PH5 Pendant Lamp

PH5 Pendant Lamp Installation Guide

The PH5 Pendant Lamp is a timeless lighting fixture, commonly used in restaurants and dining areas to create a warm, glare-free atmosphere. Proper installation height and spacing are essential to achieve balanced illumination and comfortable visibility for guests.


Recommended Hanging Height

Distance from the Bottom of the Fixture to the Table:

  • 30–36 inches (76–91 cm) above the tabletop is recommended.
    This height ensures soft, even light distribution across the table while keeping the fixture out of guests’ sightlines. It also prevents accidental bumps when standing or moving around the table.

Distance from the Bottom of the Fixture to the Floor:

  • Assuming a standard table height of approximately 30 inches (76 cm), the bottom of the lamp should be positioned 59–65 inches (150–165 cm) from the floor.
    This maintains both visual harmony and functional lighting.


Number of Lamps and Spacing

For long dining tables, multiple pendant lamps are typically used to achieve consistent light coverage and aesthetic balance.

  • Use two or more PH5 lamps for tables exceeding 6 feet (180 cm) in length.

  • Maintain a spacing of approximately 30–40 inches (76–102 cm) between each fixture to provide uniform illumination and an elegant visual rhythm.

PH5 Pendant Lamp – Height and Size Guide

Choosing the correct hanging height for your PH5 Pendant Lamp is essential to achieving optimal lighting, comfort, and aesthetics. The following recommendations will help you determine the ideal placement based on table height, ceiling height, and lamp size.


Key Considerations When Determining Hanging Height

1. Distance from Tabletop to Lamp Base
This is the most important factor. The recommended distance is 30–36 inches (76–91 cm) from the tabletop to the bottom of the lamp.
This height provides even light distribution across the table, prevents glare, and ensures clear sightlines between diners without risk of bumping one’s head when standing up.

2. Ceiling Height
For rooms with higher ceilings, the pendant can be hung slightly higher to maintain visual balance. In spaces with lower ceilings, the lamp should hang closer to the table to avoid appearing too dominant.

3. Lamp Size
Larger pendants naturally appear lower, so they can be hung a few inches higher to preserve proportion and balance within the space.

4. Personal Preference
Ultimately, the ideal height depends on your aesthetic taste, room design, and how the space is used. Adjust as needed to suit your comfort and style.
