How do I hang pendant lights?

Accepted Answer

Pendant lights can add ambience, define a space, make a statement or blend into a room's decor. Philips Hue offers a range of pendant lights in different designs and sizes to match any style or size room – but one way to make sure it works well in the space is to consider its positioning and the height at which it hangs. If they’re above a table or island, hang the pendant light about two feet above the surface. If you have more than one light, space them at equal intervals to evenly distribute the light.
