Choose how to install the light.

Tap a situation. The drawing marks the measurement, so you can see where to start.

76–91 cm

The line marks 76–91 cm from the bottom of the shade to the tabletop.

Dining table

Measure the table, not the room. Then check the light from every seat.

How to measure: Length and width of the top. For a round table, the diameter.
Starting size: Round: about half to two thirds of the width. Long: half to two thirds of the length.
Where to place it: Center the light over the table, even if the room center is elsewhere.
Clearance: Start with 76–91 cm from the shade bottom to the tabletop.

On a long table, two smaller pendants usually look better than one oversized light.

Before you drillTape a paper template to the ceiling and check it from the doorway and from a seat.

76–91 cm

The line marks 76–91 cm from the bottom of the shade to the island.

Kitchen island

Measure the usable island and keep the lights on its center line.

How to measure: Length and width of the working surface, not an unused overhang.
Starting size: One linear light: half to two thirds of the length. Several pendants: choose diameter first, then the count.
Where to place it: Even centers on the island’s center line.
Clearance: 76–91 cm above the counter. Leave the ends clear.

Mock the whole row, not a single pendant.

Before you drillThree paper circles show bad spacing before you drill.

210 cm

The line marks 210 cm of clear walking room, from the lowest point to the floor.

Center of the room

Length plus width gives the starting diameter. Ceiling height decides whether it can hang.

How to measure: Length and width in centimetres.
Starting size: (Length + width in metres) × 8.3 ≈ diameter in cm. Example: 3.7 + 3.0 → about 56 cm.
Where to place it: Place it in the usable center of the room, not over a walking path.
Clearance: In the walkway, keep at least 210 cm under the lowest point.

An open form looks lighter. A dark, closed shade looks larger.

Before you drillCheck that the ceiling box can carry the weight before you drill.

210 cm

The line marks 210 cm of headroom. Space the lights 180–240 cm apart.

Hall and entry

A rhythm of small lights works better than one oversized piece in the middle.

How to measure: Clear length and width. Mark swinging doors and the start of the stairs.
Starting size: In a narrow hall, try a compact fitting about every 180–240 cm.
Where to place it: On the center line of the path.
Clearance: At least 210 cm under the lowest point. Do not block an open door.

A dimmer makes the same lights easier by day and by night.

Before you drillThe count comes from the spacing, not from one oversized diameter.

The line marks 165–178 cm from the floor to the center of the sconce. Leave 8–15 cm to the mirror.

Bathroom mirror

Light from the sides usually softens the face better than one light from above.

How to measure: Mirror width and height, and the wall space on each side.
Starting size: A pair of sconces: center at 165–178 cm from the floor. A bar over the mirror: about three quarters of its width.
Where to place it: Place the pair symmetrically. The nearest edge, 8–15 cm from the mirror.
Clearance: Check the frame, cabinet doors and tap. Choose a fitting rated for moisture.

If the sides are too tight, use a wide, diffused bar over the mirror.

Before you drillHold the sconce at the planned height and check the reflection before wiring.

Shoulder

The dashed line runs through the seated shoulder: the bottom of the shade sits at that height.

Bedside

The seated position in bed matters, not the view from the door.

How to measure: Mattress height, and the height and width of the nightstand.
Starting size: Shade bottom near seated shoulder height.
Where to place it: Beside the bed, on the nightstand, with the light toward the book and not into the eyes.
Clearance: Keep the cord off the pillow. The switch should be reachable from bed.

Two different nightstands often need lights that adjust separately.

Before you drillTest it sitting up. What looks balanced from the door can glare at pillow height.

Eyes

The dashed line marks seated eye height. The shade sits above it, beside the shoulder.

Reading chair

Place the light beside or slightly behind the shoulder. Keep the brightest source out of view.

How to measure: Seat height and the distance to the planned lamp. Sit as you read.
Starting size: Floor lamp: shade bottom near seated eye height.
Where to place it: Beside or slightly behind the shoulder, never in front of the face.
Clearance: Keep the base out of the path. The bulb should not be visible at eye height.

Test with the other lights on and off. A dimmer helps at night.

Before you drillIf it still glares, lower the lamp, or choose a deeper shade or more diffusion.
