To estimate the number of watts you need to light a room, multiply the room length by the room width and multiply this number by 1.5. This will give you an estimated number of watts for the appropriate amount of ambient light, but you may need to vary it slightly depending on your personal preferences.
Multi-light pendants are very versatile and come in a variety of styles to suit your décor, ranging from modern to crystal, art glass to transitional. They are used in a variety of spaces, ranging from over a kitchen table to accentuating a nook or entryway. They combine the illumination of multiple light bulbs with the drama of having multiple pendants, all conveniently contained within one fixture.
Start by narrowing your choices by width. Many multi-light pendants are less than 20, but sizes range all the way to 49"; or larger. Once you have determined the width, you can find specific dimensions in each product description box. This will provide you with diameter, the height of the shade and the overall height of the light.
This will depend on the specific product that you are going to purchase. If the height is adjustable, this will be specified in the product description box. Adjusting the height is a fairly simple process that involves shortening the wires or cords that attach the shades to the fixture. You may need a basic understanding of wiring to do this, so do not hesitate to enlist the help of an electrician if you need it.
