Do you want to direct illumination downward? The elegant lines of a dome pendant light work well in this setting. For example, the Pratt Street metal pendant by Sea Gull Lighting is an excellent example of how you can direct the illumination downward. These dome pendants accommodate one LED and have an attractive autumn bronze shade. At a width of 9.5 inches, these fixtures are great for kitchen or dining room use.

Selecting a Smaller Dome Pendant Light or a Multi-Fixture Display

When you want to hang more than a single dome pendant light, we recommend selecting smaller models that you can then combine with others. A good example is the Urban Renewal pendant by Murray Feiss that looks smaller because it has a caged bulb. The Evie hanging dome light fixture by Kichler is so small that the manufacturer calls it a cone. The six-inch-width is a good option for a line display over a kitchen counter or island. If you prefer to have a larger dome pendant light fixture, consider the Viceroy pendant by Hudson Valley.

Is there an alternative to the dome shape? Teardrop pendant lights are excellent alternatives. They still provide you with the gentle curves you like. That said, you might also select pendant lights in other shapes, such as cubes or spheres.
