How to hang a pendant light under a skylight

During the day, it is often the most pleasant spot in the house: the dining table beneath a skylight or rooflight, where you sit, work or eat. Thanks to the open design, plenty of natural daylight enters the space, making it a place that is used regularly throughout the day.

That changes in the evening. Without a pendant or ceiling light above the table, there is simply not enough light, even though this is exactly where it is needed in the evening. Hanging a pendant light under a skylight or rooflight is not always straightforward, as the electrical connection is often not positioned above the table and additional installation is not always possible or desirable.

Why hanging a pendant light under a skylight can be challenging

The most obvious solution is to install a pendant light next to the skylight. However, if the dining table is positioned directly underneath the skylight, the lamp often ends up hanging in the wrong place.

For many people, drilling extra holes or rerouting cables is not an option. The ideal solution suits your interior and does not require major changes to the ceiling.

A flexible solution for pendant lighting under a skylight

With Lightswing®, you can hang a pendant light under your skylight without relocating the electrical connection. The flexible suspension system is mounted on the existing ceiling connection. You can then easily slide and rotate the pendant light to the desired position, for example directly above the centre of the dining table, even if there is no electrical connection there.

Depending on the Lightswing® model, the lamp can be moved up to 93 cm and rotated 360 degrees, without making any changes to the ceiling.

Easy to install

Install the Lightswing® easily on your existing ceiling connection. Even if you want to hang a pendant light under a skylight where no electrical connection is present, the system allows you to position the lamp exactly where you need it.

The Lightswing® system is available for one or two pendant lights, in different lengths and colours, so it always fits your interior and lighting preferences.
