As much a work of art as a lighting fixture, pendant lights elevate the look of any space. Plus, they spare your drywall, both from cutting new holes and patching old ones. Take this one, for example, it brings an antique-inspired look to a traditional aesthetic. It is crafted of metal, in a brushed nickel finish, and accommodates one lightbulb of up to 150 W (bulb not included), and is powered by a junction box. This hardwired luminary is compatible with sloped ceilings and can be dimmed.
