Lightswing® guide: choose the best model for your dining table

Not sure which Lightswing® is right for your dining table? You’re not alone. The best choice mainly depends on the length of your table and whether you want to use one or two pendant lights.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything step by step, so you know exactly what works for your setup.

Which Lightswing® matches your table size?

The length of your dining table plays a key role in choosing the right model. Especially with longer tables, proportions matter for both the overall look and the distribution of light.

Tables up to 200 cm

Do you have a dining table of around 160 to 200 cm?

In most cases, the Lightswing® Twin 90 cm is the best choice.

The lights are positioned 90 cm apart
Creates a compact and balanced look
Ideal for medium-sized tables

Prefer one pendant light instead?
You can also choose a Lightswing® Single.

Tables 200 cm and longer

Do you have a dining table of 200 cm or more?

Then the Lightswing® Twin 110 cm is usually the better option.

The lights are positioned 110 cm apart
Provides a more even distribution of light
Creates a calmer, more spacious look

If you prefer one pendant light, the Lightswing® Single 110 cm is the most suitable choice. However, for longer tables, two lights usally work better.

Should you choose one or two pendant lights?

Besides the size of your table, the number of lights also makes a big difference.

Choose one pendant light if you:

want a clean, minimalist look
have a statement lamp you want to highlight
have a smaller or round table

Choose two pendant lights if you:

have a longer dining table
want a more even light distribution
are looking for more balance in the space

What size pendant light should you choose?

Getting the proportions right is key to a well-balanced look.

Choose a lamp that is about 50–75% of your table width

In most cases, this means:

40 to 60 cm (when using one pendant)
30 to 40 cm diameter per lamp (when using two lights)

Example:
For a table of 200 cm, two pendant lights of around 30–40 cm usually work best.

Distance between the lights

When using a Lightswing® Twin, the distance between the lights is fixed:

Twin 90 cm → 90 cm between the lights
Twin 110 cm → 110 cm between the lights

The size of your pendant lights determines how much space remains between them.

Example with 40 cm lamps:

Twin 90 cm → approx. 50 cm space in between
Twin 110 cm → approx. 70 cm space in between

A wider spacing creates a calmer look, while a smaller distance feels more compact.

Practical tips for the right setup

Hang your lights 60–80 cm above the table. Not sure about the ideal height? Read our guide on how high a pendant light should hang above the dining table.
