Gleam Lite Gold Metal Hanging Pendant Light

How much light escapes from the holes in a perforated pendant shade?

The holes emit a soft, decorative glow rather than strong illumination, so the majority of usable light comes from the fixture’s open base.

Will this look good with industrial or Scandinavian interiors?

Yes, the clean lines and metallic finish blend well with industrial, Scandinavian, and even mid-century modern spaces depending on how it's styled.

Can this light reduce glare compared to open-bulb pendants?

Yes, the metal shade conceals the bulb from direct view, helping to cut down on harsh glare while still providing effective downward light.

How do I know if the drop length will suit my ceiling height?

Measure from the ceiling to the surface you’re lighting — most pendants hang 28–36 inches above tables or counters. Check if the cord length is adjustable.

What’s the difference between matte and brushed finishes on lighting?

Matte finishes have a soft, non-reflective look, while brushed finishes show subtle texture and reflect more ambient light without being shiny.

Is this suitable for placing above a bedside table?

Yes, it’s a stylish alternative to a bedside lamp, especially in small spaces — just ensure the light is hung at a reachable height for reading or ambience.

Do I need special tools or an electrician to install this?

Basic installation requires wiring into a ceiling box, so if you're not familiar with electrical work, hiring a licensed electrician is the safest option.
