Modern Pendant Lights

Float something special. These pendant lights bring charm and clarity to the everyday. Elevated in every sense.

  • Modern pendant lights that float with purpose. At Research.Lighting, we design fixtures that are minimal, sculptural, and quietly expressive — and our pendant collection is no exception. Whether it’s a single globe hanging low or a more complex arrangement of orbs and lines, these lights offer soft, balanced illumination with just enough presence.

    Perfect over dining tables, kitchen islands, or anywhere that could use a thoughtful focal point, our modern pendant lights bring warmth without clutter. They’re designed to work with the architecture, not against it — offering form and function in equal measure.

    Crafted with powder-coated metal and glass diffusers, each piece in this collection balances shape, proportion, and glow. You won’t find anything overly ornate here — just lighting that gets the details right. Because sometimes, simple is the boldest move you can make.

  • 1. Are your modern pendant lights dimmable?
    Yes. Every pendant in the collection is dimmable - from morning brightness to evening mood, you’re in control.

    2. Do they include bulbs?
    They do. Each modern ceiling pendant comes with bulbs, so it’s install, switch on, and enjoy.

    3. What are your pendant lights made of?
    We build with powder-coated steel, glass, and sometimes brass or aluminum - durable materials with a minimalist edge. Clean pendant fixtures, inside and out.

    4. Can I adjust the hanging height of these lights?
    If it's suspended by cord, yes - you'll set the height during install. If it’s a fixed rod, the height is chosen when you order. Either way, your pendant lands right where you want it.

    5. Can modern pendants be installed on a sloped ceiling?
    Some are slope-ready as-is. For others, we can tweak the design to work - just reach out and we’ll make it happen.

    6. Where do modern pendant lights look best?
    Over kitchen islands, in dining areas, above nightstands, reading corners, entryways. These minimal hanging lights do a lot without crowding your space.

    7. Can I use these in damp areas like bathrooms?
    Most are rated for damp locations - just no direct exposure to water. Always check the product page for the full scoop.

    8. Can I group pendants together?
    Definitely. Whether it’s a single clean pendant fixture or a row of three, grouped pendants bring structure and style.

    9. Are these lights heavy?
    Nope. They’re designed to be visually strong but physically lightweight - no special ceiling support needed.

    10. Will I need a pro to install them?
    We recommend it. You’ll get clean lines and a safe install - especially helpful with ceiling-mounted wiring.

    11. Do modern pendant lights work in commercial spaces?
    Yes. These minimal hanging lights show up beautifully in retail, hospitality, workspaces - anywhere indoors that wants to look good and feel right.

    12. What’s the lead time on these?
    Since every piece is made to order, timing varies. Check the product page for current details.

    13. Can I return a pendant if it doesn’t fit my space?
    We don’t offer returns because each piece is made just for you. But we’re always here to help before you order - just ask.
