually enhance the room with a functional yet aesthetic pendant light.

How is a pendant light like this installed?

As the models hang from the ceiling on a cable , which is the connecting piece between the light fitting and the base, this type of light requires a different installation than a flat ceiling light. The installation is similar to that of a pendant light or a chandelier. In any case, you can carry out simple work steps such as drilling certain holes in the ceiling or fixing the light source in the socket yourself . However, as soon as it comes to the electrical installation, you should consult an expert . This will reduce the risk of injury both during installation and during subsequent use. Professional installation also ensures that the ball light is correctly attached and has an optimum service life .

How are the pendant lights cleaned?

Depending on the material of the shade, there are various ways to clean it. For models with glass, metal, plastic or paper shades, it is sufficient to remove the dust regularly with a feather duster . It is best to integrate such cleaning into your weekly cleaning routine. If the dirt is more stubborn and deep-rooted, it is advisable to remove the sunshade and clean it in the bath using mild detergents . Meanwhile, a fabric parasol should be treated with mild detergent and then gently air-dried. If it is a glass globe, a commercially available glass cleaner is ideal.
