Shop Pendant Lights

There are few other lighting options as versatile as pendants. These hanging lights can differ in several ways, from size and shape to style and price. Depending on the lighting type you’re looking for, pendants can fit into kitchens, dining rooms, bathrooms, covered patios, offices, bars, and beyond. To help you begin your search, we’ve categorized our available pendant lighting options by use: crystal pendants, island pendants, linear pendants or multi-light pendants. Or if you’re focused on narrowing your options down by size first, you can choose to browse only mini or medium and large pendants.

Many of the pendants we carry have a modern, clean look and fit seamlessly into a range of spaces. Of course, we want to make it easy for you to find what you’re looking for, so we have multiple larger categories of pendants, as well as specific filters to refine the details. You can browse available products based on the brand, style, material, finish, shape, width, height, price, and more. Whether you need one long pendant to light up a dining room table, multiple small pendants to make a show-stopping statement in your entryway, or a host of different lights for your new restaurant, LBC Lighting is proud to offer a wide selection of top-quality products for you to choose from.

If you have questions about any of the pendants we have available, or if you’d like to inquire about a specific brand or style, you can fill out a contact form here. Our knowledgeable staff has decades of experience in lighting and design, and would love to connect with you. Along with residential projects, we’re also available to help with larger commercial lighting projects, such as restaurants and offices, and you can contact us here for a quote.
