The bulbs may hang all at the same height or be staggered for an abstract effect. These fixtures make a dramatic statement, and they work well in an entryway, dining area, stairwell, or living area. They are especially impressive when suspended within a double-height space. Multiple pendant lighting comes in a range of styles, from traditional to modern.

In many cases, they are more than just light fixtures, but almost light sculptures, art pieces or jewelry for your home.
