The
Mini Pendant is a single light fixture that hangs from
the ceiling. It is the quintessential light fixture that possesses the
ability to elevate a living space from dark and dreary to bright and
cheery. It has many functions and purposes from lighting a counter space to
being the main focal point of a living room. The perfect mini pendant is
dependant upon function, location and the overall design one is hoping to
convey.
Styles Mini pendants offer a
variety of options. The inverted pendant is popular and most often used in
entry ways and foyers. Then there are the glass pendants which become
iconic jewels that hang from the ceiling. This glass may be composed of
artisan glass featuring unique color schemes that are intensified by light.
What about style? Are you looking for traditional, transitional, modern,
classic or chic? Each option, choice, and style is available within the
immense Arcadian Lighting collection at affordable pricing.
Applications Aspire to
brighten your home, enliven an office space, or enlighten a commercial
landscape with the definitive
mini
pendant. It is always a popular choice, has the power to enhance a
living space and can be acquired for a reasonable price. Where is the
typical application? In commercial restaurants mini pendants are great
above dinning tables because they are low-voltage fixtures that require
less energy than a full-sized pendant or
chandelier. In
homes, pendant lights are popularly installed on a track system to create

round our square canopy to create unique fixtures that take the place of
larger light pieces.

The History of the Mini Pendant Light
Originally pendant lights were made of natural elements in the rawest form including clay, terracotta or metal. Each was illuminated by a single candle. They were functional and their purpose was of the utmost importance. They brightened dark spaces but did not shine. As time progressed and technologies advanced, lighting became fashionable and its design became relevant and superseded functionality. With the incorporation of glass, the pendant light took on a new form and meaning.
The pendant became a sign of wealth and status. It was smaller than the chandelier and better applicable in smaller spaces. It was no longer limited to only the very wealthy or powerful. Rather than just providing light, its purpose became to illuminate and shine by way of design, form and style.
The Mini Pendant has emerged as a smaller, more affordable source of light. Again, because it is smaller than the chandelier and traditional pendant light, it is less expensive, easier to install more than one and can be integrated into more areas of the living space. Presently, the mini pendant is becoming more artistically relevant and aesthetically appealing. The mini pendant although very functional plays a pivotal role in design and overall perception of a living area.
The pendant light is no longer limited to just being a source of light
but rather it is now an expression of style, design, status and
concept. A light shines and a pendant not only shines but expresses.
For example, in the photo to the above, the LBL Lighting Belboy Mini Pendant is installed in a kitchen and is not the only source of light. Rather the fixture contributes to the overall tone, style and design of the kitchen by enhancing the color palate and creating a soft-warm amber glow. Notice that the recessed lighting provides the primary task lighting because of its position above the mini pendant fixtures. It is also important to take note that there is more than one pendant being used and that each is installed with a mono-point canopy. These are important details one must pay close attention to because they can change the appearance of a room and what a designer or design enthusiast is hoping to achieve.

Awesome!
These lights look great... I get compliments on them all the time. The cable they hang from is just lamp wire with a plastic jacket so they take a while to straighten out but for the price, they are awesome.
