About Pendant Lights AU

Pendant Lights AU began with a simple frustration. When our founder was renovating her Melbourne home in 2019, she found it nearly impossible to get straightforward advice about pendant lighting. Should the kitchen island pendants be 60 or 75 centimetres above the benchtop? What diameter works for a 1.8-metre dining table? The answers were scattered across American blogs with irrelevant measurements and outdated design forums.

That experience sparked an idea: create a comprehensive, Australian-focused resource that addresses the specific needs of homeowners in our market. We understand the unique challenges of Australian homes, from the standard 2.4-metre ceilings in many older properties to the open-plan living that dominates contemporary architecture. We factor in the Australian electrical regulations that affect installation decisions and the availability of products through Australian retailers.

Today, our team combines decades of experience in interior design, lighting specification, and electrical installation. We test pendant lights in real Australian homes, analyse the latest trends in the local market, and translate complex technical information into practical advice that any homeowner can follow.

Our guides cover everything from choosing the right pendant size for your specific room dimensions to understanding the differences between LED colour temperatures. We explain installation safety requirements, recommend maintenance practices that extend fixture life, and help you navigate the sometimes overwhelming variety of styles available.

Unlike product review sites that churn through endless listings, we focus on education. We believe that when you understand the principles of good lighting design, you can make confident decisions about any fixture, whether it costs $50 or $500. Our goal is to empower you with knowledge, not just point you toward the next purchase.

We are proudly Australian, writing for Australian homeowners, with Australian safety standards and design sensibilities in mind. Whether you live in a heritage Queenslander, a Sydney apartment, or a new build in Perth, our advice is tailored to the realities of Australian homes and the products available in our market.
