Lighting shapes how a room looks and feels. Ambient lighting from ceiling fixtures, pendants and chandeliers provides overall light; task lighting from desk lamps, reading lamps and under-cabinet lights helps you work; and accent lighting from sconces, picture lights and small lamps adds depth. Independent makers on MultiVendor Market create ceramic, wood, glass, paper and metal lamps, and vintage restorers rewire and refurbish older fixtures.
Check the bulb fitting, maximum wattage and whether the fixture is suitable for LED bulbs and dimmers. Color temperature, measured in kelvin, changes the mood from warm to cool. Hardwired fixtures such as pendants and ceiling lights need to be installed by a qualified electrician, and electrical products should meet the safety standards where you live.
For pendants, check the drop length and whether the cord can be shortened.
Choosing lamps and light fixtures
- Check bulb fitting, maximum wattage and whether a bulb is included.
- Confirm plug type and voltage for lamps from another country, and that the product meets local electrical standards.
- For vintage lighting, ask whether it has been rewired and safety tested.
- Measure drop length and fixture size for pendants and chandeliers.
- Hardwired fixtures should be installed by a qualified electrician; follow local rules.
- Check dimmer compatibility if you plan to use one.
Questions about lighting
Is it safe to buy a vintage lamp?
It can be, if it has been rewired and tested. Ask the seller what work was done, and have an electrician check fixtures that will be hardwired.
Can I install a pendant light myself?
Rules vary by country, and wiring work is often required to be done by a qualified electrician. Check local rules and hire a professional if in doubt.
What color temperature should I choose?
Warmer light suits living spaces and bedrooms, while cooler light suits task areas. Ask the seller which bulbs suit their fixture.
