Pendant Lighting For Your Home by Lauren Tyler
Pendant lighting is not to be mistaken for chandelier lighting,which casts a softer more ambient light. Pendant lighting is usually hung from a single sconce on the ceiling from which sprouts a single chain or metal tube. The lamp shade itself is the pendant" that dangles at the end.
Pendant lighting is considerably more practical than other types of lighting, which is why you often see them in kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and other places that need to be well lit.
Usually the shade on a pendant style light fixture is completely enclosed and made out of a white, cream or opaque glass. These pendant shades usually completely enclose the bulb although in the last decade, hat shaped or funnel shaped shades that are open at the end and that can be adjusted in height using adjustable wires are becoming quite common (especially as kitchen lighting fixtures in condominiums.) You often see them suspended in a row over a kitchen island in newly designed buildings or hanging high from a twenty-foot ceiling in a hallway.
Pendant style lampshades are almost as old as lighting itself with the earliest version being the bare naked light bulb hanging from a fabric cord from a ceiling. This style of pendant lighting is known as the Burnside.
Shades on pendant style lighting, which was first popularized in the forties in the form of gorgeous blown glass shells, have evolved to compromise all sorts of styles. Some of the most attractive styles of pendant lighting are inspired from this era which features glass globes that have been stepped or squared off with Art Deco touches. You can also find square or triangular open flute art deco shades that have wrought iron details and pastel colored glass panels.
Pendant style tiffany lampshades are also quite striking looking but one problem with them is that they are not quite in style as a pendent. Floor lamps and table lamps look more contemporary then the hanging tiffany lamps, which unfortunately can make your place look too much like the interior of a chain restaurant.
Yet another style of pendant lighting that seems to never go out of style is the Colonial. This type of lighting features a shade that looks like a lantern with a candle inside. A similar style is the Storybook style, which is made of cast iron and hangs from a heavy chain. Both of these styles tend to look better out of doors but they were often found indoors in the seventies if you are going for that kind of horse drawn carriage" reference in your dcor.
Don't forget too that to be beautiful the stem of a pendant lampshade does not have to be really long. Shorter styles with stubbier tubes are reminiscent of the Edwardian and Art Deco eras and look contemporary and timeless at the same time. This is especially true if you can find a style that is shaped like a child's top, a trapezoid or deconstructed globe as these shapes are typical of this popular Mid-Century look in pendant lighting.
Pendant lighting is versatile and decorative and becoming increasingly popular, especially kitchen pendant lights. Lauren Tyler is a writer for LampLightWorld.com.

How can I upgrade my Scott USA expert road bike?
Hey guys, I recently bought through a second hand store a Scott USA expert road bike and was wondering how I can upgrade it slightly. Here are the specs:
56 cm size frame
54 cm centre seat tube to stem tube
80 cm stand over height of frame
7005 alloy frame
shimano sora gear set
Look Peals
Ritchley Crank 170 mm crank lenght
8 cassette , 3 sprocket crank outer 52T
i say i have just under 100 pounds to invest further. what parts can I possibly replace and make a distinctable change? Im no pro; only casual wear when riding this bike. One more thing, Ive been checking out the reviews on this bike but no signs of comments at all so if you know about bikes then please spill me some juice. dont hesistate to insult her.
thanks x
Thanks
It would be great if you can provide me the name of the suggested upgrade product and the price.
I wouldn't upgrade anything just replace parts as they wear out. You want to upgrade yourself with training and getting stronger. I have a bike with Sora components and one with Ultregra components. There is very little difference in actual performance. Most of it comes from the 4 lb weight difference.. I would spend the money on a heart rate monitor and a bike computer with a cadence function about 60 pounds for both. Measure the chain for wear and replace it with a good SRAM one when needed. Spend some on tools as needed.
